Hi GF,
The car certainly is striking in the photographs.
I wonder what the engine is currently and why there's no photos of the engine compartment and chassis.
The 2 trophies are from 1989 and 1990.
Also wondering about the 'TPFLIGHT" plate. If it's a Top Flight Award car it could probably be taken even more seriously.
Trim missing from the interior door panels??
Do YOU like it… and what do you like about it?
Regards,
Alan

No mention of #s matching, usually one of the first items you see when describing the car. No photo's of the engine compartment or stamp pad.
Leather seats with standard door panels? can't see much of the door panels to tell if they're deluxe. Missing the slider from the e-brake channel?
Overall a good looking car but not nearly enough info to speculate on whether it's worth the asking price.
Need more photos of interior, engine compartment, and underside.

Paint looks good, but the details look off to me. The one thing I saw (and there was a lot not shown ex: engine chasis) that would bother the the most is that its got a 1975 - 1977 spedometer in it.

Nice looking paint in the photos. I would have at least removed the overspray from the window chrome at the top of the door in the Astro Ventilation picture.(Maybe it's a reflection from the paint!) Radio in the car but no antenna?? Hmmm! Wonder Why? There is one pic of the console with no data plate and the other two shots show a data plate, not that it really matters much. I would wonder as others do why there aren't any engine or suspension photos! But it does look nice in the pics. Wonder why they included the GM interior add from a much later C3 interior(note the steering wheel). Maybe to show a deluxe interior?

As BBC mentioned, one must assume the engine numbers don’t match from all the text in the ad with no mention. That’s a pretty good deduction on a coupe like this.

Um, I know of this car, the seller isn’t about to take anything near the mid 20k range. Also there is a play on interpretation of words “perfect and “flawless”
