I saw that car too. What a shame. I'm amazed at the interior though. Even the gold PONTIAC on the taillight center piece is perfect. I wonder how many miles are on the car.

Edit 75,000 miles I didn't see it at the top.

Is that a manual shift plate on that thing? For an auto. It looks like it was used to cover the aftermarket shifter. It's nice. It needs a new hood and that rediculous air cleaner should be ripped off of there. Look at all the scuff marks on the drivers side sill panel.

It's a nice car depending on the price. Mint I think not.

Maybe it's just me, but i think that thing is a load.

I paint for a living, and i'm picky, but i can see some big boo boo's on that car.

The pic with the caption, "Clean and straight". But the molding is crooked as hell. The fat "newer" style moldings are pricey. I work for GM and get damn near cost and they were $120 in '94. (Six pieces) A good bodyman/painter would have droped a piece of tape down and made sure thay were staight.

The two tone is not wrapped around the bottom edges of the door. The tire tag is gone. Cracked dash, i guess thats why screwing a huge tack in the top does'nt matter. Signal light covers? The spare tire "well" is not blacked out. A/C swingin'. Hood struts. With all the pics, why no back seat? No stripes.

$20,000, even Canadian,........

95% or whatever it was.............c'mon.


What a waste of a Recaro. Nice seats though.

How many horsepower?

And the gold paint on the rocker panels should go up to the sill plates.

Maybe the pics didn't load for you.
