Nice looking, well optioned C/S on E-bay:
J code, A/T, P/S, P/B, A/C. Seller says all original, not restored - BUT - the 1996 Registry for this VIN 8R01J162519 says it was "Completely restored". Restored or not:undecided , a nice looking, well optioned car.

The pictures are so bad it's hard to tell much.

Further observations:
1.) I sent the seller the info that the '96 Registry stated about restoration having been done, just to help him be as accurate as possible. He responded that they were told it was all original when they purchased it, and he didn't believe it had been restored.
2.) Incorrect radiator - no hold down bracket as with factory A/C cars.
3.) Aftermarket heater water control valve installed. (Looks new, though)

It still looks like a nice car, but not unmolested IMHO. I would also have highlighted the convenience group - the 4 indicator lights in the console. A VERY rare (and valuable) option.

...It's location in Sunnyvale, CA (SF Bay Area) might make it easy for someone here to go look at it. The $18K "Buy it Now" doesn't seem unreasonable to me for such a well-optioned car restored or not.

Neil, you bring up some excellent points with your "picky(ness;-)
