1987.5 Special Build Coupe GT - $2500
I am the second owner of a 1987.5 Special Build Coupe GT. My uncle bought it brand new and passed it on to me a few years back. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car, but a growing family (and a bad knee) are forcing me to sell it. I am asking $2000, but all reasonable offers will be considered. It is 30 years old after all. The car is located in Spokane, WA.
2.3 I5 engine (code NG)
5-speed manual
Digital dash (works perfectly)
Alpine white
177k miles
Two owner car
Cloth seats
No cracks or warping in the dash or plastic
THE GOOD: here is a partial list of parts I have put into it and work that I have done:
THE BAD: remember it's a 30 year old car.
PM me if interested.

THE GOOD: here is a partial list of parts I have put into it and work that I have done:
- fuel pump
- timing belt, water pump and idler pulley
- plugs, wires, cap and rotor
- complete radiator assembly including expansion tank
- heater core
- rebuilt and flow tested injectors
- CV shafts
- brakes (front and rear)
- wheel bearings (front and rear)
- O2 sensor
- knock sensor
- flushed and cleaned the gas tank
- rebuilt both window motors
THE BAD: remember it's a 30 year old car.
- Idle is a bit rough after it's warm, but it accelerates fine. I could never nail down the problem. I'm guessing it's a vacuum leak somewhere. The compression is good across all cylinders. I do have a spare fuel distributor and metering flap assembly that comes with it.
- The clearcoat is flaking in a spot on the driver's fender. A shopping cart hit it 20+ years ago, and the body shop painted it with a 2-stage paint instead of the original single stage paint. The rest of the paint is slightly oxidized.
- The driver's side seat heater does not work, but the passenger side does. It gets power to both, so I think it's a broken wire.
- The power mirrors don't work despite installing a new switch. The fuse is fine.
- AC needs to be converted to R-134a, so it currently does not have a belt to the AC compressor.
- Left rear emergency brake is seized, but the right still works.
PM me if interested.

I probably will in the Spring. I’m honestly not in a huge rush to sell it, and since it’s not exactly a winter car, I think I’ll have better luck once the weather gets warmer.

Can somebody tell me why this keeps getting marked as sold??? Is there a time limit on classifieds? Seems like the owner of the car should be the only one that can mark the listing as sold, and I haven’t done that.
