Default Finally......I don't know why I waited so long

Purchased a 1988 3.2 Coupe last week. Thanks to everyone who helped with my questions during the PPI portion of the buy

Marine Blue over a light Grey interior
105K miles
Paint is a 8 to 9 out 10, a few stone chips up front is about it.
Interior is good for its age but in need of attention.
Has the SSI/Dansk set up for exhaust
Recent valves adj, new clutch, starter and Trans rebuild
Motor has not been worked on but had ok PPI.

The car came with lots of records, original books with service stamps and not the least of which the original window sticker. I had know idea these cars were so expensive back in 88. This one sold new in Austin TX.

I'm sure I will have lots of questions in the coming weeks and months

Mike

Congrats on your new acquisition! I'm a fellow Marine Blue owner as well. It's a fairly rare color seen mostly on '87-89 models.

Wow! Nice acquisition! A good interior detailing may go along way in bringing some life back to it.

Beautiful car, love the color. Welcome and there is no better way to get to know the ins and outs of your car than by driving it every chance you can!

Mike,

Welcome and congrats! Your car looks to be in fantastic condition.

The color is very similar to my Venetian Blue - I first thought it was venetian when I saw your pics. I have not seen too many blues in the 3.2, mostly red, black, and white.

I've had my car for about a year and a half, lots of great information in the archives on this list and others.

Enjoy it!

Mike,
First, congrats; it looks like a real winner. Thanks for posting your window sticker; I doubt that I am the only person trying to figure what his cost. I have a suggestion for your photos: force your flash. I have Venetian Blue, and about the only way to see the color is to get more light on it.
