Yup local. Black. He's asking like 11,500. Crazy low price. Wanted to trade it for my 08 caliber srt-4 plus $500 on his end.

The 2.3 Turbo is pretty stout. Unless you want to modify it, they're not expensive to own.

How old can you be if you think the EEC-IV is super crude? It's not at whiz-bang as the newer stuff, but it's certainly sufficient to run these cars. I'll be using one in my 944 to run the 5.0 with EDIS.

Also, the early carb 2.3 Turbo cars were draw-through carbs, not blow-through.

Look at the Grand Nationals and T-Types in the mid 80s, those things are killers.
