93 GTS - AT ($30K) (Vancouver BC)

 

Intriguing for sure.? In BC but looks like a US model.? Has high (relatively) 151K, and obvious issues; however, the ad clearly states stuff done (there's a lot).
Work done by Colin so I suspect he knows more about it.?
Oil consumption issues (like all GTS'), overall looks decent and in my mind seems to be a great way to get into a GTS and then pull a "Benno" and do a 5sp swap, engine rebuild, and you're good to go :D.?

The car is owned by Joe Milborne in west Van.

The car is in decent shape and has one of the sharkvac systems on it. It drives very nicely last I tested it.

Cheers

"Low Miler" on Rennlist tried to buy it almost 20 years ago.? He flew to Seattle with cash and walked away because the U.S title the owner had was just a photo copy. The problem is when the owner imported into Canada they didn't clear the export with U.S customs so going back into the USA could be a problem because it will show still registered somewhere in the USA.?

You can see on the carfax there was something weird with the owner at that time registering it in multiple different places in a short time.?

Not from the seller you can get the basic carfax from the plate if it is currently registered.?

The VIN is WP0AA2921PS820152?

Thanks.

That's a good tip too.

The database shows this one as a late 93 (number 92 out of 102).
Some interesting options (there were lots on this one)? including unknown IXD4 and IX22, I323 Sticker without ESE-R regulations, I596 Spoiler painted matte black, I912 vehicle without identification plate, and the interior was supposed to be light grey/black.? Now changed to tan with red piping.?
Looks like an ok job on the interior (not many pics).? Shame on the wing repaint to body color.?
Perhaps someone can grab it and register in the US where they don't research the title as closely??
If in fact it did cross the border without customs knowing, then getting back across without customs shouldn't be a big deal, just have the owner drive across and transfer.?
Anyone up for a challenge LOL :D? I still hope someone saves it so it won't get parted out.

I don't think it would get parted because it still can be registered and driven no problem in Canada. I know a car dealer in Montana who bought a "export only" Ford Excursion from the U.S Gov surplus auction but has driven it for 5 years in the USA on his dealer plate so there are ways.??

Wow, I read through the whole thread on rennlist (2006ish). Hell I even commented on it back then LOL.? (It's a who's who of Rennlist in the comments).

Lots of history on this one, but someone in BC can get a good deal (and have Colin take care of it), or there is the possibility of getting a title down here in the US with some work.?

Is there a nationwide database of stolen cars?? Can someone get something from either Indiana or Kentucky?

?

This one (being a US car originally) should be easily brought back down through an importer (paperwork) at the border if the title issues are resolved.?


Hope it ends up getting to someone who will want to restore it to its former glory.
