Neat info about my 86 coupe

ckj · Post by **ckj** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 1:53 am

Well I found the person that sold my car to Hank and he had some interesting information. Apparently he bought the car and was going to strip the drive train from it for a factory five car. It wasn't in good condition when he bought it and wasn't far from heading to the crusher. He found out the car was kind of rare and then decided that someone might be interested in it.

He had some pictures which are pretty cool. Some real jerk installed a hitch on the car at some point! See these pics below.

Wow, it was pretty rough at one time. Good to see it's in better shape now. Glad you finally found one. Wish me luck!!!

Wow. Glad to see the guy did a little checking first. It would have been tragic to see an ultra rare car get lost.

Actually those previous pics were from a different car - #002.

I just received these pictures this week, and yes it's the car in my album.

N20 if you have those pictures, you must have gotten them from the guy back in 2003 or something. He did post a for sale add on the old yahoo forums which is how I tracked him down. I've never seen these pictures before this week.

Full packaged '86, a bit tired, or..... let's just say, "Sleepy" ~

BTW, A Happy Easter to those Celebrating !

My 'Puter got fried. TOMORROW I will call MY GUY who fixes that which cannot be fixed, so 'til then I will be "ON" very little.

WOW

What a differance. Who did all the work Henry? to give it a second chance with life.

Did the orginal pictures make you alittle sick thinkin how could that be the same car that you just bought? It would me

I hope my 86 Blk/Sil looks that good when I'm done.

Oh ya

Which wheel color should it have from ASC?

White or Orange wheels ?

I think the White look the best to me

ckj · Post by **ckj** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 9:24 pm

Henry did all the work. I believe it originally had orange wheels from ASC but I prefer the white..

OMG !! Freakin' beautiful !!! !!! !!!

On the Oxford White, the person (dealer in most cases) had his choice of wheel color ON an Oxford White car.
