After a two month waiting period on the other 35th I was going to buy I finally gave up and found another 35th 5 speed. I picked the car up this morning in Ft. Lauderdale with Rick and his son. It is a 90 35th 5 speed, one owner, original paint, all promotional materials including 2 sets of 35th keys, NEW unused 35th floor mats still in bag, all emblems, centercaps, door panels, and trunk mat. It is a 5 speed with 109K and needs minor work to be a really nice car, no rust, no major dents, just a straight, clean 5 speed.

Here are pics of the car from this AM when we picked it up and now at home with its twin brother :)

Nice score Nick. Look forward to seeing it in person! Any time you can purchase a 15 year old car from the original owner is definitely a plus :)

Nick, nice buy... As Bryan said always nice to buy from the original owner, that’s what I did with the 93. I have a 35th. car cover with tote bag if you need it let me know. Bought it awhile ago, looks like it's been used just a couple of times. Did you sell the 924?

I have always liked the 35th anniversary model. I had a 30th anniversary 85 Tbird before I purchased the 89 SC. The first SC I took on an overnight test drive was a 35th auto. Put like 120 miles on it... the dealer wasn't too happy when I returned it the next morning:D Especially when I told them it was a no sale!

Well, got alot done tonight. I got the car on jack stands and the teardown has begun. I have got the complete interior out of the car and going to get redone tomorrow. I have a really good guy which I have used before. He is going to re-do the two ft seats, 60/40 split and rear seat bottom on leather, suede and blue piping for $500.

I am going to do the HG's on the car while I have the interior out, hence the hood is off and the teardown of the motor has begun. I will paint every bracket, bolt, washer, ect so when I put this car back together it will look better than new.

Luckly, the body is perfect and needs nothing but a good buffing and detailing. I am sending the wheels out this week to be re-finished at a cost of $125 a wheel. I know it seems like it is kind of expensive but, these guys do an awsome job and I am sure they will not destroy the 35th emblems in the centercaps.

In about 2-3 months, this will be one nice 35th for sure!
