I am selling my Beretta INDY

[jpuetz]

For sale I have my 1990 Chevrolet Beretta Indy asking $1800 O.B.O. this car is pretty rare especially these days as far as I know they only made about 12,000 of these cars of this model and that was 21 years ago I think I have only seen 1 or 2 other ones on the road in the time I have been driving it. This car has the 3.1L V6 and the 5 Speed manual transmission it has power everything as far as I know the only options this car doesn't have that were available at the time it was built is the sunroof and the digital gauge cluster which is a plus in my opinion as many problems as they had. The odometer on the car says 213,000 miles on it but the engine was rebuilt at 207,839 miles and the transmission was rebuilt at 210,300 miles. Since I bought the car I have replaced pretty much everything other than the interior. I replaced all 4 struts with KYB GR2 gas struts, Eibach lowering springs, the car has the high performance heavy duty sway bar I changed the sway bar bushings and installed energy suspension polyurethane ones, Napa premium sway bar end links, Moog ball joints and most of the other suspension components. Last spring I completely rebuilt the engine including having the block and crankshaft machined and the heads checked out and a valve job done, I had the block bored .020 over and installed brand new over sized aluminum pistons, and a Crane Cams camshaft and lifter kit which is about .018 larger than stock. I had the transmission rebuilt at Martin Transmission in Otsego last summer. The car has virtually no rust on it the only rust I can see on the car is right in the rocker panels at the front edge of the door jams wear it has been completely rusted out on every other beretta I have seen on this one the rust is just barely starting to bubble up into the paint, the only other rust I really found on the car was the floorpan was rusting so I took the interior out and sanded down the entire floorpan and primed and undercoated it. I had the body of the car sanded and repainted last year right now it does not have the factory Indy decals on it however I do have pictures and measurements of them so new ones can be printed. I also have reciepts for every thing I have done to the car there is much much more I have done than what I can put on here. The downside is there is an intermittent problem with the car which will cause it to not run properly sometimes when it does this it almost sounds like the engine is running off time and smells like it is running very rich, I have not been unable to figure out what the problem is I have changed every sensor on the motor as well as the ECM and it still does this from time to time. My best guess is that there is an intermittent short or some other sort of intermittent electrical problem in the wiring harness as the problem only started after I stored the car for awhile when the motor first started having issues before I rebuilt it.

Sad. How much?

[jpuetz]

I am asking $2000 or whatever I can get for it right now I am so sick of messing with it all the time that I just want to get rid of it to pay for my motorcycle

[Money pit Beretta]

Damn good price. I'd be crazy to even think about buying this car. So, I am thinking about it. Where are you at?

[2.2H8TA]

Hows the dash in this indy? I see no pics of it.

[jpuetz]

the dash is shot as it is on most berettas don't know how that missed all the pictures I am in Otsego Michigan right near the US-131 motorsports park get ahold of me privately if you want an exact address. I also forgot to mention that i have a pair of extra side mirrors and an extra front valance and i have the dash badge that is not in the car that will be included in the sale i might have some more misc. parts that i am forgetting about i also have an extra set of color matched aluminum rims that aren't in very good shape that i can throw in for a little extra otherwise i am going to sell them for scrap metal

[SuzukiGhostRider]

Nice car at a good price! GLWTS!

[Money pit Beretta]

I am crazy, I want you car bad. But...my base needs too much and I just have to let yet another dream die. Hope that it's sold to someone who will care for it.

[jpuetz]

yeah it is a great car in good shape with almost no rust if it wasnt for the running issue i would never be selling it i have just dumped way too much money into trying to make it run right and it is annoying me so much that it still wont that i just have to get rid of it

[indyyellow]

I did not know the Indy models came with a 5 sp.

[jpuetz]

yeah they did it is basically the same powertrain as the newer gt's

[Money pit Beretta]

Wish you could have found the problem.

I had this happen to my 88 gtu and it ended up being a bad injector, just a thought. Looks like a nice car and its a 5 speed that makes it a lot better...

[rettagurl]

Being from Michigan and a car with over 200k how is the rust?

[jpuetz]

i have changed the injectors in this car once though i did just throw in a set of used ones i had laying around. there is almost no rust on this car it is not originally from michigan and has only actually been driven in a michigan winter once that i know of
