Default 1985 3.6 5-speed for sale

Appears to be a gray-market import into the USA. I'm tempted....but I can see cubic money being spent to bring this car back to glory

Nice that's it's a coupe, and I love the colours. Haven't personally seen one that colour. I understand SportsPack was introduced later in '87...and this car has the standard-width wheels. What a lovely car.

It's very tempting. Rust would be a big concern. I'd love to buy it but you can't save 'em all. I hope somebody does, though.

I wonder if they have a hoist and could get some underneath shots.

I reached out to the seller for that. Have not heard back.

Go look at this one on E-Bay, item # 203232151590 and stay from that green 5 speed I have been lusting after for about three months now.

Thank you.

The ebay one will make a good parts car(seats) for the green one. I personally prefer looks of 1985's "rear end" (and color - just beautiful).

Edit: I admit. I was unfair to 1993 XJS... both are nice cars. But 1985 is my fav.
