Had to refit the A/C system for r134a coolant.. the original used Freon, which is now quite hard to come by.
Thermostat needs to be replaced, as it's no longer quite responsive enough (doing that this coming weekend). This often happens with older cars... a symptom is that the vehicle runs hot when idled or driven easy, but cools off when pushed hard.
Minuscule oil leak, also common on older cars. This is so slow that I don't even need to add any between oil changes.
Do you want to pay $10000 or less for a Porsche?
Do you want modern, expensive, wasteful V8 muscle cars to stare at your receding taillights wondering what just happened?
Do you want a flat torque curve that delivers fierce acceleration not just near the redline, but all through the power band?
Do you want to get 30 mpg in a sports car?
Do you want a head-turner so unique that you'll rarely if ever see another on the road, with a look that blends modern streamlining and classic style?
Do you want to impress women with not just your car or your wallet, but with your taste and discernment?
Do you want a sports car that can serve ably as a daily driver, with a cabin as comfortable as a modern luxury sedan?
Then you want one of these.
Oh, you'll have to do your homework. They haven't all been well-maintained, and the ones that are totally stock are generally somewhat less high-performance than the tinkered-with ones.
Find one that has been somebody's baby all its life. You will very quickly feel the same way.
Such a classy title to this review... and if true, you must park it in a red light district.
Very well written review, couldn't agree more. I spent two years looking for one of these and finally found an 86 N/A with 62,000 miles on it that I paid 7500 for.
Original paint, no rust, no dents, no scratches, all maint records, immaculate shape. I am very happy with it.
