I passed this sharp looking 86 a few times last year going the opposite direction. Then, on the way to work, I saw it parked this week in the neighborhood so I took this pic. I was planning to stop and talk to the owner and next day it was gone.
Love that color combo & its an HO car, nice & original.
Yeah it appears to be all original, and a local car, the Sutliff logo is the Chevy dealership around here and that's the original font logo they had in the 80's so the car was never repainted either! Wish it wasn't sitting out in the rain!
That's Some Bad Paint Deterioration For A 1992,I'd Like To Know What State This Car Lived Most Of It's Life,I've Seen 1982 Daily Drivers With Original Paint That Looked Better Than That.
Because they are diamonds in the rough, and we see their true potential!!!

In the pic, body looks straight, I only see surface rust where the sun burned up the paint, which might mean that it spent it's life in a state which kept the undercarriage fairly spotless, super rare color, I mean if it runs........
I think I'd scrub the hood and roof with a water/CLR mixture, clear it and drive it.
This has been parked at a large construction project in the Madison, WI area for the past two days. I looked inside and the mileage was 35,000. Very clean and appears well taken care of.
Not sure if this counts, but it is a blue IROC and it was in a parking lot, parked almost directly across from me. I'm sure shows don't count, but I wanted to brag about my first car show....
its even better if you find it on street view.There are few people here who found their own cars on street view....heck I remember one found himself working on his car
Saw this in the super market parking lot. I parked and waited for the guy to come out. 1985 all original with less than 15k. 1 owner car, TPI, and those gatorbacks. He thinks the louvers are original but not sure if it was a dealer option. Absolutely beautiful!

Wow that's nice and it's an 86!!! It has the CHMSL on the top of the rear hatch. The rear window louvers were a factory option for 1986! Those original ones sell for like $400-$500 now.

What a beauty!
BTW, it's an '86 and those aren't Gatorbacks.
It would look so much better with new center caps.
Yeah the guy was an older gentlemen and he said he just bought the car a few months back from the original owner, he paid 12k. He seamed a little confused and was in a hurry. I was just so amazed to see this at my local grocer that I did not take a close look.

It's definitely a really clean, maintained, original looking car! Great find!
What is the closest to a Gatorback that we can buy now? Looking for similar tread pattern and "sticky" factor. My tires are rock hard and spin without trying, kinda sucks and is pretty unsafe.
Thanks,
