Paint code should be in the center console, it should be a wa- ####, then just go about anywhere they sell auto paint and buy it. You should look in on getting some Gfe's [package if you can. Also have him paint the side moldings and stuff, might help the car look alot better. You cant beat a free car, expecially one with TTOPS Interior looks real good too, look into some neew rims too, they look like the same 14 inch one's i got on my 92 S10

(heh that means its been collecting dust in his garage for the past 3 years ) Im pretty sure its a berlinetta though.. it said somewhere in the car, in the middle console or something i gotta go dig around and look, ill find out

Berlinettas in 86' got the digital dash , funky console/radio and a special berli steering wheel. They also had a belinetta patch on the lower sailpanel, i think you have a sc too. I may be wrong though

That looks like Bright Blue Metallic code 23U. I agree with the others, you've got a Sport Coupe. Looks like this car has the optional gage package (tach, oil pressure gage, temp gage, volt gage), also it's got fog lamps. On the other hand this car has the "base" interior and manual crank windows. Oddly optioned car.

Needs some work but I see the potential. Reminds me of my '85 Berlinetta.

Looks like a good project car. Always good to see one revived after being locked away for a while. Good luck.
