Looks amazingly clean! Even with the non-running condition it seems like a steal to me. You never see these cars anymore.

...investigating shipping options...

You are complicating my week...
You can thank me later with a nice sarsaparilla.
BIN 1500? Good lord.....
I think that car needs a F2T...

Woody, are you really going after this? I am sorely tempted.
I got an email back from the seller. He said it's very solid, no dents, maybe a few dings, good glass and original paint. Unfortunately, it's green, not silver as it appears in the photos. I hate green. If it were brown, I would have hit the BIN twelve hours ago.
I'll probably regret it, but I think I'm going to pass. I'd be all over it if I could get my trailer there and back in a day, but that's not going to happen.
My parents bought a new brown 626 Luxury sedan in 1981. I remember looking for a used coupe in 1985 and I could only find one for sale back then. This is probably the best one left. Finding parts would be a nightmare. I've sold cars in the past because I couldn't find a gas tank and I don't want to be in that position again.
I never knew these existed . . . a good looking coupe.
My parents had one for a while when I was about 19. I loved it. I'd be tempted by the right one for sure.
Back in 1980 I almost bought a new one. Think BMW 2002 but a little more modern shape.
Everyone has excuses, but I am put off by the sunroof. If it quit working, or doesn't work, you'd have very little hope of fixing it.
One of the reasons I bought my '88 turbo was that it had a slick top.
That was the first power sunroof car I was ever in. I loved it.
Needs 1uzfe.
No, that car actually needs to stay the way that it is, only running.
I have never ever seen one of these before. That is a very cool car. Go on Woody, just do it.
I used to work with a guy -years ago- that drove one of these. I really liked they way they looked +RWD and have wanted one ever since. Sadly, I might have seen one other on the road in the last 25 years. Too bad they weren't more popular and sold more/longer so we could all have a shot at owning one (and with enough used parts to keep them going..).

In the past two weeks, I've bought a motorcycle and a Subaru. It's just not a great idea for me right now.
Kinda neat, but I'd hate going everywhere and having people say to me, "What year K car is that?"
Well Woody when it rains it pours, found a second green one for you to fret over the colour, more money but better condition...
Or a silver-blue one

It's actually a relief that they're out there. Now find me a brown '81 with RX-7 alloys!
Seems like a great candidate for wrapping in whatever color you want. Metallic orange? White? Might look nice on Panasports. Just saying, I have no dog in this.

Paint is easy and RX-7 alloys are a dime a dozen. Sounds like excuses to me. I do like brown cars as well, but don't like the -7 alloys. So many better choices. I have some almex alloys that would look way better on that car and have the same 4x110mm bolt pattern but still the unfortunate 13 " size.
This is killing me.
