An '84 with a POWER moonroof... must-see.

I'd SO buy this car if I had the money.  I thought the power moonroof was only available starting in '85 and even then it was rare to see.  Anyone seen that before?

EDIT:  D'oh!  I didn't see it was dealer-installed.  Still very sharp and scarcely seen!

Ok, not to double-post, but someone here NEEDS to buy this car.

95k, V8, Turbine wheels, new duals, selling it because the instrument cluster is busted.  $600 buy it now.  Sheesh.  I realize now how much I overpaid for my car.

...and I suspect that the "1/2 broken" gauges may simply be burned out bulbs!

Wow, that first one is a gem.  That moon roof looks like top notch work too.  That seond one has amazingly low miles, for as good of condition as it is in.  What was the deal with the eLans??

I think the elan is the predecessor to the sport.

elan is just a trim option basically. No major upgrades, mostly just more loaded with options.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
