It was also the same color and it was equipped with the sport package for 1986 which brought five lug wheels, rear spoiler and a limited slip. This other car had 42k miles and the lack of a sunroof was a plus in my opinion. It was priced a third more than this one and this seems to be where the market is at the moment. \r\n\r\nHope the new owner gets to enjoy this great example. I have owned three of these in N/A form and two of the prior generation in GSL-SE trim and I would definitely like to own both at some point again in the future.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1726693373, "type": "comment"}]
