If I was wealthy, I'd buy it. I like that a lot, and it seems to have been properly built. Plus, you'll never run into another guy who has one.

There must have been more than three versions - that ad says there was an 88 Turbo Coupe version (Ebony winged). an 88 Mark VII LSC (Golden wing) and an 88 XR7 (Jade wing), yet the car offered for sale is none of the three
2015 Mustang GT Premium - 5.0, 6-speed, Guard Green - too much awesome for one car

Even if I google this car, I don't find anything on it.  Must be highly rare.

30 year old pictures when selling a car.
That thing has probably been standing on his lawn in front of the house for all these years and the only thing worth salvage is the ashtray.

Saw it on FB...issues with the sale aside, gimme gimme!!! Very cool IMO. A dark-colored 4-eye bird is slick enough, the doors just take it to a new level.

I think it's pretty cool too (except for that whole "needing 3 parking spaces thing" that Delorian owners found out). I agree though, it's pretty lazy to ask that kind of money and not take some pictures.

I do have to question the seller's authenticity. There a few cars he has for sale, none of them are "real world' pics, no detail shots.

Good call. I didn't even look at his other auctions. This one is a red flag:

The vin says 89 super coupe, the description says 87 turbo coupe. And again, no "real" pictures.

I would have to push into my garage. No way I could get out of it in the garage.
