Who cares? Tires are disposable and are simply routine maintenance items. That has nothing to do with the sellers offer; you're just looking for an excuse to belittle this thread. And if they were original they'd be 27 years old and probably in need of replacement IMO. The only thing that needs any documentation is the claim for 28k. He didn't say it was actual, but the car looks like it could be.
It's a beautiful car. Hope it goes to someone who really appreciates it.

with 28k actual,the car should still have the original tires
it is so easy to drop another speedo in one of these cars it's ridiculous.
ive seen the tires that came on these cars sell for over $1000 a set,so yes,it's a big frigging deal.

What kind of tires came on this car?
I would think it would be hard to get 28k miles or 27 years out of a set of tires.
If that's important to you I'll knock the $1000 for tires off the price even though the 4 Eagle GT's on the car are good.

To be a real H/O there needs to be a 9 in the vin number. Factory used vinyl and not leather on the seats. The vinyl seat models were scarcer than the cloth ones. There should be a sticker plate on the dash advertising the 15th anniversary. I could not make one out on this car. Other than that the car looks nice.

Lucky, post the VIN ok?

I seriously looked at one of these cars when they were new back in 83 but I can't remember for sure that that's the location of the emblem. The rest of the car looks absolutely immaculate, even the under hood detailing. If I lived closer this would be mine in a heartbeat, and much as it will be a classic, I'd be driving this one a lot. I remember my 82 Cutlass Supreme and it was a wonderful car to drive. Great ride and stylish to boot.

Lucky, can you post the VIN from the car? It will help everyone who isn't sure about the authenticity of the car. FYI, I have seen auctions where the lighting rods and console have been up for grabs. This one sold on ebay in 2005 for some good coin.
I don't know how much modification it takes to install them, but I think that's one of the issues that may be surfacing here in terms of skepticism? Personally I wouldn't spend all that time on the car upgrading the shifter and doing a fabulous paint job to sell the car. I'd be wanting to drive it. The VIN will remove any doubt and prove to everyone that they are looking at the real thing. I'm sure the dash part can be got from somewhere if it was swapped out by someone for a souvenir??

Lucky, seems like several are interested if you would post the first roughly 10 digits of the vin. BTW, ignore the wonderfully helpful "car guy" from OH. Not sure if it's just a real funny sarcasm but nice to know someone with "knowledge" is willing to be a . I'm not 100% sure but believe the tires were Goodyear Eagle GT, GT 2s are I think still available. Hope this helps.

Those appear to be correct original tires...
Is the trunk spoiler 3 piece? Looks a bit wide and 1 piece to me.
This is the 2nd '83 H/O I've seen with the upper radiator hose strapped to the fan shroud. There should be an alternator bracket with a hose support on there for the VIN 9 only in '83. The other car I saw had 32 miles on it, and had never been prepped at the dealer, so we know that one hadn't been changed.
