Nice car, but the seller is FOS, the Twilight Blue is likely the most common color for '88... Counting the daughters, I owned three out of 11 total... The other three I owned were '87s and they did have a different dark blue...

EDIT

Oops, I was wrong, four of those TC were Twilight Blue...

I always thought the rarest color was the metallic sandalwood (for '87-'88 Turbo Coupes).

Interesting idea with the air cleaner, too bad it's an auto:barf:

Still, I'd take a Fox over an S-197 any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.  Oops, I already did.

That is a color which is hardly seen... But I'd think the bright red that was only available the last three months of '88 production was the rarest... Actually there was suppose to be a pewter/bronze available at that time as well but, AFIKno one has ever seen one that color...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Thats what I though too.

Thanks for the kind words. It's a great car - a true BMW fighter of it's day. They seem to be more rare the SVO's of late. Runs perfect/low miles - def. an investment/collector-grade car for the right buyer
