Price reduced!

I've finally quit kidding myself that I have the time prioritized for this GTX, so it is for sale. It is located in Fayetteville, AR. I originally bought it from Dave Kern 4 years ago and have only driven it a handful of times on family/friend's farmland after I purchased it. It has been in garage storage and hasn't been started in the last year since the battery stopped turning it over. It was a hill climb car that competed in the Colorado Hill Climb Series, Pikes Peak, and Rally Idaho. My plan was to rally cross and then stage rally it.

Currently the car is set up to run normally aspirated, although it needs a jump/charge (probably new battery), tuning, and some minor fixes (rear quarter window install, solder in IAT sensor wire, radiator fan, etc. I have the turbo parts to set it up turbo again, it just needs some additional intercooler piping fabrication and mounting. The safety harnesses are out of date. The door bars and roof bar would need to be redone along with the addition of an a-pillar reinforcement bar to get a rally logbook. The GTX weighs 2600 lbs with the glass windows and both skid plates installed. It is a used rally car, it is not a show car.

Trailer can also be included, it was purchased from Dave Kern when I bought the GTX. It is a custom 16' steel trailer with two 3500lb axles, with trailer brakes on both axles. It has a tilting bed (with hydraulic hand pump, so no ramps are needed), it has a rail down each side (~30" wide) with a big opening in the middle, so when the car is on the trailer you have good access to the underside. Will include a Tekonsha Prodigy trailer brake controller as well.

I hope for your sake you do not have to resort to parting this out. but i could use the GABS as well as a few other bits on my GT, Keep me in mind please.

I am gaging interest in the car as a package. If it doesn't turn up anything in a few weeks, I will sell pieces off it individually. You are first in line for the GABs.

Is the car driveable as it sits? Say, 2800kms?

I am seriously considering selling the 02' WRX I just picked up as a DD to purchase this car. If I am to write-off another car possibly driving like a dink, I'd rather it be an inexpensive one...

What year was the cage built?

The car is drivable, as in on & off a trailer or around the block. But I would not consider a road trip with this car. It needs engine tuning to run well.

The cage was built in 2004.

Cage was built in the fall of 2004 as I seem to remember some guys thrashing to get a VW re-prepped for that race while mine was in the shop.

It raced in CHCA in 2005, part of 2006 (was doing turbo kit upgrades that year and didn't get it all finished in time), and in 2007 it did the full CHCA calendar, Rally Idaho (the year it was all tarmac) and Pikes Peak (in 13:25).

Wait, something is wrong. Where is the tree sized dent in the side?

---

Welcome to the cult of JVL drink the koolaid or be banned.

The car has dents on it. Dents in rockers, roof, sides...its a rally car that has been belly up in its lifetime.

I dropped the price because I am trying to sell this sooner rather than later.
