Hey Longduck

Can you go check out the car.....I have room for another 7 in my garage............Cant email you......

 

take a look at this I do not think its a avatar

 

no 626 trunk lid on this one.

 

That's a Mark II (81-83) car look at the dash. Since PA was converting for several years, did they change the trunk to a 626 later? Does anyone have pics of a 84-85 PA?

 

Any pics of these with the tops up? They look alright with the top down, but I bet there's a reason why the guy on ebay didn't post a pic with the top up.....

 

yah I have heard that a few times. I understand they used 626 lid when trying to stay in bussiness on the last few. one thing that seams common through out on the avatars was the top assy. and the car in question at the top of the thread is not done anything like a avatar top assy. the avatar was a top quality car and though the car in question looks nice it is not the quality that they used. It looks more like the one done in fla or the one know as the cal coupe convertable. the pics I have on paper of the PA gslse has the same set up as above with an 84-85 US dash

 

the top on the PA is the same style as the mercedes style. that one looks more like a mg style top

 

BIOING!!!

 

I saw the car, very nice, has bracing on the underbody (two like L irons or whatever running front to back, and thats all i could see, didnt look too hard)
very nicely done, paint is a lil off in spots, but no big deal at all, like one chip in the paint, trunk is a tiny bit misaligned
looks real good with top up, i belive the top is from a mercedes, very nicely done
runs good too. auto though
but i saw it up close and personal, very nice car.

 

PS reason he doesnt have the top up, is because this is phoenix, rarely rains (although it did the past two days).
its a pain in the *** to put the top up, cause it has like 20 snaps at least, and more snaps on the top cover.
but we finally convinced him to put it up, it looks good, no big gaps or anything.
PM me if you have any SERIOUS questions, I can probably call him, but he does answer his e-mails, so e-mail him. But I will tell you what I know.

 

you wont see it up..


because it has no roof

 

what roof? I bet it dont have a top

 

LOL it has a roof the dude sent me some pics. He has been good about answering e-mails but he doesn't know much about the car before he got it.

 

Thats a triumph roof. Looks TR6-ish.

 

here is a couple more views

 

It has a GSL-SE badge. Heh.

 

It's the super-rare, super-valuable, carbureted GSL-SE! :p

 

Yeah LOL. I asked him about that he said he just bought the badge on eBay. Maybe the new owner can get a "V12" and "supercharged" to put on there instead. That would be truely rare.

 

He says its a GSL in the ad, and it has disk rear.
It is tempting.

 

12A auto? what a waste...please, someone buy it and conver it to a standard 13B or better....

 

no way is that a mercedes top. the way it snaps on and the cut, it has to be a one off of a BL car.

 

its nicely done, but I bet it leaks like a bitch!

and to me its just plain freaking ugly...

 

well, it is arizona, rains like 6 times a year.
but anyways, it does look good with the top up, not hacked together at all
definately reminds me of a old ferrari, like a daytona spyder or something of the sort.

 

the back looks like an ugly alfa rameo if you ask me...
