GSL-SE possibly for sale...

My friend Greg (GregSL-SE) was at my house and playing vice city (KICKASS game. We hear a loud crash. I look out the window and then back at Greg.

"Where'd you park your car at Greg?"

"Right in front of Anthony's 4Runner, why?"

"Ummm...We might wanna go find your car..."

Down the hill a bit we find greg's car...connected to a Pontiac Grand Prix...and a Volvo.

Greg's front fender, front bumper, left headlight cover, and a bit of the driver's door are no good. He is thinking of selling it and buying an SA for a turbo swap.

'84 GSL-SE, 160k, Great interior, runs great, obvious cosmetic damage now. What do you guys think he could get for it?

Ill post some pics before the "wreck" in a little while.

I figured such; I just wanted to make sure. That stinks. Maybe you could post some pics of the damage for some of us to better judge it's value?

Well, the front fender is now off of the car...it was totally ruined. aside from that, its going to need a new front bumper, headlight cover, and it wouldnt hurt it to have a new door. Ill take some pics in the next few days

That paint looks a little dull....is that just the picture? What color is it supposed to be? I'm thinking maybe around $1000. It sounds nice, other than the body damage.

We still havent figured out how it rolled...Ironically, where it's parked in the picture is where it rolled from. Good thing that Pontiac was there to stop it!!! He left it out of gear and the best we can figure is that he didnt pull the brake up all the way.

85RX7GS---the paint is as dull as it looks in the pics, but hey, now it has to be painted...the whole thing. The color was originally Tornado silver (K8)

LOL, If you look at the 3rd pic, the interior shot, you can see the turn the thing had to make to end up down the street. It rolled a good 75 yards before hitting the other car.

Sold the car as is tonight for 1100 bucks! I was impressed, I was only expecting him to get 5-600 dollars.

Next up, he'll be selling the 'Vert before tooo long if anyones interested.

Wow, $1100! Good deal! An '84 GSL nearby sold for $1000; it ran, but was very rusty with a very poor looking body and interior.
