        <title>Merkur rally car project for sale</title>
        <description> Here's some cool stuff. 
Brake system - $1200 (cost ~$3000) 
JVAB big brake kit in front ~11.2X1.25 w/ Wilwood FBSL 4 piston calipers, two piece rotor (aluminum hat) 
TCE big brake kit in rear, 10.6X0.81 w/ Wilwood NDL 4 piston calipers, two piece rotor (aluminum hat) 
Hydraulic handbrake 
Dual master w/ remote adjuster 
AN-3 braided line throughout car, bulkhead fittings where appropriate 

Suspension - 
JVAB 41 mm fronts, 50 mm rear - $1200 
Medcroft special control arms and comp strut plus full spare - $1000 for all three arms 

Engine 
Two 2.3L longblocks in various state of disassembly 
One 2.3L longblock complete with 4 inline intake manifold, needs going through/rebuild. 
Modified Volvo head with intake manifold and tensioners and I don't recall what else.

Management 
AEM Stinger stand alone ECU and complete custom engine wiring harness. This was built specially for a Merkur and was used previously for a short time in a show car. I bought it when the show car was parted out a few years back. Considering an new engine harness is $500, this is great as it's harness and powerful ECU - $1200

6 Compomotive MO 15X7 et 40 with Yokohama A035 gravel tires (tires probably ready to be downgraded to rallycross use due to age.) - $1000 
4 Compomotive MO 15X6 et 25 with Michelin gravel tires (also probably aged.) - $800 

Caged and rolling shell with lexan side windows, lexan rear window, whale tail, Cosworth GRP grill, Cossie headlights, Cossie 2WD intercooler, shorty radiator, assortment of Samco hoses, Bailey header tank, swirl pot, longacre battery relocation kit to an old a possibly dead Optima yellowtop in a couture Tim Taylor alumunim battery hold down kit. - $2000 

Buy everything for $5k. Would need fuel system installed and minor assembly.  All parts available also.  Parting it all out.  Make offers on anything.
Located in Denver, CO.  Delivery possible for expenses.</description>
