I pulled the trigger
 
After six months of daily scouring listings, making phone calls, and looking at cars, I found the one that fit the bill.

It's an 83 with about 144k miles. I'm the fourth owner. Records back to the 2nd owner. I've had it out a few times in the past week, and I'm thrilled with it.

Thanks to all of you who have responded to my inquiries and provided guidance. By the time I found this one I felt like I could make a reasonably uninformed decision, as opposed to a totally ignorant decision. Here's a pic:

Very Nice - Way to go!

Thanks! Hell yeah, it's going to be a great summer! Kid, it is indeed Chiffon and brown--colors I can live with for a while, for sure.

'83 SC Coupe? Great choice!

That colour scheme, while perhaps not in the mainstream of desirability, actually look pretty good if in good repair.

Nice find and enjoy your adventure. :)

I love the colour combination. Don't rush to make any changes. Apart from the desire to keep the originality you might find that it grows from "I can live with for a while" to "I wouldn't change it at all".

I used to own a Pewter Metallic 82SC with brown interior. At first I hated the interior colour but after a while I really loved it. Jeez I miss that car.....

Your car looks nice. Enjoy!!

Nice choice. Enjoy.

I think that's a GREAT color combo, best of luck with her!

NY65912 03-30-2010 09:17 AM

Sweet, congrats.

Don't listen to any of your buddies and do track days. It will only end up with you butchering a nice car.......ask me how I know.

Good Luck

You are living the dream now!

Excellent! LOVE chiffon white.

Super_Dave_D 03-30-2010 10:49 AM

Looks awesome - the only thing I would change would be to remove those "shark fin" stone guards. Just my opinion.
