Maple Turbo

We didn’t realize Canada got a later Sprint Turbo. Apparently, they had this second generation car until about 1992.  In the US. only the first generation cars had the 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo.  The best version of this body that we got was the Swift GTI/GT, which was pretty darn cool itself and is referenced in the ad.  This one found its way to Arizona – not sure about registering it,especially here in CA.

It’s interesting that Ford just now brought out a similar powertrain…

Hood scoop wasn’t included on the Gen 1 cars the US got – it was more of an inlet at the leading edge of the hood.  We’re not sure if this is supposed to be body color.

This is where the magic happens.

Owner swapped in a Swift GTI interior.  We assume the stock seats were less bolstered.

Wheel covers are so bad they’re good.

This is a 12th month of 1989 GEO SPRINT TURBO sold in Canada, very rare in the US. It runs good and is ready to drive anywhere—NO RUST—It is bone stock with the exception of the front and rear seats including door and rear side panels. A couple years ago I installed 1989 GTI interior because it was in very nice condition and has more style. I installed a new clutch kit about a year ago. I have many pix so dont be afraid to ask for more. I will accept 500 in my PayPal at close of auction and the rest upon pickup. NO RUST ON THIS CAR. I have included some pix of the bottom of this car. The rubberized part of the dash will need replaced as the Arizona sun has cracked it, check pix.
