Is this the one he still has up on his site priced at $7500? It's still up, but he says it's sold.

No, I'm guessing not. I purchased the car from him several (9 or 10 - I need to look at the title) years ago.

Certainly a different car then. That one looked nice.

You know, that one may have been an '85. I remember being so happy they offered new colors in '86, but now? I like the classic color combination best.

There were combos made, that I actually saw, that I really did not care for, as much as others.

* Black with Orange decals
* Midnight Blue with Silver Decals
* Oxford White with Silver Decals

Ah, the Halloween Special...

I wasn't big on the charcoal & orange. that's why I had ASC change the stripes to silver on my '86 after delivery. Very subtle.

Any pics of your car? Sounds like a good example. Fair price too. Does it need paint?

I love all the ASC Coupes. My preferance would have been Silver with Black Stripes, but beggars can't be choosey.

To each his own. I didn't like the orange at that time because it attracted too much attention. I was 20 and doing what 20 year-olds do in fast cars.

I drove both mine A LOT and put the spurs to them too. They performed very well--especially against Trans Ams and IROCs. Vettes and GNs were a little more effort.

There were several item that got dumped, either before, after a handfull were done, or let us say after 2 handfulls were done. Those rear lexan plastic taillight covers were at one point, to be all 1 piece, covering up the license plate cove.
The 350-degree ground effects tape stripe was to cover the entire ground effect. (thusly being like 4 inches high totally covering the entire ground effect.

and the depressions in the hood, rather than the vents.....

The one thing I do wish they hadn't dumped was the '84 practice of putting the radar detector head in the glove box.

Adding a 3.27 gear from the auto car to the stick Coupes woulda been nice too.... That and the 225/50/15 would've made about a 3.60 gear instead of the 3.31 we got out of the 3.08s.

I agree, only 1,000 percent, especially on the radar location
