New 87 coupe owner

tim-n-semo · 05-02-2008, 06:17 AM

Hi

I'm now the proud owner of a 1987 Ninety-eight coupe, purchased last week in suburban St Louis. ($1000 -- woohoo!)

It's a very nice car, 113,000 miles, in good to very good condition. I'll have to take some pics next time I've got batteries in the camera.

Was just wondering.....somewhere (here, I think) it seems like I saw that 120-some coupes were made that year....anyone know for sure?

Any particular issues on these models? Any parts I need to look out for when I'm at a junkyard next?

Thanks!

There weren't many coupes made in the 80s that is for sure. I bet there are even fewer in the later 80s. That is interesting, I didn't even know they were making coupes in 87. I thought the last year they made 98 coupes was like 81 or so. Please post some pics, we definitely want to see your new family member.
