What's the background on the car? How many miles? You have the best color combo in my opinion.

Two owners. Last owner was an older couple that decided that getting in and out was too much of a hassle. Purchased it with 106,517 miles and I've loved the few hundred that I've already added! And for me, yep, I really, really like this color combo!

I love these cars

A few years with mine and i still smile at it when i look at it, also makes me grin ear to ear when i have it on the road.

The miles you may have some things to do, wheel bearings, flush the brake fluid if it's not clear, u joints, and pay close attention to the bushings in the suspension.

Also early years and the rack and pinion, if you have a cooler it should be good, but check that fluid, might be a good idea for fresh fluids all the way around.

Default Great choice!! Congrats!!

I love these cars. I have two 1987's a baseline and an RPO B2K Callaway Twin Turbo. Both are drivers, but the baseline is the "road dog." I'd drive her anywhere

And now, I am a proud owner.

FINALLY!



And I've STILL not stopped grinning!



My oh my, first ride home and it was a beaut! Stopped off for some snacks. And, um, a few pics... LOVE IT!





I love - LOVE - the way it looks!



And my, is it a joy to drive!







Fits me sooooo nicely! YES!



Not a rip or tear to be found on the leather!
