FS: Red Mighty Boy f5a Gold Coast
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2011 9:42 pm
Hey there i have a 86 mighty boy for sale. It runs but has a blown head gasket. Well thats what i think it is... Haven't really had a proper look. It overheated on the way to uni and then i drove it home and it has sat there ever since. Could even be something minor like the thermostat but i don't have the time to work on it and i got another car. It has 161 000 k on the clock but had a full recon about 20 odd k ago (all paperwork available).
So the flaws are:
- the overheating issue
- oil leak from somewhere but again have not sussed it out
- most panels have some kind of ding in them
- bit of rust starting around the firewall (just needs a wire brush and rust inhibitor)
Upsides:
- fairly recent engine reco (i think about 20 000 ago. can't remember exactly
- aftermarket bucket seats (not sure what car they are from) with drivers side have full adjustability
- 3" rear alloy lowering blocks
- its a mighty boy!
I have attached a pick of it from about a year ago but will put a more recent one up as soon as i get time. I can't believe i'm finally parting with this as i love it to bits but i don't have the time, money or motivation to put fix it up.
So its far from being a pristine example of a mb but with a little tlc you'll have a nice little mb run around. Or a good project. Hit me up with some reasonable offers
