I spotted this drop dead georgous coupe on Ebay a couple of days ago. If I had 20k to play with I'd buy it in a heart beat! Has to be about the best one I've seen yet.

An absolute must to check out.

Good spot up Stickman!

It's on my list of wants, but I'd want better for this money personally (assuming the mileage is not accurate)...I'm such a tight-wad (apparently) :D . For $35k you'd get a magnificent JDM GT-5. Very nice little cars, even down to the 1600S hardtop. Got this one on my watch list now.

Cheers,
Duane

EDIT: Supply and demand...here's what they're really worth:

...and another! Rare cars, yes, but Boom-Town Western Australia price for a restoration project:

These are on my wanted list, I'd consider this car at half this price, though I'd prefer it be a nice registered runner for the $15k being asked.

:lol: My budget and the average price of a nice classic car seem to be heading in opposite directions, that's for sure. I haven't bothered updating my wanted ad, my work has been very proppy the last few months, so cars are off the essentials list...doesn't mean I can't look though!

I passed up a rusty 1600S Hardtop (RT51, I think) on Magnetic Island, back in 1990 for $700...so there's another around somewhere. Someone on this forum has an RT55 too.
