I have been speaking directly with the owner.
1. It's original. He bought her new at a dealer in Florida. She was new & instock, he claims, with the white seats. He had no idea that it was special
2. I enlarged the photo. The roof is a replacement. Wrong Stitch Pattern!
3. She has the original Whistler Radar & the Recaros & Automatic.
4. The wife says "absolutely NOT" ! _________________ Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.

Yes Sandy, I can see your interest in the car. You definitely have a paucity of cars in your possession!

Did the 86's come with white vents? Is it a repaint? Ends in 59 mins and no bidders yet. |

No bids...I can't believe it ?
The opening bid price didn't seem out of line.
Only 19k on the odometer, probably a 1 of 1 with those white seats. |

I think he means the hood vents ?
All hood vents were body color regardless of year.... No ?
I don't think it was repainted either ? |

I checked the VIN against my master listing.
1. Original Interior was Regatta Blue (NO white seats!)
2. Original Roof was "Atlantic Blue" Cambria Cloth
3. The Taillight Covers are MIA
4. Due to the hazing of the headlight covers, we can tell that they are original, and therefore the taillamp covers were on the car at some time.
5. I doubt the mileage..... 18,000 in 22 years? The tailpipes are NOT OEM, and the pull down is surely broken. 2 BIG gaps, roof to tonneau and Tonneau to body.
White tops were only ascMcLaren applied to 1990s.
Dark Chocolate tops were 1989s domain ONLY
NO Tan tops on 1990s, ever _________________ Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.
