Nice Car! Very Clean! Does it have some paint touch up on the fender bolts? Arizona sun fade repair? Someone will get a nice car either way.
that's funny- my red '86 has the exact same overspray on the fender bolts and rubber stops

If I had no new car payments,I would buy that fast as #$% and I am not joking!
i like this car and would love to have it. i'm a bit skeptical about the mileage. 34000? thats less than 1400 a year. when i see a car being advertised as low miles and original i look at the break pedal, steering wheel, shifter knob, armrests, scratches on the coloum from the keys, how worn are the keys? the carpet, how clean is the inside of the coolant overflow bottle? although many of these things look great on this car it has obviously been repainted or touched up and had a very good detailing job done. there is red paint where it should not be. look at the drivers side carpet and door sill, there is just too much wear for 34000 miles unless she only drove it to the golf course wearing her spikes. why no history report or carfax? if i was selling this car it would be something i would certainly want to show a potential buyer. that being said i'm still drooling over it. whenever a car like this comes up for sale it is half way across the country from me or i'm broke, this time it's both! someone please buy this car so it will be lovingly taaken care of and not run into the ground by some teenager that just got there license!
wow just like mine that i just took off the road and curently scraping...unreal!!!
John G- I was thinking the carpet looked kinda rough for the miles...I chalked it up to age. But who knows.
There were additional photos of the underside in photobucket if you clicked on the photos posted in the ad. The underside looked more worn than I expected, and again, I thought it was an age issue. We will never know, but you observations were quite astute.
Let's hope the car and buyer have a long happy relationship.. Mileage accurate or not, it is still an excellent, complete 1st gen, and for that , it is a victory for our gang.

Hey, never underestimate a small band of ragged desperados fiercly supporting a radical cause....
Is your's an '87 2 door?
(Quoting a past member)-"Never underestimate a First Gen"
lmao haha ok. yea its a 87 z24 2.8 5 speed. I just took it of the road cause its no longer safe to drive lol the rear subframe is roted out. I love these cars but this one is beyon repair so I'm parting it out
If it is still sporting the chin spoiler, strut bar on the front towers ect. you'll have no troubles finding a buyer. Lots hungry customers on here. :-)

Matt, Do you have any pictures if your car that you can post on here?
yea I'm working on that lol. but all my pics the files seem to be to big
I'm new to this site so you guys will have to bear with me lol
It's not the size of the pics, it's how you use them...
I found Google+ (it's like facebook, but more user friendly) to be the easiest way to post up pics. Once you create an account there, you can upload your pics.
Then, open a 2nd tab in your browser, or a 2nd window, whichever you like better and come here to post.
to post the pic here, go to your G+ account, bring up the picture, and if you're using a windows machine, press F6 to highlight the entire URL bar in G+, right click in that URL bar and choose copy. If you're using Mac, command L will highlight the URL
then come to here in your other tab or window to post, and in your post, type [ img ] paste your url here and type [ /img ]
now around the letters img and /img are brackets, they are above your return key, and DON'T USE THE SPACES THAT I USED. I did that so you could see what I typed. just type the bracket and img and the closing bracket without any spaces.
You can then preview your post to make sure the pic shows up, once in a while it doesn't work for me, but it almost always does. When it doesn't work for me, I have even had to reboot my computer before it would work--don't know why, but sometimes it just doesn't work for me.
Once you get all that done, I would really love to buy the sway bar...
Matt if you have a yahoo email account you can easily use that to login to Flickr and use that to host your pics and then just link to them here. Hope you rethink about shipping would be a shame if something useful to someone on here gets scrapped. Heck even the shell of the car could be useful to somebody like Slick Vic or Cody.
thanks wayne and spike, Im going to look into doing that as soon as i get a chance
