I saw that on FB also.  Those seats look hammered.  Will it bring 9k$?

I dunno, lots fishy about it, to me.  Front left corner lamp, seats, dash, horn button.  In one of the hood photos, looks like it was re-sprayed at some point.  I'm not a 'bird guy, so not sure where this one will end.  It's already past what I would have paid, though.

The blue one that ended yesterday with 37k miles was stellar in comparison.

Yes, the left front turn signal is wonky, horn button has a broken tab, dash is cracked (both common problems), seats are faded but the car is 32 years old. It must of seen a lot of sun exposure.
When I bought my 88 back in 2001, the dash was cracked and the seats were faded. Extensive junkyard searches yielded a crack free dash which is very hard to find, I bet 90-95% of the cars I looked at had a cracked dash, regardless of color especially if the car had been there any length of time because face it, it’s sitting in the sun every day. Finally found a red one that was pristine and have always used a windshield shade to protect it if the car was outside. My car is a sunny day only ride and lives in a garage when not being driven. I located some seats from a car that saw a lot of garage time. I had to replace my horn button as well somewhere down the line.
