Canadian '86 ur-q

["Mike Hopton" <mike@genesis-microchip.on.ca>]

     Oh honey, look what I brought home for Christmas a seriously damaged 
     1986 ur-q..... for me it would end in tears. It's worth more than my 
     life to even consider this so I'm posting to the list for help. 
     
     Anyway I followed up on Jeff's lead on the 1986 Canadian ur-q (way 
     back when?). The car is located in New Brunswick, if you don't know 
     where that is, don't worry about the car! The car currently resides 
     with an independent insurance appraiser and there is a low ball offer 
     in on the car, I know how much, and if anyone is serious they can 
     contact me for more details. The appraiser is currently asking $2,800 
     (CDN), hey it's one of the last North American ur-qs and would make an 
     ideal Christmas present all this and only 2 grand US (and that's 
     probably negotiable)! Oh there is a bit of damage...
     
     The car took a heavy hit to the left hand side. The door is badly 
     damaged, the left rocker pannel and the rear quarter pannel, there is 
     also a crease in the roof. All the glass on the left hand side is no 
     more, the rear window is okay. Disclaimer I haven't seen this car but 
     the guy selling sounds fairly honest. The car started and ran, but 
     this was back in May just after the accident. The car is red with a 
     black leather interior and 152,000kms.
     
     I would really like to see this car go to a good home i.e. someone 
     willing to repair it and not part it out. This was one, if not THE 
     last ur-q too be shipped to North America and it would be a pity to 
     see it destroyed/parted out or poorly repaired....
     
     So anyone out there who is SERIOUSLY looking for a project, preferably 
     in the North East, give me a call. 
     
     Incidentally shipping to Toronto from NB would be about $480 (CDN). Oh 
     I wished my company would go public sooner ;)
