Hello LW2,

Welcome to the forum, I hope you find it helpful & enjoyable.

When you have technical questions/answers, be sure to post them in the vehicle-specific forum. Also, before posting a thread, please do a bit of in-forum search, as you can often find answers to your problems.

Iwish you luck & good day!

P.S: Nice machine, must have been taken excellent care of.


JPN

you don't have to worry about that, I plan on keeping this bad boy up for many many years to come.
what would you value a car like this at?
i've always wondered that but I really have no clue of any ballpark that it'd be in.

thanks.
and by the way.
Would it be possible for me to fit the wheels like in this picture.
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/IMG_0077.jpg

on my car?
I want to fill up the wheel wells more and give it that "euro" look, so i'd also plan on lowering it some.
but that's only if I were to do this.

I don't even know if i'm going or want to, i'm just seeing if it's possible for me to fit those wheels onthe car.

They might fit the only way to find out for sure is to try it.

The only #'s I could come up with asking around would be about 3,000.00.

But I think once the car hits 30 years old it will jump up some.

^My gut instinct would be no. However, based upon the condition of the car, and the low mileage, I think it's one of those rare cars where the value rises over time instead of decreases.

heh, that's good then.
But yeah, it's black on black leather, and the leather is perfect, not a tear/rip or anything.

I would just keep it and watch over time.

Those cars also are one of the ones that either you love or hate the car.
One day you might find someone that really loves it and thinks it is worth alot.
