1983 Turbo Coupe on Death Row

Found this while searching ROW52~

A little too far away for me.
I've been contacting some "Parts Pullers" to at least get a few parts from it, Before it goes... Sigh.

DOHC eh? In all seriousness, definitely a shame. Vent windows, ground effects, fog lights. Looks like it used to have some headlight covers. If it's a 5 speed, I could  use the shifter boot trim piece. I have a later one in my car and the grain doesn't match.

I'd love to have the header, lights, bumper cover, and side spats. Not too proud to admit they'd get put right onto my '88 Sport...

What parts did you want? 

Rodsterh, I'm very confused by the timeline on this car. Pictures from the 13th of Nov show intact fog lights, no covers, and a grille.  The picture you posted shows no grille, headlight covers, and smashed fogs.

  Am I missing something?

Def the same car in both pics, same ID # on bumper in both too, but i agree the missing grille, broken fogs etc are kind of strange.....

Er... .
WAS interested in the fog lights/brackets. Whats the point of breaking them???
But mostly interested in the Spoiler and Side Skirts and some Smaller Stuff.

Also interested in the headlight covers. Odd that they aren't in the first pic.

Haven't heard back from any parts pullers. And It's been in the yard almost 2 months, Which is 1 month longer than they tend to keep them (Lynnwood PNP at Least).

400mile round trip is just too far (unless they actually let me buy the WHOLE car ;))

If anyone makes the trip or gets a hold of a parts puller, Please let me know!

No idea, I'm as confused are you are.  The picture with the covers came from over on Four Eyed Pride. 

Just wish the car was on my coast.

yeah, that's a bit disappointing, I was willing to make the drive for the fog lights.  :)  I'll have to think about those vent windows though...
