Well that was quick...

I just bought a 1988 Turbo Coupe!!!!! I am pretty excited. Its got 67,000 miles on it and the underneath is so clean you could eat off of it. It was only $3,800 and came with a ton of extra parts. I am picking it up on Sunday. Its gonna be a long day tomorrow...

Here are some pics from the autotrader ad, I will get some better ones on Sunday:

It was in Oswego and it originally came from New Jersey, I'm pretty surprised that it is as rust free as it is.
