Title: 85-86 Turbo Coupe
Post by: rodsterh on October 12, 2005, 11:34:13 AM
I have a lead on a 85 or 86 Turbo Coupe. White w/ red interior. Suppose to be a Texas car and rust free. Dash area is torn apart but all parts are said to be in the trunk. Not running at the moment but was before the dash 'work' started.

The whole car is available for around $600. If no one is interested in buying the car whole, I may consider buying it and parting it if it ends up to look more like a parts car.

If you are interested in any way, car or parts, please let me know.

I'll try to get some more details/pics ASAP and post them here.

edit> Oh yea, the car is located near Allentown PA.

Title: It's an '86
Post by: rodsterh on October 13, 2005, 11:23:22 AM
It’s an ’86 and it’s rough….more likely a parts car unless you have lots of time and money and love white/red.  Damage to hood and trunk deck, interior very rough (drivers seat is literally falling apart) and the wiring looks like a nightmare. Cracked dash pad and door panels and instrument panel are torn apart.

 Under hood isn’t too bad but lots of spliced wiring and who knows what else. It has a cracked E3 exhaust manifold. Shouldn’t it have an E6? Doesn’t run (probably due to the wiring)

5 speed is in the car. No idea on condition. Supposedly it has a new clutch.

The body doesn’t seem to have rust but there looks to be some signs of body repair.

3 of 4 wheels are OK but one has curb rash.

Lenses and everything else you look at are broken, cracked or rough. Not a lot of good salvageable exterior parts.

Most of the interior is -rough-. I don't have any pictures available, sorry. 

I doubt I'll be picking this car up unless the price really drops. There just aren't a lot of good clean pieces on this car to make it worth it.

If I do get back to it sometime I'll try to snap some interior pics.
