If only. Reply #4 – August 28, 2013, 12:23:07 PM I was going to post about this being on bringatrailer.com. Somewhat significant that this got the attention of both sites. Quote Selected

The keys I see in the pictures look like the correct O.E. rubber coated keys to me. I did notice that at least one tire has been re-balanced as the factory weights are not there, and the battery is not original but that is to be expected. I would like to have seen the date codes on the tires. Quote Selected
If only. Reply #10 – August 29, 2013, 10:18:22 AM Biggest question, why is there an exhaust leak? It seriously can't be rust...Quote from: TheFoeYouKnow;420753I know, right?I've been thinking myself to get a lower milage 5-speed TC before they're all gone. And this would be perfect. To be honest, way too perfect for me. I would like to modify my TC. This, it would be a shame to even change the wheels on it. Quote Selected

It seriously can't be rust....If it was started occasionally but not driven long enough to sufficiently warm everything up, a build-up of condensation could have accumulated in the bottom of the ler(s) and started rotting it out from the inside.

I had a neighbor who used to go out & start her car every week in the parking lot and run it long enough to smoke her cigarette then shut it off without ever turning a wheel. It would have been better to have filled it full of gas & disconnected the battery and left it sit for those two years than to have done that in my opinion.Ron Quote Selected

The Turbo Coupes had a balck rubber head on the key that said Turbo.It sold for $10.5K. Not bad. Quote Selected
