Says it only has 27k actual mileage. Only 2 pictures and both of the interior. Anyone want to venture out and look at it? 27k mile 914

Not too far from me.

I have time tomorrow afternoon. If anyone is interested I'll try to contact the seller.

looking at that inner sail panel, what color is it? turquoise?

Hard to tell the color but the price he is asking seems a little low for a true 27k mile car.

about $10k too low in todays pricing. what little you can see does look nice.

He's asking around 4500.00 for it. According to his mom....

you'll have about 6K in spare cash after offloading one

everythings possible thought

Ok, I got a reply from the seller ... I'll swing by there tomorrow afternoon and snap some pics.

Exterior, battery tray, trunks ... anything else you want to see?

If it is anywhere as nice as the pics suggest, don't take pics, buy it!!

If it is really an orginal 27k mile car, you would be foolish not to. Ebay would bring 12 to 15k for that car I am sure.

"LOST OUR STORAGE"

If they only have 2 pics of it, is it because it is piled up with crap? How long has it been in storage?

I'd go in on it for an ebay sale too. My gut tells me that it was stored cause something is FUBAR. At a minimum, the tank is varnish.

I am serious about going in on it. Let me know if you want to share the wealth.

I spoke to the seller and It sounds like it is worth the money. I am sending a deposit tommorrow. Stop by when I comeover for the LA lit meet and pay the remainder.
Thanks Scott.

I cant believe I saw it before you Craig, I figured this was right up your alley. So are you going to pick it up and bring it down with you? I would like to see this car if you do.

Well Scott thats what happens when I am down here, I don't hit the keyboard as much.
Ed said that he would go over and take a look. I owe you one Ed. That will tell me if I go over on Saturday.
Thanks again Scott. How did the car in Costa Mesa?? turn out?
The one in the storage locker covered with crap.

I passed on it, it was not worth the batteries to take pictures of.

Ok, here are the pics ...

Wow, it really was a 27k mile car!!!! Craig, this one I have got to see. I only wish I had the money to buy it. I dont care for the Pedrini wheels or whatever those are, but the rest of the car looks great and original. Excellent buy!!

Inside of rear decklid. This was when I started thinking that 27k original miles was probably accurate. Front and rear trunks look pretty darned new to me.

Stop, stop, I can't take any more. Craig got another one! It really is Craig's list.
Shame about the side trim but he doesn't deserve perfection.
He can even take it skiing.

Ok, here's the not so pretty stuff ... the engine compartment. When I opened the engine lid, the rain tray was unattached and resting inside it. The seller wasn't home, so I didn't get to hear it run.

Actually, it doesn't look so bad in the pictures ... light was fading when I took them, so I guess it was just scarey in the dark.

Battery tray ...

Oh, I see rust in the hell hole. How bad is it? The car looks clean otherwise.

Underneath the battery tray. Gotta love these little digital cameras.

Was hard to tell in the fading light ... but from that first shot of the battery tray, I'm actually not too confident of what's all the way down in there. Stuck my hand down in there and didn't feel any flaking, but after looking closely at that shot I may not have gotten it all the way down there.

Let's look at the underside ...

Underside, driver's side, just fore of the rear wheel.

Well, actually, that looks like all surface rust to me. I was worried there would be a hole but I dont see any. I would bet it is as solid as any other car. I say its a keeper.

Still looking pretty good to me. Worth at least 10k on the bay.

I meant to take a closer look at those clear tubes hanging down on the passenger side in that last shot, but completely forgot. Looks like it was an apparatus for bleeding the brakes.

Tranny ...

Underside of the front of the car.
