hi ron, Trophy is a canadian only model, limited to 200 units or something like that, only offered for the 1989 year(i think), they are every close to the GLi 16v Wolfsburg Ed that was offered in the US they consisted of: 1.8 16v all power items, windows, steering, A/C... sunroof black headliner(all other canadian models had beige, i don't know about US models) grey/black strip w/black vinyl bolsters full electric recaro interior grey carpet Special Paint colour, i've been told it was called Midnight Blue. it was a black paint with Blue metalic Glitter same as body colour 15" one piece BBS rims
As for mine in particual, previous owner lost the front recaros and bbs rims, the seats have been replaced with garbage from another car, and it now travels on teardrop rims i am near toronto canada, and local licencing requirements are a safty inspection, which include a look at shocks and windshield and rust that preferates the metal reason for it not running is unknown, it just died 2 weeks ago while driving, it cranks, gas pump operates, no firing i just don't have time for this car any more and finally on your price/stereo question i am hoping to get $1000-$1200CAN for each-car and stereo, that translates to $600-800US if you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask jeremy "Darner" <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi, Jeremy- > Not that I've got the money to buy another car right now (the divorce >alone would bankrupt me!), but I can guess at least a couple of items that >will need answering, and I'd like to suggest that they be answered for the >entire list(s).
