Update I checked out the car (1990 SPG) yesterday. It's not drivable, but I got to talk to the mechanic and learn more about the car's history. Cosmetically, it's in great shape... exterior paint is in "near-new" condition... has one dent (about the size of a quarter) on the upper-right corner of the tail... but otherwise, no rust or any indication it's been in any accident (original owner says it hasn't). Interior "mocha leather" is very nice for the most part... just a bad headliner (which mechanic says he'll have re-upholstered) and a few tiny cracks on the dash. The car was driven first as a daily driver, than later as a weekend warrior. The previous owner supposedly went in a local tire place for new tires (which it now has) and the tire place cracked the oil pan (?). So, he was about to scrap it for a tax writeoff... but the mechanic is going to buy it, fix it up and sell it. If I go with this one, my main immediate upgrade would be a nice stereo system that would be compatible with my iPod. I'm thinking about installing lower than where the current stock one is, and then adding some custom gauges.
