Get Your Sprint On

[TC]

I got a good laugh out of this one. :D

1987 Chevrolet Sprint Turbo Hemi Head Ram Air Street Legal Race Car

The guy selling it probably could BS his way out of a firing squad. ;)

For $7900 I should be able to buy about a half dozen of these.

On your worst day, it might be a good thing to remind yourself that at least you aren't the guy who wrote that incredibly detailed and stupid description trying to peddle off his Sprint.

"There are several theories why this car production was put to a halt. But it was probably due to the fact that most people in those days did not care about Fuel Economy like they do now."

Here's my theory on why it was put to a halt. IT'S STUPID!!

Funny Bastahd. Equipped with a 'change holder'! Sweet!

Cool how the 'turbo' is hooked up to the intake with a vacuum cleaner hose... niiiiiice.

And holy crap, I had to scroll down about 27 times with the damn touchpad.... finger got tired.

Follow it.... bet someone buys it... he's right it actually is a fairly rare car... and we've had them Race at Maxton... For real... and then they wrong an article about it...

Re: Get Your Sprint On

Got a bro who is REALLY tight with money (Keith knows) and he's just built a hyper miler out of a N/A version of one of these. What youse guys don't know is that there is a cult following for these, both turbo'd and otherwise. I'm not sure on his price, but there is definitely a market for the little buggers.

Re: Get Your Sprint On

I'm in love. I've always wanted one.

But homey ain't paying $7900 for it.

you bet correctly

I have no idea it's value due to rarity, but that car was widely known to be able to spank an 87 vette by simply putting a bleeder valve in the wastegate pressure line... at the time, Bosch L-Jetronic was cutting edge EFI, and it had "extra capacity" built in; it had a stupid flapper valve, but it would add more fuel when you upped the boost. I.e. it was cheap and fun to embarrass Guido in his new vette...

I dig it! not for that much money though.

Re: Get Your Sprint On

it would not run with those cor-y - vettes - but it would torque steer you in the curb

Re: Get Your Sprint On

It has a "Make Offer" button, so I did.
I hope my $12.00 is high bid. I need a new motor for my leaf blower.

A vette from that era put *maybe* 140hp to the wheels.

Re: Get Your Sprint On

1986 vette would run 14ohs and go 156 mph
at the time - that was a rocket !!!!
