How About A Ballpark Price On This '86
First, let me say that I’m not interested in the car as I have an '89TII that I purchased new, but a friend of mine hooked me up with a fellow that has an '86 that's been in a garage for years.
Took a ride to Belmar to see the car:
Original owner-95,000 miles
Original exhaust-looks in good shape except for the rusted chrome tips but couldn’t look at the Y pipe/converters forward
Sunroof-2 rust holes completely through the surface
Owner said it needs a clutch
Maroon velour interior, pretty good shape. Only problem was on the side of driver's seat, seam separated
5 lug
Vinyl covering off both outside window sills and have rusted
Paint dull, dent in hood, rest looked OK-Color a tan/beige-Sorry don't know the exact color and never looked at the paint code.
Small OE rear black spoiler
Tires shot, at least the 2 rear were completely gone on the inside
Aftermarket radio
Crank windows
Tried to turn the engine over by hand, wouldn't budge. Naturally dead battery, so tried a battery pack that may have been weak, lights came on no starter action.
What’s a good price? He mentioned $700, but in my opinion I think that’s high, but maybe I’m expecting too much. I mentioned I would post it on the Forum to see what the consensus might be.
TIA

i'm not interested in it at all. I have a '89TII I purchased new in excellent condition and also a '91 TII rolling chassis complete, just minus engine/trans, so no more for me.
