so, sunday morning somebody bought wifeys 97 avalon i put on CL for giggles. we debated on getting a fixer-upper 93imp(thanx for the help today guys). I called this guy on this 86 gl and went to see it. I fell in love..............
apparently the guy has been out of town for the last few weeks and his wife put it on CL and he got like a hundred calls on it. he just got in this morning and this afternoon(after looking at the ad 5-6 times) i gave him a call. one other kid had seen it and called back in tears cuz his mom wouldnt buy it for him, saying " the first ************* to see that thing is gonna buy it.":grin: $950 factory chrome kit, 185000 miles carby, no ps. still has orig. bill from dealer and a folder FULL of receipts dating back to 86'.

Now that is a SWEEEET find, and d/r too! Count the number of turns lock to lock of the steering wheel, if its 4.8 then its got the variable rack. No need for power steering (got one in my 86').

Could I Ask about those Chrome Panels? ... Were they an Option?

Where Could I Find a Set?

Nice Wagon;
Kind Regards.

[Subruise]

they were an option and i have no idea where to get a set

ive never seen another subie with them. the car also came with 4 mudflaps and a ski rack($800 option) from the dealer.

its wierd, im putting the big wheels on "my car (91 loyale 2" lift)" and i still love driving the gl.

Thank you for your Answer...

That Chrome Panels Look very Californian... I Remember when I was Child, to see some 1980's Cadillacs with Chrome Panels alike, but they also had under-car Neon Lights, that make a "Floating Effect" by Night... Have you Seen That?

Kind Regards.

Awesome find! Off the subject question, will those beauty rings fit any Suby wagon style rims? Congrats again! Cheers!

[thatswhatshesaid]

That's really sweet. Those beauties are getting tougher to find (in decent condition) every day. I sure miss mine. You make me jealous of EA owners!
