1986 Coupe Roller For Sale
This might get long winded,but bear with me. I am going to try and give buyers an accurate,and honest description of the car.
I bought this car a few weeks ago . It was being converted to an aero nose when I got it,so it will either come with the aero nose and hood,or nothing. I don't have an 86 nose or hood for the car. The Car was originally a 4cyl. Rear has been swapped for an 8.8. Brakes seem to be ok. That is as much as I know of the cars mechanics.
The body is fairly solid.It was rust proofed evidently when new. The rust that I have noticed is at the door hinges,and at the bottom rear of the door jamb where the quarter wraps into the jamb. This is all surface rust that has not rotted through. I scraped the spots shown in the pictures with a small pick to see if I could make a hole,and nothing went through.The metal still seems very solid. The doors are rusty at the bottom seems and will probably need to be replaced. The floors look solid with the exception of some very light surface rust at the seams.I didn't get to put the car up in the air to check the floors. I just pulled the carpet back in the corners when I was looking to purchase the car. The frame rails/rad support look very solid,but the lower part of the radiator support has met a few curbs through its life. The car also needs a windshield due to a crack.
It also has an after market sun roof that doesn't seem to leek.
All in all,The car would be a great starter for a project that is for the most part solid. I paid $500 for the car and would like to get most of my money back. The only reason I am selling this is that I have way too many projects,and just found something that runs/drives that I can drive while I am working on it. Thanks,Chris
