Craigslist ad...I thought this was funny as hell. At least they were being honest about it being a POS.

I actually looked at a 90 vert before I bought my 89 which was possibly in worse shape than that one. It was red and shiny though so from 100' it looked pretty decent.

If the "bones" are decent why wouldn't somebody pick this up? You could make a killer track day/autoX car with some fresh mechanical bits.

I've seen worse. Actually, the top on it looked in pretty good shape. Interesting hood, too.
