1989 Beretta Base Michigan

[jking18]

Hi everyone. My name is Josh and I live in South Haven, MI. My Beretta was bought back in 89' from Denooyer Brothers Inc in Kalamazoo, MI. It is a Base model with the 2.8 Multiport and 3 speed auto Transmission. When I bought the car it had 77,770 miles on it. I paid $1,500 and I am the second owner. Pictures are on my Photobucket account: http://s1220.photobucket.com/home/Berettagt89

For some reason I feel like i'm missing something.
I will be adding the prices of these parts later when I find them out. Most of the prices are from the LKQ yard. Any thoughts?

Nice looking base! A true survivor! I sell used parts for a living, and most of my sales are by request! If you want me to source any of the parts in your list let me know via PM and we can come up with a price and a timeline! Some things I may already have! Welcome, and hope to see you at Bfest 2012!!!

That would be cool. I just thought of one other things I was missing........the various fluids the engine and transmission uses and some of the tools I am missing. Where is Wisconsin Rapids? Will you have to go through the UP to get to Traverse City or around the lake?
edit: Could you find a quad 4 throttle box? I havent even heard of one of those until I saw the swap thread.

Getting away from the swap for a second gave me a chance to upload this....

Its what the previous owner gave me along with the keys.

That is a very clean car, especially being from MI. I'm originally from Holt, MI (as is my Z26). Welcome aboard, and feel free to ask questions if you need anything. Hope to see new faces at BFest 2012!

[snowblindburd]

Welcome to the Board. Glad to see another MI Beretta Owner!

[jking18]

Thanks. I love this color because I havent seen any berettas yet with the same original color. What color is your beretta?

[Robert 89gt]

Car looks amazing very clean.Nice and simple too no chrome rims or stickers all over your windows.lol
I wouldn't spend 3 hundred on a engine.Find one with really low miles the less the better.I found mine 4 years ago for 750 with 22xxx miles.They even dropped it off for me at the shop=)
