Rare sight 850

Hey my wife's '95 850T just turned over 23,000 miles ! We're the original owners and we've had several other cars/trucks during the years but always kept the 850 in the garage. We'll probably give it to my daughter when she finishes school. But that would be a waste maybe?. The car still smells like new. Well, except for the occasional overpowering R134 fragrance from the original evaporator :-( that I refuse to take out :-). I guess I will eventually but I hate to take the dash out. I usually just dump in a can of R134 at the beginning of summer and it lasts several months. I had to replace the stock Michelin Pilot tires a few years ago because they just went square from sitting in the garage. It's a stock black/tan/auto Turbo with the sport suspension option and wood grain dash. Not a scratch on it. I put the E-code lens on it and relocated the horns and added a K&N filter but not much else. I swapped out the factory SC-811 radio for a black SC-816 CD/stereo too. I did the power seat back cable repair job already. But other than the A/C evaporator to be done, the car has been great. I lost some of the stock window trim when the car was new and I took it out for a highspeed run, but the dealer replaced the pieces and said to apply some speed-tape next time I did that :-) . My wife baby's the crap out of it when she drives. I did the IPD waste-gate tune up on it and it helped the low-end acceleration quite a bit too. I hope to keep the mileage low for a while anyway.


Mike
