Stunning color combination, and the drivetrain is glorious....

Anyone know this car? Does the $73k buy-it-now seem reasonable if the quality of the restoration checks out?

I have a buddy that has one of these lemans blue with the same interior. white rag top with a hard top as well and I think he wants 100 grand. So this seems cheaper I guess

Love the car, tried to buy the twin sister to this with a M40. Couldn't convince the owner..... this was in '86

Not sure on dealer. He bought it from a guy here in Mi that restored a long time ago and put it in a bag.

Not the same car sold mine about 10 years ago and was not restored. The car was blue blue 435 conv. vinyl hard top and side pipes

I'd want a tank sticker and an optional hardtop before I paid that $$ number. But if real, that is an apex alpha C3 right there!

Pad looks nice, but you would sure like some paperwork and judging history at that number.

----Saw some small stuff to correct, but no deal breakers for a price in that general vicinity. Headrests would have been nice, and tilt+tele is a necessity for me. Would love to check the trim tag as black was special order. A close friend of mine (since passed) ordered this color combo with a 390hp/M21 combo. Couldn't come up with the bucks when the car came in and had to pass. I saw the car and it had pinstripe white walls and it really brought out the color combo...…..Bill S

Seats should have headrests, and too early vin for side pipes, but a pretty car.

Love it.

It does needs stripe or letter tires IMO. Black wall tires on a black car never did it for me.

That interior sure pops.

My favorite color combo! The pad photos look ok. As stated it would be nice to have some judging sheets, a tank sheet, or at least a photo of the Trim TAG.
