View Full Version : CA SoCal: '90 Cressida 5-speed with roll-cage, overfenders, much more! ($3700)

So, after buying this car three months ago, I've only driven it 100 miles. Combined with my new position (apparently, unlike transactional attorneys, litigation attorneys have to work 60 hours a week.... who knew :thumbdown: :P) and the need to purchase a dwelling in this crappy economy, this fact has led me to put it on the market.

Some of you may know this car, as it belonged and was built by Martin Cromwell. After an unfortunate incident with the Long Beach police department, Martin lost the car. I found it several months later and decided to save it... I ended up trading a 1999 B5 Passat 1.8T for it (thus, at $3700, I'm losing a decent chunk of change). My plan was to stick an LSx in it, but at this point, I simply don't have time for it.

The car has the following:
- full cage - according to Martin, to replicate something like this would cost about $2500 in man-hours and materials
- R154 5-speed swap
- Supra LSD
- overfenders
- Sparco bucket and steering wheel with NRG hub
- 2DIN Toyota CD player
- hood vent
- Starion wheels

What it would need to be perfect:
- With the factory suspension (cut springs), the car still handles quite well, obviously due to the cage, but some coilovers (JZX81s can be had on Yahoo Auctions for as low as $200 with camber plates) would make it amazing
- there is a dent in the rear door, but a junkyard door would be easy to find
- The seatbelts have been converted from electric to manual - they are held in the B-pillars by bolts that are smaller than stock (the US-spec MX83 never had bolt holes in the B-pillars) and the car needs either harnesses or a bracket welded to the roll-bar to put a bigger bolt in (as Martin was planning on doing) to be on the safe side.

Car needs to be smogged, but I will do so (just haven't had time).

Its most likely a 7M-GE, 89-92 models came with the 3.0l 7M motors.

Sweet Cressidy man.

Let me know... I picked it up because I knew Martin and wanted the car "in the family", so to speak. But, at this point, I'm going to need to let it go.

The car has a 7MGE.

If I somehow find a way to get the money, I will buy this. But it would be a miracle. This is exactly what I'd want in a Cressida. Nice car, and good price.

Wondering you can you get the cage out, also it is clean title? any ticket left behind?

what do you mean by "unfortunate incident with the Long Beach police department"?

Let me know, im interesting to buy it as for my dd and track.

pink godzila if you're gonna track it might wanna consider leaving the cage in (and it looks to be welded in so it'd need to be cut out which would suck). These chassis flex alot w/out a cage (my buddy had a jzx81 and when he took his cage out for inspection/registration, chassis flex was horrible/huge difference).

OP GLWS, sorry you gotta let it go.
