Preserved from CalaisTurbo. Original authors and dates are shown; archived members are not current Holdcom accounts.
I picked up this rare Series 200 for $2000 3 months ago.
I am going to keep her all stock apart from a Calais disc rear end.
The body is faded and the driver side rear quarter is damaged.It has the original hub caps.
The interior is in perfect condition,it has the original radio and everything works.
Next year it will be resprayed in the same colour and will be on the road.
Its a rare car with only 600 made once it is resprayed it will only come out on weekends.Tell me what you think good or bad comments.

Update: I pulled the front struts out and put new shocks in.I got new ball joints pressed into the control arms because they were split.I decided not to lower it, and i put some new tyres on for the roady.
Here is some pics.
I also have a set of custom plates coming in the mail.
