Hi and welcome to the forum,

I reckon that someone on here will want it :) The 3 doors are getting rare!

Whats the rust situation like "ontop" of the bodywork? Any extras such as ambient temperature guages/econ meter?

A few minor rust marks are starting to appear, but basically ok. There are no 'extras'.

As Steve says, welcome, and I think you may well find a taker for a 3dr - even if not here. Have you thought about ebay?

cheers

if it were a mk2 i would snap it up, but unfotunatly it appears to be a model-year too late.. :(

If the Mk2 has PAS, then no, it's the model with DIY steering.

a mk2 has a different front end - the side repeater indicators are not part of the bumpers, and there is a different rear light cluster/rear windscreen. yours is actually a mk3... pas was an option on all 360s (i think, maybe not with mk2s) but it was expensive so not many people had it until it became standard in ~88

I bow to your knowledge. Should have looked at my Haynes Manual which will go with the car.

don't know if it would actually tell you in there..

some C-reg cars are mk2, some are mk3. i simply prefer the looks of the mk2 - there weren't actually any techinical differences at all afaik.

if you do decide to break it, there may be a few people after the electric windows/central locking gubbins, as these were both rare parts on 3-door 300s

Give it chance :) There are certain people on here that I'm sure would be interested. Carl? He was after a 360 recently.. and is local to where your car is :)

A month or 2 earlier and I'd have snapped it up, but I've started gathering bits for my other project, so no can do I'm afraid. If I had a bigger drive then i'd probably have it anyway, but theres already 6 cars on there!

Good luck with selling it

I would have been happy to give it away to anyone that wan't it, but if there are no takers by the 21st of the month, it will go for scrap. :-(

Pop it on eBay for £1 - someone will buy it - you might well get a fair bit more. That's better than it going for scrap - 3dr GLTs are too rare to scrap :(

cheers
