Default Corrado for sale

My son is looking to sell his 1990 Corrado G60.

It is not running. It's a restoration project he hasn't had the money for
some time. And now he has to move so he's loosing the place he's been
storing it. We'll be getting some pictures soon. If you're at all
interested, mail me and I'll put you in touch with him.

- Bill

Location, location, location... post the car's location and people will
be more interested. Also I strongly recommend including the asking price
(make it reasonable) as many of us blow off advertisements for stuff
without prices based on the assumption that the seller didn't put in a
price because their expectations were unrealistic.

Good point. We've just talked and he says $300.

Maybe, but he's time constrained. And, read on...

> How is the engine in it (and what engine is it?)


It's a G60. By definition that's a 1.8L SOHC 4 cylinder. The engine is
partially disassembled and the turbo needs to be replaced. It could be
restored and run. He was driving it when he started the restoration
project. But something came up and sucked up the money he was using for the
restoration and he's never been able to get back to it. And now he has to
move and there's no place to store it at the new location. So it's got to
go.
