How can we resist posting a Merkur XR4Ti two-fer? Car #1 is largely stock and claims to run. Car #2 is sorta-kinda a track car, at least in that it has harnesses, fire extinguisher and some somewhat-described mods.
How can we beat this quote? “She drivers actually good and wants to driver fast for some reason, and the turbo is sweet.”

About the cars. I am selling two of my dad’s Merkur Xr$ti’s. The White One is basically a stock vehicle. Mostly everything works, the lighted dash is obviously finicky. The A/C is out, but will include a new Rapido rebuilt compressor. The Antenna winds up but haven’t gotten reception on the radio with it very well, the Sony CD player works. The interior is clean and decent, on the drivers seat there are a few rips which you can see on the pics. The dash has a few cracks but is covered by the fabric dash cover that is attached. Has nice rubber FloorMats. My dad told me he put a T9 transmission in it, and a mod to have the fan turn on at the flip of a switch. Have recently replaced HVAC Heater Control Valve, Master Brake Cylinder, New front brake pads, Water Coolant Reservoir, and a new clutch spring. Also, a mechanic friend installed a Garrett Turbo charger that is whisper quiet.
She drivers actually good and wants to driver fast for some reason, and the turbo is sweet. You would be the third owner for my dad purchased her with 91k which was over 15 years ago, and have all the maintenance receipts for it. She currently has 120967.
The Silver Car was the car that started his Merkur craze, so it has been thru its incarnations, from commuter to track racer to pepped up street car. I can’t begin to list all the items that have been done to this car, it would be a book. But is does have a Lowered and Angled front suspension, 3″ turbo and exhaust, intercooler, t9 tranny, completely rebuilt engine with only 7466 miles on it. The interior is as a best description would be functional. There are some weird electrical issues and requires a push button start mod to get the car started. The best part is the engine.
She started making some tranny noises so she’s out of commission, and will need to be trailered or towed. There are lots of spare parts that will be included if the buyer wishes, like the 3″ catalytic converter, spare rims and tires, rear differential, intercooler see pics.

Additional notes:
Sorry But an ebay member has informed me that the vehicle is a 1985 Merkur and he is right. The White Merkur is a 1985 model. I am unable to change the title description. Sorry for the mistake.
