Default Unusual 87 For Sale in Houston Craigslist
Aero mirrors, no rub-strips, manual transmission, and is it just me or does it look like GTS flares? Maybe they got the year wrong or are using a stock photo????

The pic is definitely of a GTS. The VIN is for an 87.

...or a scam, where the 'seller' is using someone else's car to photograph. They take the deposit and run.

It certainly looks like my car before I removed the rear wing and side marker lights.
Same Kinesis wheels.
