A Real Mera in Paradise (Page 29/713)

My 87 MERA is virtually stock with these exceptions:

Engine is a 3.4 push rod and has a turbo added.
Paint color has been changed from white to gunmetal gray with pearl.
Nose badge will be a reproduction.
Has Mr. Mike leather seat covers and custom floor mats.
Car has been lowered but I do have the original springs at the house.
Wheels are after market.
Mirrors are stock Fiero (power type) but I am working on the Vitaloni power mirrors for this vehicle.

I am not certain that I have any photos that sre correctly sized for Pennocks but will see what I can find.

All I get when I try to use PIP is a run time error. I will e-mail you some photos and see if you can post them (if you want to).

You and me both--tried many times.


I use Photobucket to post stuff--the image code is clearly identified. There are a lot of photo file resizing apps out there, but I like Picasa for general purpose organizing and archiving.

Thanks for the pics--beautiful car! If you would like I will resize these and return them

He quotes his numbers, but I'm suspicious--why would he say the number is #8140, then #52 built in 1988. The hood and headlights don't look Mera, but it is a pretty car.

no sir, i dont like it......for $11,000. the car fax is longer than the description. the sellers D'script does not mention the accident report. smells like fish....
also no mirror switch, head light covers- smooth, high mileage in 1997.and screwed on louvers... i feel there may be problems cuz of the amount of different owners. no one seems to love this vehicle...they buy it then sell in a couple months.....Daffy....anyway
MORNING ALL......this will be interesting to follow......theres a bid of 2K as of now......RESERVE NOT MET......hahaha....Later-

you know ....i went back to that listing to print the D'script and car fax......get this....upon comparision with my car fax issued at time of purchase......10/09/2008 issued FL M.V.D title Miramar Beach FL thats my fax- I had to assume that is the guy i bought from....but he lived in San Destin and Orlando FL..their not close to each other...by any streach.....he had 2 other Meras with him in Orlando. plus mine.(the one with no back up lights)......ok

now this yellow one: 10/06/2008 issued FL M.V.D title Ft. Lauderdale FL
these cars, the ever elusive MERA, were titled within 20 miles of each other and 3 days apart......Most Meras were sold in FL and CA, if i remember right orginally, and them Mera SPLASH downloads i have seen come from FL, but am not sure where??
OHHHH.....and a mysterious 10 year gap is also common between these vehicals.....I dont know... i beleieve in coincidence but.......

yellow car- title issued 06/03/1998-West Babylon, NY
my car - title issued 05/07/1998-Bloomfield Hills, MI
whats that like a month apart?????......Man! this is starting to hurt......me brain........I am gonna get a cup of coffee and chill.....
