"the paint is still like it was painted yesterday..."
Which would explain all the overspray.

Re: Wow, Nice Coupe on Ebay
Its been up before and failed to sell (as in meet the reserve). It is a very nice car in pictures.
The interior is really lacking with the rear seat being gone and the Honda seats. The IP is rough and missing lots of parts like the rotating diffusers on the outside vents, bummer about the speakers cut into the door panels and the carpet is sad. I wonder what the little button is on the side of the center console (unfortunate that such a rare part has been mangled). I am wondering about the roll bar, I don't think I have ever seen one with such a large crushed area like this one has near the rear mounts. The outside mirror looks to be utterly useless and should have been chrome not painted, the over riders should have been eliminated they look like crap without the rubber bumpers.The wipers will need to be stripped to get them back to silver along with the headlight surrounds (which should be chrome and black in the "hex" grill areas between each lamp). Love the wire tied fog light switch floating in space.
The mechanicals appear decently sorted aside from the low rider exhaust system. Not liking the gas pedal even a little bit or the tiny little horn push button in that steering wheel (or the steering wheel). The A509s, although one of my favorite tires of all time, are well past their use date. The overspray is in a lot of odd places.
I was very tempted to bid on this car as it would be a great starting point but it is going to need a fair amount of additional investment to make it right. Don't get me wrong, if any of my cars looked that good I would be very proud and happy, but at that price (and climbing) one can be a bit picky.

Re: Wow, Nice Coupe on Ebay
It's nice but not what he wants nice. Still it would be cheaper probably to buy this than to redo one. I will say that good thing it is a hard top as the rollbar would do nothing to save you. It would punch right up threw the floor if it rolled in a spider.
Looks like honda crx seats not to bad looking in there and like he said way more supporting.
