mobythevan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Some of you guys might remember that I went to look at an alltrac last summer for really cheap, but it was sold already. This one came up on craigslist and no one bought it for over a week, so I picked it up. The engine is knocking, but runs. I drove it up on the trailer and the knock doesn't sound too bad yet, but will defenitely need to be fixed ASAP. It is 100% stock, 182K miles, but just had engine rebuilt (uh huh) and turbo rebuilt, new clutch. We'll see if that is true, the guy was middle aged and seemed really nice so maybe it is. For $800 I had to pick it up for another daily driver at the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobythevan Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I was surprised it sat on craigslist and apparently no one went to look at it because the guy was easy to talk down. His add stated that it needed "significant engine work", but that shouldn't discourage any tuners. Maybe they thought it was modified and fried out by teenagers or something?? I am hoping to put it on the road in stock form as my new daily and then crank up the Talon to ~400hp with new cams, clutch and 25psi boost. But I am so busy for the next 3 months that I don't know which end is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
