1985 Spider Veloce

This is not my car but I went and looked at it today; located in Zachary, LA (Baton Rouge area). It is a red 85 with a good body / wretched black interior. Sun faded and has a couple of quarter sized rust spots. Couldn't find any rust in the undercarriage or important spots. Gauges good, has hte A/C system all intact. Top mechanism and other interior hard parts are all in good condition.

Other issues - the owner likes spray paint and cheap hose. For whatever reason he painted the AFM and the valve cover silver and oversprayed onto the body. Like I said, needs a paint job anyway, but it tells a lot.

It would run if you installed four new runner hoses; he might do that this week. Not sure where he's getting his parts as he informed me those hoses were $50 each. He's into the car about $2k - which includes a bunch of new parts - and hopes to get that out of it; I offered $1k and he said he'd hold off.

This is a good bodied car for someone needing it. It needs an interior and a paint job but wouldn't take a lot to get driving.

If you want pics or contact info I'll send them via email.

Wow he wants $2000 for a non runner that needs paint and interior? Good luck with that! The $1000 you offered seems too high. For $2500 I can get nice running S3's all day long.

I'll admit it was a sympathetic offer. I felt bad for the car.
