'86.5 US model 1134. Probably made in November '85. '87 MY would be H when '86 is G.

VIN clearly indicates it's '86 MY. Either VIN is wrong or bumbers are changed. Engine must be early style 32V with wide intake.

1134 is close to 2000 cars too old to be really late '86 MY which in theory could be like S4. But even this would be stretch as such beast hasn't been found yet.

Edit: Too old obviously.

I'm waiting for other pictures they show an S-4 rear style but the mech says the intake runners touch the intake. Did the 86.5 have a spoiler and an S-4 rear or is this a after market job?

All the S models looked the same, all the way till the end of '86 (86.5 included). The difference was, in the engine in '85 (32V) and in '86.5 (starting VIN # 1000 and up) the suspension, brakes and cat back were changed to resemble the S4 setup. BUT the exterior did not change till ’87.

Not enough info yet to give a good estimate. What about interior pics and engine pics. Whats the maintenance history?

Default I thought it looked familiar.....

I smell fish.
Are you seeing this down in Fla? Because it's been on Balto. Craigslist for the last month or so. Looks like PA plates. The guy has actually gone up in his asking price. Pretty weird. I guess his title description says it all
On a somewhat related note, there's an '88 speed whole or for parts in the DC Craigslist that looks interesting.
