I understand that you don't want a brown targa with green interior. But don't let the color get in the way too much. In my book, white, silver, black, maroon and dark blue are all acceptable, fairly timeless colors. And a brown interior can always be changed to black, especially once things are worn.

11k is an okay price, it isn't killer cheap though. The car obviously will need some work to get it in nice shape.

I would never buy a car without seeing and driving it myself. If you really move forward on this one, make it pending on a PPI and your personal visit to check things out. A plane trip can help you avoid disaster. Pictures are always great looking.

Would you consider driving up to the SF bay for a car? If you do, please send me a PM. I can do some listening around here for you and would have no problem pre-screening things that are close by.

Did you ever continue researching that 83 12.5k white cabriolet? Is it still available?

There are some SC cars for sale through the local club and I have received some offers directly, because I have looked for a car for my buddy. He has since found a car, so I can pass along that info too, if you want.

Good Luck,

George
