Hello Sprinter for sale in Canberra
This is a reluctant sale but unfortunately I've had a recent change in priorities and the Sprinter must be sold.
Background:
I am the 2nd owner of this 1983 Sprinter, I bought in july 2000, at that stage it had only 111,000 km's on the clock. Which is about an average of 5,000 km's per year. It was a collector/detailers car. He has got some classic cars in his collection. It was kept in immaculate condition. Anyway he eventually had to sell it and by a family car. So I bought it off him at the bargain price of $7,500. I was stoked it hardly been used and it was in perfect condition, I could of eaten out of the engine bay it was that clean.
Modifications done when I bought it:
They were mainly cosmetic because a classic car like this should not be covered in huge spoilers and lose it's character.
Momo Steering wheel and boss kit
leather gear knob
V4 Simmons mags (value $1,800 have receipt)
Dunlop Racing series tyres (fronts replaced last year, $220 each tyre)
Sunroof (very rare)
Lowered springs.
It was a top car but I want to improved the handling even further so out came the lowered springs and in went some custom King Springs and Koni Adjustable shocks so that the handling of the car could be tailored for any condition. The handling is now
amazing, sits very flat through the corners and is a great sideways machine when pushed hard. This was done at 130,000Km's Total cost of handling improvements $1,500
Anyway it was a great steel at $7,500 but after a while the 4AC just wasn't enough so I decided to put a 4AGZE in it but still keep the factory look in the bay as much as possible with a very neat professional conversion.
So the 4AGZE went in with a few extra features, at 133,000 Km's
Polished aluminium Surge Tank with two fuel pumps (VL Turbo)
180SX Radiator (large mult-core) with two 13 inch thermo fans to keep things cool.
The intercooler was front mounted with Full Mandrel bends.
the Exhaust system cost $1600 alone as it had top of the line straight through Cat, Muffler and full Mandrel piping.
The ABV was bipassed to stop any extra boost from bleeding.
an aftermarket strengthened flywheel, clutch and pressure plate were all put in, (It will not slip, no matter what end of story!!)
Total cost of conversion $8,000
General Info:
I service the car at least every 5,000 and look at things very thoroughly as this car is my pride and joy.
I don't know what else to say, it's a great car and a reluctant sale. it currently has 139,768 km's. I don't want to sell it. I don't know what priced to put down because I know I will disappointed no matter what happens, I'll be sad to see my project go.
Any serious offers or questions can be forwarded to my work email
gavin.chester@defence.gov.auor ring me and if you would like to know more, or come and see it, etc let me know.
Keep up the good work Toymodders
