Yes as matter of fact, I have the Luck o'the Irish...everything I touch turns to fertilizer of the bovine variety.

It's kind of the 20-foot rule on this car... :D Looks great from 20 feet, but up close there are flaws. Still, there's zero rust on this car, and I'm pretty sure most of the paint is original. No signs of it being hit, but for some glass inside the body I found when putting in the left rear speaker. I'm hoping the window just got smashed. I should carfax the little bugger and get it's history....

Side note: Next to my '04 MINI Cooper S this is the most fun car I've ever had. It's not fast, but just a joy to drive. Funny, I sold the MINI soon after I had a new clutch put in, then bought this car for what that clutch cost me! :D

Beautiful. :D Reminds me of the girl who lived across the street from me back in my SoCal days: She had an '87 Tornado Red Best Seller like yours. It was funny -- Three convertibles across from each other: My white '86, Mom's red '84 and that girl's '87.

Be wary of Carfax: It's not always 100% accurate. It could very well list an accident that never actually occurred and, likewise, not list an accident that occurred. :rolleyes:

And for those not getting the reference:
