Well, I've finally decided to sell my '91 and buy a soulless appliance of a car.
This is because I now have some physical limitations that make it more difficult to
do the simple maintenance stuff that SHOs need and I don't want to neglect this car.

Here are the details:
The Good:
White/mocha cloth & leather. 105K. Rod shifter (SVO kit installed at the SHO Shop
when they were available), + plastic hood. Recent (mileage-wise) 60K done at the SHO
Shop that included new motor mounts, all new coolant hoses, and the usual 60K stuff.
No mods except for the Alpine/Kenwood stereo and the removed silencer cone. SoCal
car - no rust. Runs great. Easliy passed smog this year.

I've owned this car 10 years now and have always done regular Mobil 1 oil changes
myself. 

The Bad:
A/C needs a recharge but was quite cold when charged and the system had a $1700
rebuild at one time. Only one tiny crack in the "Outside Temp" button, all others
intact. Driver's seat really wants a sheepskin cover. The H rated Dunlops are
getting a little thin. It may be close to time for brakes & rotors but I could do a
front in less time than it takes to jack the car and remove the wheel. Rear window
tint is bubbly. That's all I can think of but may not include everything.

The Ugly: $1500
