Ruby Sue for sale/trade

[Moody]

I just got back in town today so Ruby Sue passed her road test with flying colors. That means she is now for sale. I am not in any rush to get rid of her and would like to see her go to someone who would take good care of her (maybe even fix the body issues?). From this board I would take $1400 (what I originally paid for her) and I am also interested in possibly trading for a Brat (or even and SVX now that Dave made me drive Princess).

1988 Subaru XT6 AWD 5spd
Some body damage/rust
Interior is near perfect (including dash trim)
Completely rebuilt motor
New rings
Toga racing bearings
Mizpah rebuilt lifters
RC Engineering cleaned and balanced injectors
Genuine Subaru gaskets throughout
New water pump
All new timing components (bearings, belts, oil filled tensioner)
Custom intake w/K&N cone
Stage 2 clutch
Deleted 2nd convertor w 2.5" back to a Magnaflow muffler
Stock rims (will not come with the Volks!) with good Falken 512's
Modified front spindles that accept Impreza struts and camber bolts
KYB AGX adjustable front struts, KYB GR2 rears
Ground control coilover kit w/ Eibach springs (350f/250r)
Clarion AM/FM/CD/MP3/USB head unit with semi-decent speakers

I just got done with a ~2000 mile trip around the eastern half of the country including the Dragon with her and had no problems. I will be changing over to synthetic oil now that the 3000 mile break-in is done on the motor.

Jim, I'm interested, but the cash is still a few weeks away. If someone else comes up with the cash 1st I'll be SOL, but if she's still hanging around I'll get with you then.

I can't afford her..but if someone from the group gets her and wants some help with the body work..I will volenteer ( gee I can't spell)....

[crazyhorse]

I can make her pretty again. Bodywork isn't too tough, considering I own a welder. It's a cheapie, but it works.
For the $$$ there's NO WAY I could do all those mods. RubySue may not be Frankenwedge, but I bet she'd give him a run for his money on The Dragon.

Go for it Paul!!! Get her...She is awesome..I actually said I never wanted another XT6 after the problems I have with mine..but something about Ruby Sue...if I had the money and didnt have the bastard XT6..I would jump all over her...get her!!

Definitely a sweet ride... 'course my pick would be Molly if she were up for sale.

Ruby Sue's engine alone is a prize. Not to mention her suspension and all the care that's gone into her in so many ways. That car is well worth the price. Off the board I wouldn't settle for less than 2 grand.

yeah that is a steal for sure. someone should jump all over that.

Dude if i had the money i would be arranging shipping right now lol

[richardsubiestanley]

I know i've seen it before, but do you have ne pics?
Ne idea what kind of hp boost you got from your mods?

[richardsubiestanley]

NM my last post, i thought i saw that you had custom cams

[Moody]

The timing/intake/exhaust probably add a bit of oomph under the hood. I have no idea how much, but she is definately quicker than Molly (bone stock w/~45k miles).

I have an interested buyer from Michigan...

[richardsubiestanley]

Nice! Wish i had the money to buy it, but as long as you sell it to someone who will love it
