My beautiful new 86 Coupe. Must see and comment
I bought today a 86 Coupe. RED. Need I say more? RED. I paid 4500.00 dollars for it. She had 79,962 miles on her when I picked her up. Everything Works. Paint is GREAT Interior is Great has gray vinyl sport seats. Clear targa top thats cracked and will need replaced but i dont care because im not going to drive it in the rain anyway. She needs a good detail because I'm a perfectionist but shes beautiful. I will need new tires because there are flat spots and it shakes bad from it. I would have taken them from my old car but the guy bought it too fast and I didnt have time. I dont know what else to say other than to post pics.

WOW looks so nice! $4500 is a good price for this peach. RED RED RED
I noticed that the wheels are oriented in different directions. Not an issue really, but check on the correct mounting orientation before you replace the tires so they are "spinning" correctly
Also looks like aftermarket mufflers, possibly? Is it loud?

Yea the wheels irritated me but I'll fix it when I change tires. The exhause has a nice sound but is not too loud. I will actually be changing that because i HATE the way they hang so low and look.

She looks great! The exhaust isn't stock (which is why it's louder). It's a easy fix. Enjoy you new ride!

From one 86er to another - well done. You have a good car at a good price. You'll undoubtedly hit some of the same things I have, but none are insurmountable.
Well done.
Well done.

Very Nice. Time to start reading about all those little problems that you will have to repair.

Very nice. You bought well.
