Rare finds still out there - my new to me 83 GS

Back from the grave......... and still out of touch with reality....... Yes I am still alive

I figured that with the Turbo'ing of my 7 that I'd need a "spare" 7 to run around in so as to not suffer the painfull withdraw symptoms. And after many failed attempts to find just the right 7 this one falls into my lap


83 GS - 73K all mint, all original
no winters, nice shiny factory paint, mint interior, 99.9% rust free, even working A/C
only negative is its an Auto, but thats a good thing for me, Means I can just drive it instead of modifing it. I plan to just drive it as a wonderful fun daily driver.
Don't worry, not going to drive in blizzards, got the 626 Turbo for that

and the best part, picked up this gem for only $1500
so never give up hope, there are a few of these still hiding in peoples garages!

Looks like it idles a little high, factory specs say 750 RPMs .

Nice looking car man, sure is sweet. I like the new sig too . Oh yeah, and since its an auto, and low miles, be sure to take it out and blow some of that carbon outta there. It was probably babied a lot. I had one with 80K (my 83 GSL) that the engine siezed in cause it was WAY too carbon-ish . Anyway, just have fun with it .

EDIT: For got to say welcome back. I was just getting used to coming here right about when you kinda dropped off...Nice to see you back again.

Was that IMSA sticker on the rear driver window common on the '83 or is it just coincidence we both have that sticker on our '83's?
