1986 Coupe GT, my wife says it must go. I am located in Alexandria, VA about
10 miles SW of DC.

I purchased this car a few weeks ago on Ebay, thinking it most likely had
the infamous Spare Fuse #24 problem. Well it doesn't. Here is what I have
been able to determine.

Under the Hood: The car starts and runs. It runs rich. I found a 4mm allen
key located near the fuel distributor, I also found a very large crack in
the Air Intake boot. I'm guessing that the PO turned the mixture way up to
compensate. The car is missing the alternator... entirely, bolts and all.
The fuel pump is jumpered in the fuse box, so I am guessing that the FPR is
out. It is the 3spd auto. There don't appear to be any leaks from the
engine/ tranny. The belt is off the AC compressor and the pulley only turns
about 90* before locking.

Interior: The interior is in good/fair condition. There are no cracks in the
dash (it has the Digital dash which appears to work (it registers 0 mph
anyway). The turn signals and hazards do not work, I suspect the Relay there
as well as the wiring seems okay. The windows roll up and down (power
windows). The sunroof crank handle is broken. The driver's seat does not
lean forward.

Exterior: Rust free, pretty straight body. There is a small bit of bondo in
the P-side fender (as evidenced by crack there). The tires and wheels (14"
Ronals 1 missing centercap) are in good shape, the tires appear fairly new.
The P-side door handle is broken, you can only open the door from the
inside)

I've tried to be as accurate and forthcoming as possible. If you have any
questions please contact me. I do have photos of the car, please email me.
