Very nice - looks really clean and well cared for!! Welcome to the madness...lol

Absolutely love white with the red interior - that color combination is such a indicator of the times back then...from like the mid-80s to early 90s...

Enjoy!!

I'm a Detroit native, Wings #1 and a University of South Florida graduate so Lightning #2. As a matter of fact I participated in the "Senior Olympics" here in the NW...I was our teams goalie...took the gold!


Oh, and let's not forget golf lol.

Cool! I golf casually but mostly to get out and enjoy a day with buddies and a couple (plenty) of beers.

I'm a Philly native so Flyers fan here, as painful as that is at times lol

Growing up in Detroit as a Wings fan in the 70's was painful, so I can relate brother. I'm guessing you're rocking a C4 as well?

Yes sir, not as pretty as yours on the outside by any means. But I was on a budget and couldn't pass up the sound LT1 with 6-speed and only 70k on her.

Congrats on the purchase, I'm sure you'll find things to tinker with if you're into cars. Mine is a blast to work on, yes slightly challenging at times but still a blast to drive.

Driver seat looks electric so what is that hole beside the driver seat adjuster? FX3 that the PO was too cheap to get working and decided to remove it or was there a cover that was lost?

LT1 6 speed...wow awesome! I was looking for a manual trans, but I couldn't pass up the deal on this one, (guy was going through a divorce and didn't want to deal with the car anymore...I do feel bad for him). It was 5K so I think I got a pretty good deal considering the condition. I can't wait to tinker with it...my first "mod" will be to remove the drivers sun visor as I'm 6'5" and its a tad in my way lol.

Wow 6'5" that's a big tendy lol bet you take up 95% of the net to start with haha

Yeah that's about what I scooped mine for. Took me forever to find it and it has some fiberglass damage that I'm trying to get sorted but I paid for the drive train, right or wrong lol

Great question aklim. I believe it is only power driver seat...but now that you mention it, that doesn't make a lot of sense. Up until now I haven't paid too much attention to it...when I get home from work I'll check it out. Good call on that!
