“One of a Kind" VERY Reluctant Sale
*Recent price drop from $15,950 to allow for shipping costs*
Due to covid I had to return to Australia in 2020 and leave my passion project Brat in storage in Boulder, Colorado. It has been garaged for the past 5 years and was recently serviced in preparation for sale.
This Brat was purchased in January 2018 from a dealer for $12,000 in Texas and i was extremely happy to pay this given the clean body and minimal rust (small amount at corner of front windscreen). It has the coveted rear seats with headrests even though these didn't come stock on the production 86 model.
Since then it has had a small fortune spent on it to get it to this level. My severe financial loss will be somebody's gain (and it will be a severe loss). I hope someone gets the enjoyment out of it that I hoped i would. The car has no more than 500 miles on it under the new set up and is registered in Colorado with vintage plates (86BRAT).
