I like the color. But for $33,000 I'd think that would come with a front and rear spoiler.

I know the car and the owner. I know what he paid for it a few years ago and while I won't disclose details, nothing done to the car warrants a doubling of the price.

I'll watch this with interest as I have a red 86.5 with even less miles and wasn't planning on listing it for that much. Maybe I should for the engine work that I did.

Sounds like he bought it for half price and is now looking to sell it for the real value. I say the pricing is perfect and look forward to the sale helping these cars to reach their true market value.

On the other hand we can monitor all web sites and do our best to keep the values down, by discouraging any buyer to pay asking prices, for whatever purpose that may serve us.

Hope he gets that price... but I doubt he will.

Imagine the black interior doesn't compliment the exterior color as well as a more contrasting color would, at least in the pics it doesn't seem too.

Dash looks like the car has spent many days outside.

I have seen better example for much, much less.

You can clearly see the dash leather pulled away from the defroster vents and will need to be recovered - a huge job.

Yep, you are right, and I can say that the only job I did on the car was the fuel pump.

Ordered spoiler delete, but with rub strips. Hmm. It is a beautiful car but I think the owner is being rather optimistic on the pricing for the current market.

As we all know it's only worth what a willing and able buyer wants to pay for it. Given enough time and patience, this one might fetch 15 or 18K... then again you never know when an under informed guy with money might come along. I happen to like that color of blue on the old body style!

"Only the best collector" would want the front spoiler with ducts to his front brakes, and a lot more for this price. Why do the fog light bezels fit so poorly? Could be they all warp w/age. When he runs out of crack the price will drop at a rate in proportion to his desperation.
