Maybe if that guy could spell.
That is a clean interior.
Points to the person who calls (has to call) and asks him for two if the price is gonna be that high.

I just wonder if it's that hard to rotate the camera 90*...?

That said, there could be a pretty clean car underneath that crappy photography. I wouldn't mind the side stripes that much of they were continuous (seems almost period correct. Not something I'd do, tho) but the port holes gotta go.

Is that much really considered that excessive? I mean, the fender vents certainly are dumb, and I'm not a fan of the ghetto aftermarket shifter boot. It also looks like he's missing the center dash vent, and those wheels probably weren't original since they probably wouldn't have been GOLD with a silver car... but other than that, if it's fairly low mileage and otherwise immaculate, would it not be worth up to $5,000?

Just curious... because with all the time and money I've spent fixing up my 1984 Porsche 944, I'm probably going to end up being close to that amount. I paid $1,200 for my 944, and already spent anotehr $1,200 completely re-doing the entire interior as well as numerous mechanical parts, a new front spoiler, and all the tune-up parts. I'll probably want to get a decent $1,500 paint job to clean up the faded black paint I have now...

There's no rust and it's got about 80k miles... that would put me close to about $4,000 heheh....

Oh well...

interior looks nice, not diggin the boot though.

those vents ACTUALLY don't look that awful. unneccessary yes, but not as bad as some of the other things weve seen.

i like the wheels.

5000 sounds about right for an early if it was pefect concours condition...I don't think this one is. I don't think mine (as well kept as it was and as well as I've tried to maintain it) would collect 5000.

Spencer, you like the wheels because you've got gold BBS ones already.

I really like those wheels especially if the center caps where painted black instead of gold.

That's a very nice looking car inside and out, except for those squares on the fenders ( ). Still, rarely are NAs worth more than $3500.
