Inside Vader:

This is what the interior of Vader looks like...not too bad for a 20-year old car.

The interior isn't in bad shape, but you can tell she's an seasoned car. Everything is pretty much factory right now except for the cup holder and cell phone holder on the console. Other than that, she pretty much looks as she did when she rolled out of Van Nuys, CA back in 1988.

This is the digital dash on start up. There were only 5,102 1988 GTAs produced with this dash setup. It may look nice but it isn't all it's cracked up to be because it can be difficult to see at certain times of the day when driving towards the sunshine.

Your calculation about the rarity of your car is pretty cool. Maybe I should do this to. I think the main point is, that you have no T-Top (mine as well). I think the most had it. I like it without T-Tops anyway because the design looks much better. Nothing disturbs the lines. Very nice. I own a 1988 Formula without any electrical stuff and: no T-Top. For that I'm a German I have the export variation. no miles or Fahrenheit you know. I think that makes my Formula even rare. Nice car and 5* for all the work you've done
