Cheap Ocean Race ( "needs engine") for sale

Same one?

Are Oceans SONIC BLUE paint or their own paint code?

[- Pete -]

I do not know, but yes it is the same one. I took many photos and videos of it running the day that I went to inspect it. Also it had 164k (& some change) miles when I looked at it.

The town it’s listed in is approx 160 miles from the town it was sold in, so if it was driven that far with the rod knock....and then a new set of bearing shells (probably just the 1 cylinder) put in... boy I dunno. Now listed for $3500, probably sold for $800?

Interior is trashed, so sad The car otherwise looks nice. Engine crapped out does not matter much, it is far harder to find a good looking chassis and interior these days than anything else.

This is mine, about 2 years ago:




It got slightly better since that: new beige all-weather mats, new (to me) steering wheel

Yes, VTL, the interior is in pretty bad shape. The seats are a mixture of cloth and leather. The cloth is in very bad shape. I do not think that it would come clean.

The exterior leaves a lot to be desired. I will look through my photos, but I’m pretty sure the AOC was very wet. The original seller told me
The pump had been replaced. When I looked at it, it did not have the updated filter cover on it. Also, three of the four 4C shocks were dry, but one of them (rear left) was caked in oil and debris. Bevel gear had the usual amount of wetness on its underside.

Nothing compares to the Volvo Winter mats! They never age. I’ll never understand why people leave carpet mats in their vehicles.


Edit, found the pic of the AOC/Haldex/pump.

Yike those wheels in the ad - remind me to never buy another rust belt car. Wrenching on my western US car is relative joy after owning too many Chicago cars.



Love the color though.
