1992 LS-L 4.44 swap in Oregon. Needs radiator.

[Leiavoia]

TL;DR: Upgraded 4.44-swap AWD 1992, needs new radiator and a good home.

I have loved this car since I got it, but now i must sadly let it go. I cannot get parts for it or take care of it any longer. I want to find a good home for it.

The car is in generally good shape, so ideally i want the buyer to get it into working condition again instead of parting it out. Immediately it needs a radiator replacement or stop-gap fix. The radiator body cracked and does not hold fluid very long. I have not been able to source a replacement and i don't have the skills or facilities to do custom fabrication. If you want to clean up an SVX to drive around, this is a very good unit to start with.

Buyer will need to come and get it. I cannot drive it more than 2 miles. It should be towed.

Comments about the car: This car had a custom 4.44 transmission swap in 2008 performed by John Subaru in Gaston, Oregon. Drive train is in pretty good shape. Should be pretty nice vehicle if you can solve the radiator issue. Only two major owners. Was a secondary vehicle for the first owner. Car was sold when original transmission failed. Second owner rebuilt transmission and resold it to me. I have owned it since 2006 and kept it up. Car had one minor fender-bender but no other collisions. Tags on car are currently expired. Has not been driven in one year.
