I going to be putting my 93 GTS up for sale shortly I want to replace it with my all time favorite, an 86.5 manual.

In a perfect world I would find somebody with a perfect car with low miles willing to trade his ride plus cash for my toy. I have a weakness for Meteor-metallic but am open to other colors.

 

This is pretty close to you, isn't it? Might get lucky with the .5, although '85 and '86.0 5-speeds are lighter = quicker.

There is one here in the PacNW for sale...86.5..white with black interior, no sunroof, engine rebuilt by Devek a few years back..overall in very good shape but I didn't do a total PPI on it. Not sure on how many miles he has on it..but he wants a lot though...$17Kish. It's listed in the new Panorama...

 

Thanks for the leads...

 

Found this surfing Craigslist. I know it has been posted and reposted several times.... 66K miles 86.5 5 speed

86.0 :-(

Some paint damage to the roof and stored last 5 years. $7500 seems a bit high.

 

Yep, Carl's 928. It looked very nice when I saw it at the Park Place gathering a couple of years ago. With no sunroof, its quite rare. I can't remember if it had rub strips, but I believe it does not. He told me that he looked for this car for 6 years before he bought it.

Here's Carl's email he sent to the pacnw928 list back in May:

86.5 rules

 

/\ /\ /\ /\ Wot he said.

Are they coming out of the woodwork? Or am I just noticing 5-speeds, now?

Here is a (86.0 manual in Jersey), but the lister thinks serial# below 1000 makes it a '86.5.

 

Shhhh!!! I haven't gotten mine yet.

 

86.5 owners, do you like your ABS?

 

They've been getting some recognition. I stumbled upon my 86.5 5 speed Meteor-metallic thru pure luck. A neighbor of mine was chatting that he had this car for sale he's had for a while tucked away. When he told me what it was, I was hooked. The rest is history. I didn't get to drive it much this summer due to the fact I'm in Dubai till December. When I get back I do have a few winter projects to complete and will enjoy next summers driving season. I love the OB style with the Gucci trimmings. She is a Canadian model with 125,000K KM.

 

Yes, works great.

 

My '86 had it too, but it is much better with the larger brakes.

As far as Meteor Metallic, I can take it or leave it, of course mine has bad paint so I'm a bit biased. Mine has 5 speed tranny with limited slip but instead of having the 2.20 rear end it was fitted with a '86 Euro final drive with 2.72. It also has Sport seats! Had a long hub steering wheel that I donated to Porken. It came with worn out koni shocks and sport springs. Since I've had it I have added a 930 Sport wheel, GTS shifter ****, H4 headlights, electric (spal) fans, an intake/vacuum line/breather line refurbish with a new water pump/timing belt and a bit of powder coating. Just need to finish it and put it on the road... then decide if I want to keep it or no...

 

Hmmm, very interesting...
