I just bought a car with the vin number:
4E3CS54U2LE084307

According to wiki, only 10 of these were produced in 1989 and sold as 1990 model year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Talon This car is bone stock, unmodified and all original. Also grandma owned and garage kept.

I say restore the engine bay paint, clean up the car, and keep it original and pristine. Looks great to start with, make it a rarer find. How many miles on it?

Thanks guys. It has 23,850 miles on it. According to my research, it was not one of the first 10. But it was made in 1989.

that paint doesn't need restored. It's just dirty it looks like. Too bad that's FWD. Still.....VERY nice find.
