Description

This car spent its entire life in Oregon, mainly around the Portland area, with older registration documents to support this history. It was imported to Sweden in 2017, and the current owner purchased it in 2018. Since then, they have invested well over 90,000 SEK to ensure it runs and drives in top condition including an Engine swap from B12FT 499801 to B230FK 682113 . The bodywork is very solid but needs minor fixes and repainting. Unfortunately, due to illness, the owner must sell the project for someone else to complete.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As mentioned, the car is a pleasure to drive, thanks to the extensive amount of work and investment made to ensure it’s done right. The only issues are that the passenger side front and rear electric windows are not working, and the air conditioning is also non-functional. It comes with good turbo alloy wheels and newer, quality tires. The car is inspected until 2025-08-31 and is ready to drive home.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is clean, tidy, and well-kept, featuring nice seats both front and back. The rear seat pocket is slightly expanded, but the door cards are in good condition with undamaged plastic trims. The carpets are also in good shape, and the dashboard is clean and undamaged, with all gauges functioning properly. The sunroof opens and closes without any issues.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is solid with no major rust issues, only a small spot on the front wing edge (see pictures). There’s a minor dent on the front wing and bonnet that should be easy to straighten. The underbody is clean, showing no damage or rust problems. However, the paintwork is worn and sun-bleached, requiring a repaint. The rubber seals are dry and worn, and there is a small repair needed on the rear bumper.

  • General condition:

    The 244 Turbo is a sought-after model that is hard to find and expensive to import from the USA. This particular car just needs a repaint to look great, and it’s a super nice car to drive and enjoy.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
