black over grey should have been an option.

In 1985 the car was available with paint code, H1, Sparkling Black Metallic, and grey interiors are known to exist.

manntis, thanx for the reply.

although I'm not sure it answers my question......were the two ever one (i.e. black exterior w/ grey interior)?

I know about the sparkling black paint code, but did any of those come with a grey interior?.........have you seen one (factory original, not interior swap)?

I have personally ONLY seen black exterior w/ crimson interior.

The lighter colors usually got the grey interior.

rotarypwrd,

Mine is an 85. Funny Story here in CT. I first bought the car back in 2002 froma guy who wnated 2500.00 but could not get it running. After 4 weeks of dealing with him I took the car home for 900.00. New battery, new plugs, unflooded the motor, she purrs!

Now for the fun part. Sold it in Feb 2003 for 2000.00. Since the minute it left me I was depressed. Even though she made me 1100 profit. Saw an add in the local paper for an 85 SE. Went to check it out. It was my CAR! The kid even had a cardboard box with my name on it with a new Air Intake I gave the people I sold it to! WEIRD.

They sold it to this lid for 3000.00. The fuel pulsation dampner was leaking and caught fire. It toasted the wiring harness, injectors, fuel rail, and oil lines. Everything else is good. Bought it back for 600 bucks!

I got the car back and I am still up 500.00! Shoot me an email and I'll send some pics. I'll never sell it again, it will go to the grave with me. It was fate it came back to me.

Thanks
ViperEater
