Description:

This is a very limited production vehicle, this is not a kit car! This will be titled as a Mosler Consulier! We have gone through the vehicle and most wear items have been replaced along with all fluids personally by our Staff. The car Shows extremely well for its age and honestly can be driven anywhere. It has brand new Tires and Suspension Components. T-Tops are functional and do come off with ease. This Consulier is a Piece of Automotive history.
The Consulier was widely criticized for its appearance, but it was highly successful in racing. The Consulier GTP competed successfully in many races, before being banned by the sanctioning body IMSA in 1991. There were a total off 100 Units Produced from 1985-1993, and this is one of the best examples we have seen to date!!!!!


Exterior:
The exterior shows very well, and still retains the factory paint. It does have a wavy appearance due to the materials used in production (and this is a known issue). This Car really does grow on you, and the amount of looks and questions you get will have your head spinning!! There are several imperfections on the front bumper and we have taken the liberty of pointing them out in our High Resolution gallery.

Mechanics:
This Mosler Drives as it should, no overheating issues, and or funny sounds, It only has a staggering 11,288 miles. 0-60 times are in the 5 second range, and 1/4 mile times are high high 13s.
Transmission shifts as it should, reverse works perfectly. The suspension is over 20 years old, but it actually feels very tight. Brakes are original and work fine, we did not have to update anything there.

Brand New:
Tires
Sway-Bar End Links
Distributor
Fuel filters
Fuel Pump
Plugs/Wires
Battery
All Fluids



Key Points:
-Its a Mosler (Super Rare)
-No Headunit (all other components are there)
-Scuff on front bumper (look at pictures)

Interesting, never heard of this car before and it does look like a kit car but very cool. Cheers as it would be fun to drive.

I remember Mosler from their race cars back in the day...this is pretty toned down from some of their efforts (some versions of the Consulier had a split windshield) but still violently ugly...

It looks like something I would expect to see on Speed Racer and have machine guns pop out of.

Why buy this one when I can build my own out of the J.C. Whitney catalog?

Wickedly ugly, but this was quite the street legal race car during its day. Got quite a bit of press in C/D and R&T, if I recall correctly.
