Hey everyone. Just purchased a real sweet white 89 coupe with 74,000 original miles. Absolutely love it. I can burn reg gas and get close to 30mpg on the highway and around 17 around town. It might only have 245hp, but it's got 340ft lbs of torque. I don't know how many of you knew this little well kept secret, but now that I have one, I don't mind letting the cat out of the bag. I won't say what I paid for it but let's just say I got a sweet deal on that too. See you on the road, Jimbo 89.
