Nice car. Not sure if it's the sun playing tricks but the paint looks very dull. I thought Claret had a more rich lustre. What's your guess as to what it will go for? Did I miss photos of the engine bay and open boot, as well as photos of each door card, the dash, each seating area. Maybe I was to impatient. Thanks for posting.

Lots of rust as the base of the windshield.

Cheers

That must be an '86 judging by the VIN. The TPA paint is thoroughly shot. That right-rear door was repainted in clear over base probably.

Besides the windscreen rust and bad paint already mentioned, the drivers seat needs new leather and the headliner is loose. Also if you look at the under body shots, the bottom has been damaged ( long creases / gouges ) loading onto a trailer / hauler with too much angle ( making humps in the floor pans and pushing up the carpets ). The parking brake lever cover has been completely ripped off with the remains of the rivets visible and the metal EVAP line running next to the fuel line has been knocked loose and just zip tied in place. Finally the right rear bumper has some damage from backing into something or being hit ( look at the rear view, you can see the upwards bend at the side finisher joint ).
Could be a good project for someone if there is no other rust and they plan to do the work themselves, otherwise better have deep pockets !

Be interesting to see what the high bid is none the less !
Cheers,
Brian
