not everyone has forgotten these cars. I bought an '85 ASC/McLaren
Coupe last summer, with 68,000 miles on it in the St. Louis area.
Actually I've been surprised at the reaction I get on the street.
Some know what it is, and others are obviously trying to figure out
what it is. Living in northern Illinois with a dark blue and orange
car, it has inevitably become known to my friends and family as
the "the Bears car".

owner. I probably paid too much, but I'm happy with it, and I didn't
buy it to make money on it anyway. Right now it's in very good
condition other than the following:
