This one looks to need some help but appears not to be too far gone to me.

Blue as in feeling blue? Cause the color of the car is "Smoke Gray"

I like it...it's a bit rough for me though...:(

Why don't people take better care of them? My neighbor has a 1995 Dodge Stealth that looks like brand new. Another neighbor has a 1997 Infiniti Q45 that has one small door ding on it, otherwise it's flawless.
The guy in back has a 1992 Cadillac Brougham that's exceptionally clean.
Why are so many ascMcLaren "beat" ~ I'm not talking of door dings or scratches, I'm talking missing bumper covers, window overlays, cut dashboards, wrong seats etc.....

You're talking grownups. The downfall of these cars are kids.

Kids drool over them. Kids want any kind of muscle car they can get. Kids don't have cash to do maintenance let alone fix a busted air dam. Kids crash them and hammer on them.

It's all them damn kids.

Oh wait, that was me too.

Damn stupidity of youth.

I bet that's a rear bumper fascia he put on the front.

Nicer than my vert, and looks like a promising project....definitely don't need another though.

HA!! I think youre right. That is a rear valance that was bolted to the front...

There is a black '86 with silver stripes running around town here in about the same condition as that one. I have been after that car for years. The guy just uses it as a daily driver.
