took the big step and decided to buy a absolutely rust free, no body damage, not even a hint of surface rust, perfect body alignment 87 N/A, this thing screams!!! its like the first time i ever drove a z, but with 211K on the motor and trans, it feels like the car just left the lot, but yea, it has its quircks, but what car doesnt?? pics will come tomorow..

How much did you pay. I was like man that car is clean, then i scrolled down a little and i was like holy Shnit. No i'm just kidding. Thats clean missing a few interior parts huh. My friends still got a 87'(i think) coupe, turbo but an auto, for a thousand. Running and clean. I'm not post thieving either just telling.

palm desert is way close to coronado--my little 1986 parts ar would do that trip with her eyes shut. i HAVE an intact black dash. i HAVE a console cover. my poor ancient and ugly excellent running driveable parts car would be perfect for you or anyone else looking for these and other parts--like the rack and pinion, sooooo uch good stuff. of course, if youz guyz don't want it, i'll wait until barbie moves to cali.......

ooohh!!! i see you also need a door panel--the one which, on my parts car, is PERFECT. go figger. palm desert, eh?? i could drive out and show you how well she drives, but she's supposed to be a parts car. still too much fun to drive!

I wonder if the front suspension would work on my s130. I was doing like 120 and just couldn't stop, luckly there was a dirt road ahead. I guess i need 86 turbo or any 87+ car, but there the same aren't they. If you want to get rid of her, drive it down to Moreno valley, and drop her at my mom's that way i'll have a project next year.

the 87 has a more rounded body then the 86, but if you want a ride LMK i might make a trip out to san diego and pick up that steering rack..
