That's a pretty sick car for the price, and with only 55K on it for miles...

Definatly not winning the "ebay ad of the year award" with those crappy pics lol but looks like a decent car. If I had room for another one I'd go for it, always wanted to restore a LE...

You should go check it out regardless and post pictures here! We all like to check out the other cars out there. Something in a gearheads DNA.

Agreed, decent pics would be appreciated. Along with another rotary owner's opinion of the car.

Wow.... pristine '85 GSL-SE with 32K on the clock currently up as well. Current bid is $14.6K with 2 days to go. What's with that crazy valuation??

so valuation. its got 32k miles, in a rare color combo, condition looks to be nearly perfect. a friend of mine sold a 52,xxx mile car that was just as nice for $10, several years ago, so 14.6 is a lot, but it may sell.

Very nice car, that Tender Blue... bet you it doesn't break the reserve, though.

Here are 2 videos I took when I saw it. It has some surface rust, and has been in Maryland it's entire life. The guy who has it now is the 2nd owner. He bought it after it was sitting for approx 8 years. The interior is in ok condition, all the flaws are from the sun. It has all 4 LE wheels. The cat was removed, but it still has all the other emission crap. The carb was rebuilt recently. He has had some local interest. Not looking to make a lot of money, but wants it sold. I think that the reserve on ebay was 1000.

Here are the youtube links. don't hate on my awesome filming/commentary.

You know, something smells about this auction. I think the whole sale was BS. How could you get to an offer of $14.6K and not trip the reserve. Guy probably set the reserve price at $20K to see how high it would go just to tell his insurance company that the car was worth $14K+ based on his "ebay auction."
