1985 Merkur XR4TI
7500 OBO
I just got this car put back together with the megasquirt at the beginning of summer, I have been driving it to and from work (60 mile round trip, mostly highway) with no problems. The lines to the heater core are disconnected from the cooling system. If reconnected the car would have heat for the winter if you were crazy enough to drive it then. Car has no major problems and is working well. May come with a bunch of extra parts I have for it and all the wheels if the price is right. I also want to stress the OBO part of this ad. I do not know how much someone will be willing to pay for this car being that it is a niche car especially with the megasquirt in it.
