Saw this on craigslist last night, happened to be a previous customer of mine. He had bought a fuel pump from me last year. He showed me some favoritism and rejected 20+ phone calls on it and sold it to me for $900 (asking price was $1500). It is an interesting color, topaz firemist metallic, almost a true gold. It has 217k, missing 1st and 4th gear, super bad hood herpes, dented quarter panel, cracked windshield and a dirty interior. Depending on how good I can get the quarter panel using PDR, will determine if it really becomes a project car, or a parter. I don't really want to part it, because there isn't really a demand for this color exterior/interior at all.













If the PDR guy refuses to do it, I'll have to go crash93ssei on it! I'll leave my shirt on though.






Must be an early version 2000, never seen a switch say "THEFT" and have an LED in it.


Seats are in great shape!


Same with the console lid!


Sunshade needs some help, but the headliner and visors are ok.



Newer tires


Color comparison to Light Bronzemist Metallic

I saw one this color not long ago, and actually kinda like it- it isn't one of the run-of-the-mill Bonneville colors. Hope you can save it!

I vote for fixing it up!

A few mods..

I don't think I've ever seen PDR attempted on a panel that bad. I await the results

I think I've found my new favorite color combination! I've seen ONE of that color in person, oh my god! Reminds me of my 86 560SEL's color!

I'll be watching this closely, no doubt.

Dear lord, that's an ugly color. Does the interior have a green hue? All its missing is glitter in the vinyl and its back to the 70s.

Looks like you've got your work cut out for you. Hope you can find someone who wants a disco themed bonneville. Lol.

Lets trade front drivers seat

this is one of the other color choices I had when I bought my car, mine,A silver and this gold. I Hate silver/grey cars(sorry guys) which narrowed it down to two, I drove them both, loved the gold/camel combo. then was told it sold the day before, took mine out for a ride again, scared the *shoot* out of the salesman when I got on it, (hey, i had to be sure) didnt care much for a supercharger really on my engine, (ya ya, I know )

run the VIN through that link that Ed posted a while ago, I bet its on the rare side.

await your fix buddy,

I'm loving the color combo. Especially the camel. Too bad I'm a poor little kid or I'd be paying ya to send me that interior if you choose to part it out. Hope you can keep it alive. It's a special Bonnie for sure.

Dear lord, that's gold, lol.

Is there a Theftlock LED in the HU?

Yes, normal theftlock LED in the HU.

Today I swapped the wheels for the heck of it. Pretty amazing what swoopies can do to a car.

Those wheels are probably the single best improvement. Its not a terrible color, its just not for everyone

I like this car and the wheels did a wonder for it. Can't wait to see how the body repair comes out.

WOW. Swoopies made it go from meh to "nice!".

Looks like a slightly bigger tire would fit in there. Didnt realize the wheelwells were so roomy on 2k+
