The Saturn Ion Redline is a kind of vehicles that you just marvel why they constructed. The quad-coupe Ion itself, full with an uncommon set of doorways and polarizing styling, is a wierd automobile to start with. Then, any person determined it was a good suggestion so as to add a supercharger, a limited-slip differential, and a number of different goodies. Relatively unsurprisingly, not many have been made, and so they’re very uncommon at the moment. One mint-condition instance is on the market in Illinois, although. It could be the cleanest one left in existence.

The Ion Redline is actually only a unusual taste of the supercharged Cobalt SS, which offered in a lot larger numbers and later spawned a turbocharged model. There was by no means a turbocharged Ion Redline, although, simply the 205-horsepower supercharged mannequin which ended manufacturing in 2007.

This specific instance was certainly one of simply 554 inbuilt its last mannequin yr, and it is obtained the competitors bundle. Meaning 17-inch alloy wheels, a lift gauge on the steering column, and the aforementioned limited-slip diff. Reality be advised, the Ion Redline Quad coupe weighs underneath 3,000 kilos, so it is really a reasonably nimble little automobile.

Plenty of Ion Redlines have worn out Teflon on the lobes of their superchargers, which limits enhance. That is unlikely to be the case with this mannequin, because it has simply 23,000 miles on the odometer. The promoting vendor is asking $19,800 for this automobile, which is quite a bit. That being stated, it is one of the best situation Ion Redline I’ve personally ever seen, having shopped round for them earlier than. Most of them are fairly beat.

So if you need a minty instance of one of many strangest efficiency vehicles inbuilt current reminiscence, that is your likelihood. You will, on the very least, be driving a special sort of automobile, made by a special sort of automobile firm.
