Default 1985 S, with 12k original miles, no affliation

I can't believe this wasn't plastered all over this board yesterday when it hit... I have talked to the owner and it is the REAL deal, with all belts, gaskets top and bottom, and pumps done, ac was converted to current specs.

I want this very badly , but I don't have room, and I don't want to sell anything I have, so a Rennlister needs this car.... Somebody hop on it.

The owner had a good offer from a 24 year old in the area, but didn't like his comments about driving the heck out of it, so he didn't sell it too him, guys this is the barn find, kinda... LOL

Wow...imagine the amount of will power not to drive that car. Like stepping back to 85. Talk about a poor investment...probably spent 60k on it and 23 years later only worth 1/3 that (not to mention the $ to refresh seals and a/c)

A tool that you do not USE has little purpose.

The 4 spoke wheel might LOOK like an airbag to some...

Don't mind Jim. He is the resident pesimist.

Somehow it seems a bit like having a really good looking, hot girlfriend and all you do is look at her .... And I prefer to think of my self as a Realist

Exactly. It's kind of pointless if you don't put it through its paces from time to time.

If I had that car, I'd drive the **** out of it.

I think he was referring to the description of Installed Options, the first item listed is "Drivers air bag"
