Seems easily worth $7K starting bid with no reserve. Will sell. A few interesting notes and oddities, but nothing outright disturbing. It left the factory in Lagoon Blue (L12 code), changed to red before Oct-2011. Also removed painted (not tape) "Special" style pinstripes shown in registry pics. Rear cover latch pins also gone now, so cover either repaired to fill in holes (without a trace), or not the same cover. Was it re-repainted red over red (over blue)? Notes mention paint looks only fair, but most recent repaint would have been since registry pics or someone went through a lot of effort to remove some decent looking pinstripes, so red repaint #2 would appear to be within last 12 years.
For some reason, moved the battery from left side to center back, and apparently lost the rear luggage box (that's unfortunate). It is curious about headlight covers gone and no trace of mountings - why would you not want them? Also a bit curious why Minilite rims shown in registry pics now are what looks like Wolfrace rims front and something else rear in eBay pics given both were aftermarket, but ad does mention "5 additional rims and tires are included in the sale." Maybe end up with at least four that all match? Almost like it isn't the exactly the same car, but sn says it is.
BTW, either has to be a 4-speed or someone changed it from original - no 5-speed until TCS. I'm betting original 4-speed. But for $7K no reserve, nothing would stop me if I wanted a TC. Worth that in spare parts alone even if it is missing the trunk box, ashtray and boosters. Expect it will go for more. If not, someone stole it.
