First off, I haven't logged on here in like 4 years. I remember there used to be a classified section? Hence if this post is in the wrong spot, I do apologize.

My turbo swapped Mitsu has a rotted/cracked frame. I'm looking for a good roller or even driving example. Must be 100% rust free with clean title and no severe accidents.

Can be anywhere in the US as I'll either tow it home or have it shipped. Highly prefer a car that's either been garage kept or spend most/all its life in the desert.

Must be a 4cyl model. Highly prefer a stick shift one. Can be missing parts or what not, as long as its in a rebuild-able state.

I can be reached at Malykaii@yahoo.com

88 Montero, StarQuest turbo, Kormex 5speed +tuff-pan w/phoenix f. stage2 clutch, 4in lift+33' tires, 4.875 lsd, short-throw shifter, Aisin hubs, SR big brakes, gen2 uca's, elantra alt, and so much more... 16g turbo w/hardpipes + 4.90 locking disk-brake axle soon (maybe lsd or aussie front??)

Guess what?

I'm finally an admin. We'll let you slide this time, as this thread counts toward activity on the Wire.

I would direct you towards car-part.com to search the wrecking yards

That's awesome. Congrats on the gig!

So no more classified section I guess?

I also didn't think junk yards sold cars, only parts.

I was thinking of trying craigslist in Arizona and Nevada, but I don't think people would take me seriously. As soon as I mention "shipping" I bet they'll think it's a scam

Lastly, I will also consider buying a ready built Montero as long as it's rust free and stick. (I'm so disappointed I didn't buy the LandRaider when it went up for sale years ago)

This is listed about an hour and a half away from me, no connection.

Damn, mine has a great engine/drivetrain but the body and frame are rusting away, shame its literally on the opposite corner of the country from me.

The classified section is still here and loosely active.

Frank Eck bought The Land Raider and it reportedly had issues. You will have to contact MudRunner to discuss off the board.

Hank... Your in the exact same boat as me. I personally think it's worth paying the $1000 to have a *perfect* roller shipped cross country.

Guess I'm glad I didn't buy the LandRaider!

Lastly, I just received a 6 month job offer in Oklahoma. I'll be there in a month. Still looking for a Mitsu but at least I'll be closer to Arizona and similar places
