Any feedback on the price? Am I out of market for the way this car presents? I’m aware this is a dumb question for a seller to ask but this is the top site for enthusiasts for this car - so who better to poll on the topic. Constructive help is appreciated.

Nice looking color combo car.
Price sounds reasonable if it presents in person as well as it does in the pics.

Why does a/c not blow cold?
Fix that and I'd bet it'd sell quickly.

Thank you for the feedback.

I will try to do a further assessment on the AC and update. The blue light comes on, the fan power comes on well (no noise - good airflow) it just doesn’t feel as cold as my more modern cars.

Hi

I have tried to link to more detailed photos as requested. Fingers crossed it works. Copy and paste to browser worked for me.

Bump.

I also have a replacement dash (2 slight cracks purchased from a forum member) that can go with the car for full asking price.

Bump.

Did I mention it has a 3.46 LSD and a short throw shifter and is super duper fun to drive?

Thanks for considering.

[rewilfert]

It obviously needs paint, but what bodywork is needed?

[rewilfert]

Who built the diff or what did it come out of?

Email sent. Thanks for your interest.

Bump.

Price reduced $7,000 or reasonable offer. Getting interest in the dash alone so I will try to handle that apart from the car.

Did I mentioned this is a fun driving car that is comfortable and is a trustworthy 37 year old time capsule . . . It’s not perfect.

Thanks for considering.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out and for sharing. I am sorry if I missed someone. I have been trying to communicate back to everyone in a timely manner. Please have them reach out and mention Mye28 and I will be sure to follow up. It's also on CL in bay area so they can use that method as well.

Appreciate it.
