Description:
NO PICTURES.

1997 UrS6 - Former Canadian import, one of kind.  Europa blue over Ecru.  Extensive service and federal import records.  A few weeks ago on a normal commute, an unpleasant sound/vibration began and the car is now diagnosed with a spun rod bearing.  This failure damaged the crankshaft, the rod and certainly the bearing.  No other damaged occurred in the motor, which at 237k miles had negligible oil use.  The car is otherwise mechanically sound, with a file of repairs documenting obsessive upkeep over the years.  Easily $30k+ in repairs documented.  The body is rusty in places where the paint is absent, but there is no rust through and the underside still clearly shows the factory undercoating.  The interior is rough, but clean.  Tears in the driver's seat bolster and some larger wear marks on the carpet account for the worst of the wear.  The car is chipped with a Stage II ECU and 3 bar map sensor.  Up to the point of the failure, it would routinely pull to redline happily and ran
flawlessly on a daily 60+ mile commute.  Eibach over Koni suspension with a new, custom 3" exhaust.  Loud, but loads of fun - didn't wake the neighbors, but easily could have!  I would like to sell the car to someone who will rebuild the lower end, maybe add in new valve seals and guides and put it back on the road.  I will include a used crankshaft with the deal and would be willing to help source the rest of the parts.  It would be a shame to see this go to parts, but to parts it will go if it can't be sold as it stands.  Starts, but cannot be driven - would have to be towed/trucked.  Photos too big to post - will send upon request.  $3000/best offer.
