    automatic, it shows 33,xxx miles but who knows how many times its rolled over.  The vinyl top is in excellent condition but the passenger side vert top frame is broken.  The interior is completely out of the car except for the drivers seat.  It wreeks of mouse piss.  Tires are brand new 10 year olds!!  starting a list of needs, so far the top frame seems to be the hardest to find

    Re: I found it in a Barn!

    Congrats on  the find Terry!    Hey, I just want to throw this out there, if you want to get into the parting out business.  Because finding that top frame is going to be expensive most likely.   I just happened to see a 1989 LX convertible on facebook marketplace in the STL area.  They are asking 2000>   It looks to be a whole running halfway decent looking car.   Might have a complete interior.  Part out the rest?    Just thinking outloud...

    Greg

    Edit:  I am trying to post a link.  Have no idea if this will work.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Re: I found it in a Barn!

    If you get it and its rust free there's one section of the body I'd be interested in: right side door pillar (behind the fender).

    Re: I found it in a Barn!

    The top frame on my 90 was broken. I fixed it with some patch plates made of aluminum, jb weld and pop rivets. It worked fine. Key thing is to make sure all pivot points actually will pivot!

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
