    Original paint? I don't know.....
    I don't remember ever seeing one of those in bright red - unless it was a Fire Dept. vehicle.

    haha, not with a vinyl roof!
    I'm sure it's all factory option.

    I'd like to see the engine bay, underside and driver seat though...
    Looks to be some quarter panel problems there, or just reflection?

    That's only a 5-digit (+ tenths) odometer. Who's to say it isn't 109,009 miles, or 209,009 for that matter?

    I agree with being sceptical about the miles.

    By that logic, my Toyota has only 7400 miles on it. [​IMG]

    That and it seems like EVERY car I see lately on ebay with a 5 digit odometer is all original miles never turned over :16suspect1:. Seriously if you are going to claim original mileage on a 5 digit car you need to have some sort of documentation to back up your claim.

    People (sellers) have gone completely away from trying to document miles anymore. If it says 100 miles on the clock, that's how they advertise it. You have to watch how they word it too. 9000 original miles......so are the other 200K you don't know about. ALL miles on a car are original...duh. Miles on the clock mean nothing to me. The car tells you everything.

    I agree. This means that my car only has 27,000 miles and my truck only has 10,000 miles. I like it!:rofl2:

    Nice car for sure; hard to believe it's only got 9000 miles on it, but on the other hand, it looks too nice to have 109000. That red, admittedly, would not be my favorite color.

    Yup....that bright red ruins the car and its classic lines IMHO. To me, it's ugly.

    I suspect that bright red is the reason the car might have only 9K on it.
    The owner probably got a lot of ribbing around town when it was new and ended up too embarrassed to drive his pimpmobile around. :biglaugh:

    You may be right, Andy. I know I would NOT want to drive that car around. I'm not kidding either....that car just looks wrong!:(

    Don't you guys know ALL cars/trucks look better red? :rofl:
    Seriously, if you got rid of the vinyl top it would look alot better. It might of been something like the fire chiefs car.
