    Default 86 Lx coupe 5.0 5 speed

    So I’ve been looking for a coupe for awhile, found one to rebuild. Owner couldn’t sell it, no one wanted to take it on and was gna send it to scrap. Well I purchased the car off him. And want to know a little about it. Car was crashed so there is no buck tag, owner ripped it apart and lost most interior pieces and never recovered the built sheet. I got a vin and a door tag only. I did some searching and I know it’s a Lx sedan 5.0 5 speed car. 8.8 factory car with 3.08 gears. Jalapeño red color, which if I searched correctly only 284 made. Any other info I’m missing, thanks.Name:  43BCECB0-1CBD-4D17-B732-CF4670A8308C.jpg

    Thanks for the fast reply foxchasis. Always interesting to see the dso. So it was ordered by a pittsburgh dealership, which is pretty interesting seeing how I lived about an hour away my entire life. Gonna run a marti report on it in the future.

    Pittsburgh was just where the "district sales office" was located. Districts covered wide areas...more than just a city. Many dealers within that district were not actually in Pittsburgh.
