FS: 1989 780 Bertone, 160K, rough, not running, complete - $500

This one has seen better days. It was owned by my friends father for decades, and I bought it from him when he passed. It had been well maintained, but Florida takes its toll on a car. The paint is oxidized and peeling, the leather has shrunk and come undone in places, and all of the plastic is either fragile or cracked. No rust, but some of the exterior plastic, like the spoiler, is broken up in many places. Front spoiler is mostly gone.

This car has run great for over a year- we did all the maintenance (new plugs, cap, rotor, filters, oil seals, timing belt, water pump, alternator) and it has been great. Turbo works fantastic - step on the gas, and 2 seconds later you are flying. Last week it just....stopped running well. Advanced the timing and got it home, sounds like the timing belt may have slipped. I replaced the tension and re-did the timing belt, but no good - can't get it started again.

My wife and I had decided a month ago to sell it and get something a little newer for my daughter for college, and so rather than fix it to sell, I'll see if someone wants a cool project or loaded parts car

So in summary:

Pro: Been a fine running car, super rare, lots of new stuff and maintenance

Cons: not running, interior is ugly, AC blower just stopped (have replacement), radio can be stubborn.

I'm in Tarpon Springs, Florida - west of Tampa, north of Clearwater.
