86 Coupe GT

[Alan Kramer]

I'll chime in here too... way too much $$$ for what you describe.

Here's some data points on my purchases:

#1 - '83 CGT - Almost showroom condition, rust free, no accidents, needed 2 
front struts: $1200

#2 - '85 CGT - Damage on A pillar & broken windshield.  All else OK.  $120.

#3 - '85 CGT - Warped head.  Rest of car perfect.  Brand new exhaust.  $300.

#4 - '86 CGT - Repainted.  NG motor transplanted.  Did not run.  $350

#5 - '86 CGT - Ugly paint.  One small rust spot, needs struts, no accidents. 
4 brand new tires. $190.
