My first car - 83 GSL!!! PICS

80 k original miles/ all stock except for RB engine torque brace that last owner installed/ i am the third owner/ virtually rust free (little spot on firewall)/ only (big) problem is the engine, a major seal has failed and it leaks not too badly but it will need a rebuild soon/ there are two dents on the driver side but hard to see being a white car and ill get them fixed sooner or later(it was in a parking garage for most of its life)/ i got it for 1800, let me know what you think...

very clean, too bad the engine needs rebuilding. you could probably swap to a 13b for half the cost of a rebuild if you find a nice condition engine at a wrecker and do some research on the forum.

g'luck with the car!

Nice car, but I wish the value on these would start to come up, I just spent more than your purchase price on mods for my 84.
