Default Saw first SC hardtop

About 5-miles from my house I saw a gold[sandstone beige] SC sitting in the front yard of a house in a nice neighborhood and had to stop and check it out. It was a 92 SC300 no trunk spoiler, hardtop, auto., with chrome factory wheels. No mileage listed or pricing. Will probably give them a call later to check it out.

Left out that it had a FOR-SALE sign in the window.

From a luxury perspective yes but one without a sunroof is lighter for those going after performance without luxury in mind.
