New Spider coming my way tomorrow
Seller sent me a photo of it being loaded onto a trailer. It's an '87 Veloce with about 28,000 miles on it. Blue/tan.
I'm excited. Should have it tomorrow. More photos then.

Looks great. Appears you are doing the opposite of what I did with mine. I bought mine in Dallas and took it north. Looks like this is one from a more northern location being taken to Dallas

It is good to be wary but there are a lot of very nice rust free sports cars up north with low miles and no cracked dashes etc. We just put them to sleep for the winter.

Another photo from the seller's camera phone just before the car was loaded up today.

What kind of sneaker is that reflecting in the fender just to the front and above the front wheel arch? (PO prolly standing in/on trailer taking downward angle pic)
Look like a black Converse w/white laces and sole, but the could be any number of brands now a days, but hey, at least you know the paint shines |

Thanks all! Interior shots as soon as it arrives (no sense posting his photos). The carpet is faded, so I'll be doing something about that soon. I'm going to look into dying it, depending on how bad it is, but I will probably wind up replacing it with black carpet (not something I want to do, but given the original brown carpet is nonexistent...)
Tifosi, I'm not seeing the sneaker you're seeing!
