Hope all those Numbers help, here's the meat & potatoes;

It's in rough shape.  The front passenger side corner was involved in a rear
ender accident wrecking the hood, the fender, the grill, the light, the
spoiler/air dam. The intercooler was missed by the narrowest of margins and
is OK.  The engine seems tight but is running rough, the power steering pump
is grinding from lack of fluid - the hoses are shot. Lowsy paint job times
two, wheels are the turbine type 6J15 ET45 with michelin XGT H4's.  The
interior seems complete although dirty, it has a/c, the front bumper is
missing (thanks to the tow truck driver), the car in general seems pretty
solid (good rust-wise for an ontario car - salted roads), rear deck lid
(trunk) reflector is broken but othe rear lights are ok.  The engine and
clutch/transmission seem ok.

This one's not for me but maybe someone on the list?  It's going to need a
lot of effort to bring it back up to snuff. A photo is possibly available
through the autotrader.ca web site, I couldn't get in due to site problems
earlier.

Asking price was/is $8500 CDN. when I commented that I felt that was a bit
steep for the cars condition he basically said   money talks, in such a
manner as to give me the impression that he is negotiable, reasonable and
knows what he has.

His name is John at (416)706-8647, he bought the car from the his client
(John's a mechanic and rally racer) after the client wrecked it. Says he
doesn't have the time or money to fix this one and claims to own another 83
fully restored.  Claims to have suppliers for all necessary parts and
equipment to repair and restore.  Ad is on page C29 of the Toronto area Auto
