Talking of Mercedes colours, anyone know the Mazda colour code that was actually shinier and more metallic than Mercedes silver?

Also looking for BMW bronze, but nvm right now.

This caught my attention. I can't say a common man's 6 series but IMHO the best Acuras ever offered, other than the NSX. This "base" model is such a nice car and with 122K on it , darn good daily driver. I love the skinny A/B/C pillars, such an open greenhouse. If I WAS looking for 3rd car to replace the Miata, this would be it.

I feel like late 80's/early 90's styling either hasn't gotten old enough to look good again... or maybe it never will.

I had a 72 with spoke knock off wheels. It was in pieces when I bought it. Restored it and drove it for 10 years. Use to drive it in winter on bald tires; oh the bold and stupid youth :roflmao: Nothing like driving 5 hours on interstate in winter to college in Oswego NY with marginal tires :eek:

Mileage is fine, but it's over 30 years old; (lots of )too many soft parts will need replacing.
The car looks to have been garaged for many years plus the LA weather plus only at $4450 leaves lots of room for soft part repair. The velour is shockingly beautiful for an LA car.

I think the car will end up in the $6-7K range. IF I was to get another third car...I would be in the bidding mix on this.

I thought this was all the money...but still a good value. Great miles, great condition and pretty darn bullet proof. If you have a big family and need to haul stuff.

That was a bunch of money for a 2 wheel drive. You are so right though; can't beat a mormon wagon for a big family.
