Edit: My earlier comment struck me as harsh after having my morning caffeine.

It might make a fun beater. Snarlin' V8, snappy transmission, some gears... Top down burnouts. Can always junk it later, but junk the 3 spokes, er six? spokes? The 90's are renowned for their hideous Sear's American Racing wheels.

Re: ULTRA Rare 19281 mile convertable

Wow, that looks like a rough 19K miles. Seats look reupholstered and then re-trashed.

119K miles? 219K miles?


But 1,000 bucks, if it runs and doesn't have Fred Filnstone floors......

Re: ULTRA Rare 19281 mile convertable

yep, rougher than a stucco bathtub. Probably a base model 1988 SC vert, which means it had either silver or gold skirts and wheels. Could be restored to stock, but then it would be fairly run-of-the mill. Might look nicer as a white IROC wannabe. Problem is, then the next POS owner might try to pass it off as a genuine IROC.


I have one of these, loved it when it was new... not new anymore. Needs updates.

19K miles. Pffft. This is why we are often uncertain & cautious on low mile claims. Unless this is a one owner, never re-titled car I am sure car fax would show otherwise.
Why even make such a silly claim? Unless of course, just maybe............ The seller bought it from another who was told from the dealer when he was just 16 it was ultra rare, & that dealer also verified the mileage 2 decades in advance.........

Seriously tho, neither claim is that big of a deal to me as its obviously a worn out, cheap parts car with decent pictures & priced accordingly. Now if it was priced at 10K because of the miles & rarity, we would be absolutely shedding this car.......

Lol, That is very funny. Can't help but imagine it too... Ouch!

Kitthecarguy, There used to be a place called Curtis kitchens & cabinets in Livonia. Is that still around? I bought a 93 40th anniversary vette conv from the owner maybe 20 years ago?

Hi F-body-fan,
Yes Kurtis Kitchen and Baths is still there. Actually, four locations around metro Detroit.
They sell stucco bathtubs.

Re: ULTRA Rare 19281 mile convertable

He changed it to 192816 miles.... Looks like it might be closer to 192817, but close enough.
