Count me in the "surprised you can't give it away" camp. I saw a ton of cool old cars (on the road even!) when I was in LA last summer. You'd think it'd be easy.

GL and I hope it goes to a good home.

Hell, maybe you'll even end up with some dough for your troubles?

The scrappers are actually bidding on the thing. It's up to $225. One resto guy will match but the original guy who disappeared suddenly reappeared and wants to pick it up Saturday. If he flakes, resto guy takes for $225 (fingers crossed).

I bought a new 900 in 1986, right now I'm shopping for a new car. If I could find a 900 someone's Grandma stuffed in the barn back in '87 money would (almost) be no object. I'm not pleased with today's selections.

What was I thinking? Albany to Detroit in a snow storm, Albany to Detroit in 25 hours of straight driving, Albany to ----- you get the idea.

Find that Grandma 900 and we'll talk.

I can't believe you still have this car. If this was anywhere near me It would be sitting in my garage right now

G-O-N-E.

The owner first saw the car driving an 86 900 Turbo, then came this time in a 9000 Aero. It's still "in the family" so to speak.

I was behind the wheel when we pushed it out of the garage, down the hill and right up the flatbed ramp. That was my "last drive" in the car. I'm sad it ended this way but it had to be.

Now I have a place to install the new / used exhaust system on my '86 Accord so life goes on..........

Hey Dan/914 Driver,

My grandmother actually has an 83 900s. Its got 55K on it and it has been sitting in her garage. Only owner. I want to sell it though (and so does she) How much do you think I could get for it?

I saw an 83 on Ebay for a little over $1K with 138,000 miles on it and its beat down compared to her car. I'll post pics online when it gets light out tomorrow
