I don't get the late rear spoiler on early cars. They don't look right with the body lines. And what's the deal with the right height, the back end is jacked up like a 69 Roadrunner!

great looking car with rare colors,and the 5 speed
the ride height is too low in the front and too high in the rear,
not sure whats going on here, BUT I would check the engine for damage to Alt and AC due to low ride height

I thought stickers at first but on second look appear to be D90 with brake dust shields behind.

Updated headlights. The rake and spoiler are definite warning signs. Interesting that intake finish looks decent, clamps too, but the tubes were replaced with...whatever that ducting is.

500 miles last six years or so...maybe someone was saving up for timing belt.

So its got dove grey and mocha brown descriptions...wondering whether it isn't another grey-green one...

Good luck with price point. This one already has nice wheels and steering wheel.

No jump post cover...

Rare color and a 5 speed, but a crack pipe asking price...

I think this car is an 86.5 not an 85 as it's almost identical to my car. If I am not mistaken
the serial number is 092 which I believe the 2 puts in the 86.5 category. I'm always suspect, not only about the jump post cover but a well maintained car would not have odd intakes held together with hose clamps.

Overpriced for the overlooked details especially hood alignment.
