    Yes. Also look like a previous owner was a car guy. Could have had an alarm system installed...look above tripminder for a potential valet switch and LED. Curious what that bit is below above mentioned gauge pack is?

    Must be a late 87 build as I just now noticed it has the 'newer' style dash registers for the HVAC.

            A Colony Park popped up for sale. Fires up but fuel pump might be dead. Great price if it's solid. I'm damn tempted but I have no place for it and it and it's 700km away.

              Looks like it might be interesting but if you have no room it would be a moot point. At almost 450 miles it becomes a long road trip on a "maybe".

                Yup, even more so since 700km one way is quite a long road trip in Finland. To put it in perspective, that's about two thirds across the country, lengthwise. There and back is 1,5x across the country.

                  Yeah, I can perfectly see why you are not excited about the prospect. Too bad the car was not closer or it would have been worth it just for a look see.

                    Yeah... that's quite the hike. That round trip would be like my vacation down to the beach. I split that into a two day drive as well because I stopped in Houston to pick up my mom. Was about 470 miles (756 km) each way.

                                Regarding the side mirror. The package says it is for a car with vent windows. Don't know why a different mirror would be needed . I see it comes with the screws which is a real plus. Don't see the body to mirror gasket or the base plate for inside the door. Decent price.
                                Nice find, hard to find without corrosion at the mirror head.
