I love you guys. The best thing is in 2 years I have already met half of you (even you Doc).... too cool. Internet is amazing.

I was the #2 bidder; went to see the car but it was not for me. Mason was great. I went right to his house (got lucky-was speaking at Princeton University that night and made excellent time from Long Island to PU, so called Mason and went to see it).

No B.S., no hard sell.

Thats great to hear. Can you tell us anything about the car? The good points, the not so good points etc.

Thanks

10 footer on paint-mind you, I have a very critical eye, might be 3 footer for other; engine needs 1 injector-Mason said he'd take care of it, otherwise very sweet engine note once it was warmed up-at all revs; wheels look terrible in pictures but great on the car. Interior as described above.

I did not drive it because I knew it wasn't for me and didn't want to kill the clutch.

I think with an X-pipe, maybe turbo or supercharger or at least Porken chips and updated fuel pumps, this car would be a killer. It's not going to be concours but it will be a nice dd.

Nice car Mason. Someone will ****** it up. Someday I will own a 86.5 5spd, sunroof delete in a cool color combo. That is some ways off though. GLWS.

Curious about the p.s. fender. Looks like a paint blend over some bodywork. Are my eyes deceiving me?
The wheels are growing on me. The fronts would look better with the ride height dropped a bit.

Mike,
I disagree, the paint isn't rough. There is some blending that is fair, but the gloss is uniform throughout and the overall finish is good. "10 footer " is not accurate in any way. It's definately not a factory paint job, but it's not a 10 footer either. I appreciate the gesture that it may be a 3 footer for others..... you must have a really critical eye. The car will be at Hershey......if not sold by then

I have to pull her out of the garage and take some more shots, It could be dust, dirt, or a shadow.... or blending that itsn't good. I don't think it's paint....but I really don't recall.

As for the front suspension appearing to be too high- these shots were taken right after being on my lift....They don't settle down straight away.... Re: can't align a car properly unless it's driven some miles after lifting.
