  This is truly an incredible machine.  In 1994 it sold for over $52,000.00.  I have had it for about 3 years, but I have not driven it much.  As you can see in the pictures there are a few large scratches that she received when the shelter I put up to cover her blew over and scratched her. The fuse is out for the sun roof but it does work, some times it was picky about closing so my wife asked me to pull the fuse.  The car is not running right now, but she runs like a rocket and there are no problems with the engine or the trans or the rear-end. This car has not rattles and is extremely solid.  VERY FAST and FUN TO DRIVE!!!  The AC blower was giving me a problem so I purchased a new one and it worked great, but a few weeks later it stopped blowing (AC was working but would not blow) so I worked on it some more and I could get it to work but it would only blow for a short time and then it would stop.  I tested the blower off of the car and it works. After working on the AC for a few hours I gave up and put her back together so I could take her to someone else to work on her.  She had been running all day but when I put her all back together she would not start.  I have been told that it has to be something simple.  This GREAT car was my extra car and a toy so at that time she did not make it to the top of my TO DO LIST. I put the cover over her and put her to bed.  The interior is like new with no rips or ware showing on the seats at all.  The carpets are in great shape ect.  The electric seats work great.  She has brand new tires that only have about 500 miles on them.  I was going to part her out but I could not bring myself to do it to such a great driving machine, not to mention the time it would take to do it and I do not have the tools that would be needed to do the job. With a little bit of TLC and not much money this will be a great car for someone that wants a real head turner.  She no longer has a battery in her. She does have a CD changer in the trunk but I could not get it to work but I never really worked on it, the original radio is working. I do love this car and I am sure I will regret getting rid of her.  Have fun and bid often!!!
