I bought her off a collectors car guy who bought it at a car show just for the hell of it from the original owner. Only thing done to it is that it has a 91-92 style spoiler for some reason. I guess the original aero one got messed up and they decided not to get another.
Sorry hard to get pictures its been raining a lot lately.

Payed 4k for that too, and it had 47,000 miles on it. There's no standard for third gens, you gotta call them like you see them.

I know I might have payed more than a lot of you would have but I like the car, I think I got my moneys worth. I got it from the original owner the engines running strong and the tranny shifts nicely. It needs a little tlc but what third gen doesn't. I'm no idiot I know what I was doing, I knew the price was a little high but I really dont care. If you want to say I got ripped on the price go ahead, I dont think I got ripped on the car.

I wouldn't say you did either, just poking fun

Maybe I should use more smilie thingies next time sheez.

The fact that you bought the car from the original owner and know the history is worth something definitely. You do get what you pay for.

Nobody's rippin' on the car man, they're just joking around.

I just meant 3rd gens can get a good price now if you have a nice one and find the right buyer.
Gunmetal metallic is my favorite color and I'm sure it's a sweet ride.

Post some more pics and bring that baby to the next GTG.

The thing about buying or selling a car is... It is worth what someone is willing to pay for it or let it go for. I remember a month or two ago there was an 82 Pace car at Barret-Jackson that went for like 16K (might have been more or a bit less) but my point is the guy that purchased it was happy.

As long as you happy with what you got.. That is all that matters. Also we are talking rust free (or minor rust) California cars here.

Sounds like a nice one owner car to me.
