That has to be the best deal ever. An 89 for $3k.
Go John Go.
Keep us updated on the condition please.

cobalt blue 89? I thought that's an oxymoron, as cobalt blue was introduced in 91. Is this a color change?

John, I have a new mop and bucket if you need any paint work done.
I see that you are giving Roger a run for his money. I guess I will have to step up and, as Roger says, "buy just one more".........

At that price, even if it has been painted with 10x $.99 Cobalt Blue paint can, who cares? You can always part is out and make 2-3x that money.

Just talked with John on his way back to TX.
Car is in great condition and has some nice options such as Raff leather and 220 - LSD.
What a great catch.
Well done John.
