I can go look it over if anyone is interested. I have honestly never even seen one of these in person, let alone for sale.

We have a neighbor with one. It’s a great color, and I’m an ocean race fan. But it’s just a trim package. Wonder what they did to the engine...?

I love the way putting a number on something makes it rare.

I’ve got the rare 1999 417/IQ60 T5 by the way, the only one made TTBOMK

haHA!!

I read the ad again - rod bearings. That implies poor oil management and sludge to me. That said, it looks pretty tidy.

One could just paint one's XC wagon Ocean Race blue for maybe cheaper than this exercise.

Ipd had this flashy one with huge wheels on their header for a while.....

Maybe Ill call Evan and see if he wants a home for the R engine. I bet we can get Mrs Evan on board...or else we will both end up in the wood chipper.

I looked on KBB, but they only have "fair" condition, needing some work, not "needs a new engine." Trade-in was 1200 - unbelievable, that's a $60,000 car.

Engine
R suspension
Rear axle

Could easily be a $10,000 money pit of work needed

Hi Pete,

Is it far from you? I am interested and was curious if the CL car could make it up a carrier and not blow up. I have a shipper I found on eBay and have spoken with him. His rates are excellent and has been doing this for a long time. Below is the eBay vehicle I was looking at with the shippers info. It's basically new from the pictures. Thanks.
