We must have bought from the same owner because that's the price I also paid for my 82T. And wow was it ever a project car! Smashed front end, oil leak city, grinding brakes. Prev owner hadn't changed the air filter in years. The filter itself was the color of used motor oil, the filter bottom actually sat in a pool of oil. With a dirty air filter like that, the engine struggles to pull air from wherever it can, particularly from the engine itself through the valve cover inlet hose. With this car, I discovered the hose connected to the valve cover was completely filled with hardened congealed oil to the point where it could no longer pass any air. Can you imagine how much oil the engine sucked through that hose, and for how long, for it to harden like that? I bought it because it could actually start considering the condition of the engine. That and the tranny was good. And I had also been driving a non T 900 of the same year from which I could pull parts to fix up the new "old" one. After many weeks of cleaning and repairs (still tweaking), it's now running quite well. With an all stock motor, plus the addition of an 87 intercooler, it now easily achieves 10 psi max boost. Just a few specks of rust on places where the paint chipped off. But that'll be taken care of next week when I have the entire car repainted.
