Assuming the seller got the Berlinetta part wrong and the year right, it looks like an 87 sport coupe with the LT option and option level #4. It is somewhat rare but not necessarily desirable.

Poor car , looks to be in rough shape.

Actually it looks like an '84 by the nose and the seats. No blue interior for '87.

After checking the interior shot, it's definitely a berly, so the guy got the year wrong. It's got the digital dash, also the interior is grey not blue. So it could be an 84, 85, or 86.

You gotta love stuff like this.....

From the looks of it, it's an '84 Berly. The '85 and '86 had a slightly different nose. And it has the '84 cloth seats.

BTW, what's it mean when the "Peace Edition"'s emblem is inverted? It's upside-down!!

how can you guys tell thats an 82-84 nose with such a dark pic i cant even see the fascia dam area at all to tell if its 82-84 or 85-up

82-84 had fender emblesm that high up ?? none of my 84s ever have had fender emblems that high up on fender like that


doesnt look to be in rough shape at alll, i can only see one ding in hood, and thats it, thats farkin super clean !!!!! you would die if you saw the 84 i got out here, has literally no floorboard up front at all from seat to pedal and rocker to tunnel and is ate out through through bad in rear lower front wheel wells and all around shock towers and so forth., thats how all old cars nd trucks are like around here, not many left anymore at all, very few,,
you guys must drive show cars or something, damn, or at least labrat anyways,.,.... no salt and snow up there anymore ?

interesting., only at 405 bucks right now ! steal !

The '82 - '84 nose is easy to identify from the '86 - '87 nose. The three slats across the center are much wider, about 1-inch tall vs. ~1/2-inch. The parking lamps are almost square. They are rectangular on the newer nose.

The "Berlinetta" nose emblem is not in the correct location on this car. It should be just above the driver's side slat on the nose itself.

there is still snow and salt up here, but my car doesn't get driven in it.

I should say that after closer inspection of the photos, the car isn't in too bad a shape particularly the interior.

My car isn't quite a "show" car but it's in better shape than 90% of the cars i have seen. The only better ones being show cars.

Were Berlinetta's ever available with those wheels? Those look like the SC wheels.

Not to be picky or flame but... I'm pretty sure all 84-86 Berlinettas had the digital dash. 82 and 83 didn't though.
