Looks in much better shape than the one I'm in the process of restoring for a customer.

Glad is was not a manual - the 3 speed auto is way better then the crappy 5 speed slop box.

Post has been deleted, meaning it was sold or he will add a leading digit to the price and repost, lol. I had a few autos and one 5 speed, 5 speed is the only way to go.

Roger,

My DD is an automatic, so rowing the gears on weekends would be to my liking.

And OH boy do you have to row, grind, crunch, swear and cuss. Worst manual gearbox I have ever had the pleasure to drive.

You might want to give yourself a call on the house extension and order a lizard shifter and new bushings

Pics... The car is in pretty good condition, and I believe all of the paint to be original. Paint is far from perfect, but I'd rather have original paint in this condition than a poorly done Maako repaint anyday. The rub strips on the passenger side need to be repainted, and a few areas need some touch up, but overall it is pretty good for 31 year old paint. Interior is also relatively good. There is some leather shrinkage around the defroster vents and the rear quarters, but otherwise just needs a major cleaning and conditioning. Car is at the Digital Chassis in Durham getting new tires.

History: The previous owner has only owned the car for a couple of months. He bought it from the second owner's widow, who rarely drove the car following her husband's death in 2007. The original owner was apparently a doctor who drove the car daily until 1986, when he sold it to the second owner. Car appears to have been garaged until recently, perhaps past 3 years or so outside. I was told that when the car wasn't garaged, it was covered.
