Title: 1985.5 TC Black/Red 5-Speed, WA, not mine, $2K obo
Post by: P71 on March 15, 2006, 01:39:35 AM
There is a customer in Longview, WA wishing to sell her car. It's a 1985.5 TC, Black, red leather, single power seat, 5-Speed, cornering lamps, etc. It's got NEW paint, a nicer interior, runs and drives EXCELLENT (I've driven it, it's mechanically sound). .63 A/R T3, all-original motor, fresh tune-up, nice CD player/system with 2 10"'s, chrome wheels, new tires, chrome exhaust, new cat-back. No issues, no rust except 1 nickel-sized bubble just under the rear window. Never been hit or messed with. She's asking $2000 obo. It's well worth that but I can't have any more cars, so I'm trying to help her out. I have a ton of pics and her contact info if anybody is SERIOUSLY interested.

And is that a factory sunroof?
What a car.

Unfortunately, not a factory sunroof, but the install was done right (by the dealer in 85 at that) and has never leaked. The car is also woman-owned and never been beat on so there's no 1/4 panel warpage. The really nice paint shows any body imperfections, and I haven't found one yet. This is the 2nd best TC I have ever seen in my life, and I've seen a TON of TC's.

I would seriously consider that if I wasn't 3,000 miles away from it.  What a beautiful car.

Jim, I guarantee it will drive the 3000 miles back to your house with no problems. I'll even pick you up from the airport;)

So between the cost of a plane ticket out there and gas and four days of lost work on the way back, the car would end up costing me probably twice as much as the actual price!  :giggle:
