Looks like a fantastic deal for a fully 'blinged' out, ultra-rare car....

Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

That's really goofy-looking spoiler/wing.
And the color is...uh, unicorn-rainbow-princess must be in the name somewhere...

Thats a cross between Pink and Purple, called Pinkle. Very rare indeed.

I have a c6 Corvette that is painted a similar color. I was driving it one day to work at the local Air Force Base, and the young kid checking ID's asked me if my car was "Pinkle". Made me laugh. Looks better on a Corvette than a Mirada.

Helped my dad repaint a '75 Eldorado when I was in high school, so probably around '81. I'll never forget the job, or the color name, "Cerise Firemist Metallic", stock Caddy color. The other memorable parts were the hundreds of pounds of trim that had to be removed and reinstalled, and that the guy (who WAS pretty shady) drove it for 2 days, then came out of a house (NOT his own) and found some helpful person dumped a gallon of aircraft stripper over every body panel. All of the trim came off a lot easier the second time...

Interesting that it appears to be a Mirada from the nose and front fenders but has Cordoba taillights/rear trim pieces

I like Mirada's, but I don't think I could like ANY Mirada to the tune of $32.5K.

I believe a buddy still has this on.

It's a 1,000 mile car, yes you read that right. laugh2

He was talking about selling it, something in the $12k-$14K range I believe.

That would be a great car imo for 12-14k. Even if fully stock a sharp entry level ride.

I'd have to have the pink one towed to the body shop because I wouldn't be seen driving it.

I knew the pink one looked familiar, a buddy bought it to flip back in 2018.

The Ram factory leather seats in my 99 truck were in that Mirada when he bought it. laugh2
