Car description

Untitled Document - 1987 Isuzu Impulse Turbo Special Edition - With a heavy heart. I am posting my rare 1987 Isuzu Impulse Turbo Special Edition up for sale. Currently. the car sits with 65. XX original miles. in dry Reno. NV. I am the second owner of the car. which came to me from Arizona in August of 2010. Since taking ownership. I have given the car a full mechanical refresh. which included pulling. inspecting and resealing the 4ZC1-T motor as well as cleaning. restoring and replacing as much as I could with OEM parts. The motor was gone through by a professional machine shop here in Reno. and since completing the mechanical restore in 2012. I have had no issues with it. In September of 2013. the Impulse took home the "Neo Classic Magazine" award at the 9th annual Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach California. It subsequently went on to be featured in Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car. July 2014 Issue. Current condition: The car has newer Kumho tires with lots of tread left. The original Isuzu special edition white wheels are also included and in excellent shape with NOS center caps all around. All the paint is original with only a few minor dings here and there. There is one spot where the hatch has rubbed the paint raw (see photos) but can easily be touched up. There is some sun fading on the spoiler and bumpers. The power windows work fine as well as all the in dash mechanisms. The interior is 99% intact. however time has taken it's toll on a few of the interior plastic trim pieces. The original radio was replaced with a Pioneer head unit. but the original radio will be included in the sale. All the seats and upholstery are very nice condition. with no stains. rips or tears. The car has a 100% non-smoking history. The original floor mats are both present and intact. The headliner is intact but has a few marks (see photos). The original spare is present. as well as the original cargo cover. The car was equipped with a Bazooka sub-woofer. which is still present in the cargo hold. During the restore. the aircon was deleted to clear up engine bay space and lighten the load on the motor. The paint has been clayed. polished and waxed at least twice since I have owned it. The motor runs strong and the turbo really pulls hard between 2000 and 3500 RPMs for lots of rear wheel drive fun! Things that should be addressed: The power steering is beginning to whine when cold. Most likely it needs to be drained and refilled. and possibly the pulley and pump could be replaced. There is a drip from the output shaft of the 5-speed transmission. A new seal should fix this. Although I have no issues with it. the cat and muffler are original and could probably be replaced. The following is a list of what was replaced/restored during the recent refresh: - Professionally remanufactured IHI OEM turbo - Complete OEM Engine gasket set - OEM Coolant Intake pipe - New KYB Shocks all around - New Rear Springs - New Moog Ball Joints and Tie Rod ends - All new vacuum lines - NOS Isuzu OEM Fuel Injectors - New OEM Isuzu Timing belt. tensioner. water pump - New OEM Isuzu clutch - New Radiator - New Fuel Pressure Regulator -New OEM fuel filter - Complete set of OEM Isuzu brake pads - New calipers and brake rotors - New hatch pistons - Optima Red Top battery - New Accel Ignition Coil - Fuel tank dropped. drained. cleaned and pump replaced All of the below items are included with the sale of the car: - 1987 Isuzu Impulse OEM Service Manual - Rare Isuzu Impulse promotional plush toy - Original key plus a spare - Copy of Hemming Sports and Exotic Car.
