Im new here so I guess ill post this!

I picked up my 850 in August, 1996 GLT (leather, auto) with 162k miles for only $1400. The service engine light was on (just a service reminder, seller didn't know that =), AC was dead, classic ABS issue, some other things. But the interior and exterior were and still are perfect :mrgreen: Now has 175k, has some issues but I'm gonna be putting a lot of work into it in the next few months for summer.

You sir have a PM, but so everyone knows...
Plasti dip is your friend! lol.

I originally had a black and chrome, then changed to the black and white in my current sig.
Personally, I am changing back to the chrome once I grab another can of black to redo the other grille, only had one or two coats on it.
and yes, I have multiple grilles! one all chrome, one black and chrome, one black and white.

Here is an old sig, it has the black and chrome.
