Well, I have been looking for some time now and have finally found the one. A fellow Rennlister purchased a 91 GT and did not have the room for both. Being the nice guy that I am, I happily took the 86.5 off his hands.

I am flying to Florida tomorrow morning to pick her up and then drive back to SC, about 11 hrs. Hopefully, everything will go well.

Anyway, here are some pics the PO sent me. I'll post more when I get home. (hope the links work).

Nice find. Looks very clean.
Keep your eyes pealed for some 8 inch Bosch euro headlamps.

Good Luck

Beautiful car Chris. It gives my '85 a run for its money...and then some since it's an 86.5.

You'll love it.

Nice buy! You're gonna have fun on the way home, but even more fun later, once you've gotten to know the car. Welcome to the mix!

Nice looking car. I remember the thread about those side badges. To whom did this car belong?

OpusX67

Fabio, car belongs to me and will be real sad to see her goes today. PO put on side badge stickers. I'm not too fond of them but they're on pretty good. Can't see a way of taking them off without damaging the paint.

Kiet,
no way-those are my old wheels?.

Glad to see they still look awesome.

thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I got home with her earlier this afternoon and all I can say is WOW, this is one fine auto!

The 12 hr drive gave me some time to get to know her, here is what I found: First, this is a great example and I look forward to ownership; second, it is the coolest car in town. Third, MUCH more power than the Accord. Look out!

A couple of questions, the voltometer shows just over 12 and just under 12 with the headlights on. Does this mean I need to start cleaning fuses and ground points? If I remember correctly, shouldn't it read around 13?

Also, when I got caught in construction traffic, I noticed it would stumble/hesitate under low throttle.. clears up with a little more gas. Idle was poor as well. These issues were not present earlier in the day until after I filled up. Could have been bad gas, but with 2 full tanks of BP, it is still doing it. Could it be the fuel filter? Any thoughts?

Any way, I look forward to learning and hopefuly contributing as well.
