Mine, totally affiliated. $1400 obo
I bought this around a year and a half ago and haven't really done much with it. I got it running but didn't drive it much. I bought it from the original owner with 95k miles. I replaced the timing belt and a few other things.
96k miles, 5 speed manual, clear title.
Current issues:
Turn signals do not work. I bypassed the hazard switch and they worked once, I have not done any further diagnosis.
The coolant tank leaks from the lower hose, the plastic is cracked.
It currently has no brakes. They worked well, then were soft. I tried to bleed them and now they don't work at all. I can not see any leaks. I either did a terrible job bleeding them or the master is berkeleyed.
Paint is faded.
Positives:
It isn't very rusty.
It is all stock.
Here are some pictures from when I bought it. It looks pretty much the same. I will take current pictures tomorrow.
Located in Columbus, Ohio
Good luck. If I literally just didn't buy a car *today* as a father/son project, I'd be all over it.

If somebody buys this as a drivetrain donor I'll buy the front and rear subframes and suspension pieces.

If someone buys this as a drivetrain donor and sells the suspensions to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you can disassemble it in my garage and leave the title... I just want the shell
*Le sigh*
I was hoping you would sell this when I had extra money laying around.

The underside is good for an Ohio car. There is some rust starting in the usual spot where the rocker and floor meet. It does not look bad yet but I have not removed the plastic rocker cover. There is some damage to the fender and plastic cladding just behind the driver side front wheel.
I apparently didn't do a good enough job with the pressure washer since there is some mud left.
My buddy had an '86. It had a poorly implemented HX35Y turbo and stock brakes. That car is the closest I've ever come to dying in a vehicle. I still want one.
These seem to be drying up which is a real shame. There is so much '80s Euro engineering in them. They are exotic enough that they are special but use common Ford parts. If I ever become successful again, I'd by a well sorted one in a heartbeat.
Is that an extended, extended Dodge? Cool.
