For those of you who don't believe that Wayne and I found the elusive euro OB with half Pasha interior . That's Wayne checking the finish on his shoes through the rusted out battery box
Ha Thom - so it does indeed exist! We figured it somewhere near Philly since we never saw it, even driving all the way to the car wash, especially when Pete said it "was just up the road" from the motel
Anthony: Saw your car, very unique; I took come details, here is one. The other is a last minute shot as people were packing up. Sorry I cut Geza's car and most of Rick's '84 out.

I spotted that on the way out on Sunday. I didn't stop though.
I think Ed spent some time talking to the seller. If I got the story straight: It was owned by a doctor who put the miles on it in the first ten or so years after purchase. Then his health failed and it was parked for many years. The seller got it from his estate and did a mild cleaning and refresh (I heard him say something about new injectors and a mild cleaning of the motor). The ask was almost $30k. It's a beautiful car, and the interior is a color I've never seen before. Sort of a gray-green.
Nice car. Same color as mine, better interior than mine, now I'm thinking about how to remove the side door pinstripes/guards/whatever without damaging the paint. One is missing, clean that and the door up and it might look as good :-)
I looked over this car and talked to the owner for a long time. This is a time capsule car that to me is well worth what he was asking. Everything was in excellent condition. But, could have been cleaned up a little more. especially the engine. A good detail and this car would be perfect. Low miles but not too low, that you shouldn't drive it. Very unusual color combination. The Gray-Green is pretty rare. I love that color! Exterior color was special order for that year. Not sure about that though.
I don't think he did the fuel lines. That's important. He did all the other important maintenance items. He started it up and it sounded beautiful. Very smooth idle.
Cool old original Blaupunkt Monterey SQR 23 radio and equalizer. Don't know if they work or not.
Needs a new headliner and the air filter reversed (after buying a new one)
Wheels were in excellent shape and had the wheel locks.
8" H4 headlights.. I think
I would buy this car in a second, if I had the money.
I talked to him a bunch and got a test drive. The temp and fuel gauges are inop with a red warning illuminated below those gauges, that cool radio doesn't work, he says the sunroof needs attention, but the car drove well and the AC even appears to work. I missed any issues with the headliner...what was wrong there? Overall I thought it was a super honest car that just needs a few repairs and some miles put on her to bring her back to life. I thought the ask was fair...

I concur with everything Rick said. It is a great looking car with a lot of the hard/expensive stuff now done. The owner is an American Muscle guy, which is why he does not drive it and is selling it. I think it is fairly priced, but I'd try to get him down a little bit, based on the cluster work needed and the few other things. Start at $25K and go form there, meeting somewhere in between. It is a pretty special looking car.
Very clean, he said it sat for 20? years, in a heated environment. I would be concerned about the head gaskets as I think that means the coolant was not changed. It was changed recently when he acquired it and did the other work.
