1997 850 GLT easy fixer for sale (Massachusetts)

With a heavy heart - it's a sentimental car, but I need it gone, and I'm not going to get to fixing it anytime soon.

Pewter silver paint 419 on the charcoal gray leather interior. Sunroof, power everything, dash trip computer was installed from ebay parts. Fog lights added but one got knocked off in the snow a few years ago. 155k on the clock as of 5 years ago but the odo hasn't moved since.

I'm going to ask $500 because there's more than that in the new parts in the trunk, alone; including a PCV kit, a tune-up kit, and the delta link it needs.

I will check back at 6PM Eastern this Friday to see if there's a high bidder. If there's 500 or more offered, it'll move. Buyer sends a truck to come get it.

Car is currently not running for about 18 months. 4 months ago I swapped in a battery, and gave it the Mystery Oil down the plug holes routine for safe measure, observed it spinning freely and normally without any scrapes, and installed a correct set of new plugs.

Turbo piping and plug cover is in the trunk, and I believe its no-start problem is no power to the injector rail, probably the relay's wire harness.

The car is in generally good condition for a 20 year old set of wheels. Definitely repairable. Needs tires and one brake caliper besides the no-start and included parts. Driver's inner door panel got yanked by someone and will need repair or replacement. Seats intact. Two spare rims come with it. Custom stereo that includes Euro-imported correct-fitting Pioneer speakers, a JVC head unit with bluetooth and hardwired mic, and the rear deck turned into subs.

I'll be happy to answer questions. I can get a pic or two but it's under snow right now.

It is the same 850 GLT light-pressure turbo I crowed about and showed pictures of in 2010 when I bought it.

Local inquirers can come see it, Chelmsford MA.

These early LPT's really kick off the line. It's an unbelievable hoot to drive. When it's up to snuff, it takes a high-end Vette to beat it on the green.

Okay, not a bite. First 500 or reasonable offer takes it.

Wow, not even a nibble.

Okay, I can get $250 from the bone-yard. First $100 that shows up with a tow truck takes it?
