I have an 83 GTV6 thats been sitting for about three years. Belt slipped resulting in bent valves. I have worked with the 2 litre engines for years but have no experience with the six cylinder. I miss that exhaust note and the ability to go from 25mph to 90 mph in third gear alone. So being of the "cash poor" persuasion, I would like to appeal to you all to get creative in getting this car back on the road. What I have to offer is (4) spica pumps. All working and easily tuned. Two or three starters. Two sets of straight doors, trunk and hood lids (white and gold). A pretty straight stainless rear bumper. (a gem when you consider that they want $850 for a new aftermarket one) Two, running, 2L engines (came out of cars that I owned and have plenty of life left, plug and play). Two trannies. (smooth shifting, and quiet, yes 2nd gear too), A couple of top frames. Half dozen tach and speedo's. A dashboard that I deemed worth keeping. And a perfect head. Complete with valves. (also plug and play). I have some other items but cant really think of what else. I am in Santa Cruz CA. Did I mention the 72 spider far from complete but the body is surprisingly straight and rustless, too much to restore for this old dog but still has some useful things. What I desire is an engine for the 83 GTV6, or a pair of heads that will make her sing again. If the latter, then some advice or repair tips would be welcomed as well. I would hate to have the car go the way of genocide. I suppose I could sell the GTV6, but reluctantly. Any creative solutions or ideas are welcomed. I'll sell any of the above mentioned items for a reasonable (cheap) amount. "cause we need the bucks". Thanks all!
