LOTS of pix. With luggage cover! No AC.
Sold for $4350 with 49 bids - anyone here?
Can you believe it - 53K freaking miles on a 30-year old car?

Considering my 87 had 63k or so when we bought it and only has 68k now, yes I can believe it!

wow, very clean. but i'm still surprised it fetched that much, what with the small rust bubbles on the fenders, tear in the driver seat, slightly dirty ceiling, and shifter boot out of place. those are all very minor and easily dealt with but that's a lot for such an old car with those typical issues. i guess the low miles offsets the issues, in some people's eyes.

i smirked at the 'shift speed' stickers on the dash. something about that just screams 'senior citizen.' would they forget to shift otherwise?

Or it was for a teen driver!

Just noticed this car has the rare Pre 87 fabric DLX seats.
