FS - European 1980 280GE SWB

European 1980 280GE SWB 4 speed manual was imported in 2006 under the “25 year” rule (no dot/epa modifications.) The former owner/importer told me it had been used in rally racing. Hood plate, fender tops and interior door liners are diamond plate aluminum. Driver and passenger seats are Recaro, all upholstery worn. Milage is unknown but estimated at 80,000 miles. Hutchinson wheels will not be included in the sale price of the truck. They may be available separately. Currently registered in Texas, previously registered in Indiana. Snorkel disconnected from air filter but in place.

*Reduced* FS - European 1980 280GE SWB

Lets improve the price ...

5.33  Ring and Pinion (cost)   $550

I mis-typed the price for the CV - it should be $1,170, not $1,700 - I see why you asked now ...

Re: FS - European 1980 280GE SWB

Drew,

Used to have a silver 463 in Indy, don't know if you recall.

Very tempting project you have here and wish I could scoop this off of your hands. This is exactly what I'd be looking for.

Unfortunately, now based in Shanghai. If you still have this come March 2012 for whatever reason, I may have to take a flight down to Texas to take a gander ;-)

G'luck!

Charles

Re: FS - European 1980 280GE SWB

This is the inventory of new body panels that are available with the truck (at additional cost, of course!) I'll consider selling them separately  or individually but would prefer not to. Drawings are available here.
