my turbocoupe

I got my Turbo Chicken  out of the garage  last week  after a long nap. It's  a 88 with  118,000 miles and all original  including  paint and  leather. I'm  the second  owner and she's always been  garage kept and covered. XX

Very nice. Sure wouldn't know it has that many miles by looking at it. How long have you owned it?

Thanks guys. I've owned it for 18 years. I bought it from the original owner with 90,000 miles on it. He was a airline pilot and believed in meticulous maintenance. It was a gift to his wife so unfortunately it's an automatic car. He bought a new Motorsport cover when he purchased it new and always kept it garaged and covered. It was the best car I could find at the time I bought it for the money I had. Sometimes I think about changing it to 5spd but I'd hate to change its originality.

very nice!  Looks like my car's twin (except for my 5 speed's dual exhaust).  I also have blue cloth interior instead of your leather, and a tiny bit of rust bubbling up. :(

Nice to have another neighbor around...
