Two Milanos for sale - ratty and cheap



Both tired, both cheap.  Both are '87's, 5 spds, and silver (color), one is
a Silver and the other a Platinum.  

The Silver is probably the most viable of the two as it has a better body -
very straight with rust repair necessary in the rear wheel arches.  The
interior is OK in general, needing a cleanup and a new cover on the
driver's seat.  It does not run - no spark, but only has approx 66K miles
indicated. The timing belt is intact and most electricals appear to work. 
Condition of other mechanicals unknown.

The Platinum does run, albeit very poorly - on 5 cyl.  I suspect a bad
valve.  She smokes a good bit, too and has 138K miles.  The gearbox works
well - all 5 gears and reverse engage and pull the car down the road
without difficulty.  It's got a bad wheel bearing in the rear, but
otherwise, the suspension feels OK, up to 40 mph, at least.  The timing
belt is wet (apparent cam seal), so I only drove the car long enough to
determine what worked and what didn't.  The sunroof opens and closes, the
ABS appears operational, and the gauges work.  The electric seats, windows,
and locks work for the most part as well.  The body is poor and the
interior sloppy, but not beyond restoration. The front has taken a minor
shunt, messing up the bumper / grille, and cracking the lights, but the
hood and front fenders are fine.  The doors are all OK, too.  The car also
got clobbered on the right rear, macerating the rear quarter (which has
since rotted), and bumper, tho' the rear lights and trunklid are OK.  All
glass is present and OK.  

A spare ECU, engine wiring harness, radio console, and speedo sender go
with the cars.

$1,000 for the pair, located on eastern Long Island, NY.
