Feel free to tell me I'm off base here, but I feel like in this day and age there is really no excuse for photos of the level of quality in this listing. My Motorola Razr took better pictures than this and that was like 10 years ago. A $20 digital camera at Wal-Mart - or a disposable camera for that matter - could do better than this.

Sorry, just ranting... lol

Seems like the same group of rust-finds keep getting passed around?

Cool parts. Wolfrace wheels. Charming car in it's own right.

Price lowered to $7,500. It's starting to look like a good deal.

I wonder if you can see the ground if you lift the floor mats?

Csi in ct

Hello, I got to be the first to see this beauty. And as far as a project goes, the car is extremely complete. It isn't missing a single part from what I can tell. The inside is in very good condition for what it is. The floors, trunk, rockers and towers all seem to be in tact. Quite good in fact. Originally that green taiga color, with black inside leather. Rear power windows and a manual sunroof (which work) . Doors shut and open nice. I don't need another project, but I bought it anyway. Motor seems to be locked up. Slight chance of a locked starter because the ignition is definitely funny and could have fried the starter at One time. The process begins. All trim is decent or better, rubber weather strips are good, bumpers are excellent. There is some body rot on fender top and lower door etc. fred

Thanks for the welcome and the encouragement. My car is already on the forum by previous owner. Vin # 4341294. So that's the coupe. Now if that engine frees up I'm good to go. Fred

Well, I have been away from the car for a week on vacation. I have the cylinders soaking in penetrating oil. If its still stuck when I get back. I will try to free it up by splicing the heater hoses into a running car. In hopes that the hot water from the running car will heat the frozen piston ring enough to budge it with a breaker bar. Fingers crossed. Pics when I am back at Internet. Fred.
