    After a couple of months my black/red '88 Mondial Coupe has arrived!

    The car was a little dirty after the trip across the country (Burnaby, BC, Canada to South Carolina) so she got a bath and fresh wax this morning. 42,101 miles and she is a sweet runner. This car (you may remember from the classifieds) has the Tarox brake upgrade as well as a very nice HID headlight modification.

    She needs new shoes (Michelin Pilot Sports are on order) since I never drive on tires older than 7 or 8 years old. Other than that, she is ready to park in the FCA parking jamboree for the Hilton Head Island Concours

    Very sharp car, great color combination and that stance looks just right. Congratulations, a good time of year for driving this car in SC I think.

    That's awesome. If the wheel was on the correct side I'd consider a swap!

    She is hot, Bill! Could you place some pics of her bulbs (headlight)? :)
    Wise desicion not to drive on old rubber. I gave my Cinderella also some new shoes.

    I dont know who did the HID headlight modifictation .But i will say this that at night it was a great update and you could see about 200 feet ahead no problem.It does have a black box added for each head light.

    Will take pictures tonight.

    Tires are a big issue for me. I can't believe the number of people driving Ferraris on tires that are just ticking timebombs!

    Timeless combination. Is it me or does black age better than red? The red interior makes it. Congrats.

    Any issues importing from Canada or was it a U.S. spec car/vin to start.

    It was originally a US car. However, since it's over 25 years old it's a moot point.

    Yes...I did not want red. That's why I have a blue one and a black one.
