After a long search that become rabid in the last few months, I finally got my hands on one of these things. A black '87 coupe, as it were, an hour from where I live (much to my surprise).
It is, quite simply, the most enjoyable car I've ever owned. I've always liked them, and always enjoyed the few miles I've put on other peoples examples, but boy. The sound, the smell, the balance, the way they look good dirty. If I had known, I'd have bought one years ago (even though I kind of tried). It's clear why more than one seller backed out...
I intend to drive it, maintain it in top form, and not worry about cosmetics, originality, and resale. Try and pry it from me anyway.
