Default WTB - 1986 Euro
Looking for a decent 1986 Euro, preferably a manual. I have entertained some 1985 models but want a 1986. I know there are not many around but I thought I would see if anyone has a lead.

Thanks!

Yes a very, very rare car in the U S since the 1985 USA featured the 5 liter 32 valve engines greatly reducing the allure of the Euro 4.7 S .... especially hard to find a 5 speed. Good luck finding one.

Humm.. I know of a Silver / Black manual, w/ low(low) millage, it's an 85, has Club Sport rims

Really nice, no dash cracks etc. but it won't be cheep as this is not a "project" car.

Well I couldn't decide between the two so I went with both! I will look for the Euro now and build the shop in the spring. However, I will probably give up on shopping for a GTS for awhile....maybe.
Thanks Tony

Something like 42 86 Euro's turned up in the big vin search a couple years ago. All that I have found turned out to be the low compression Euro smog version with less power. On the good side all 86 Euros have the "86.5" upgraded suspensions and brakes. Best way to find one, especially a nice one, might be to import from Japan or EU.

Can't be too many Silver '85 Euros with 36k. Is the owner a Rennlister?
