Hey guys, saw a minx today and it is now owned by a car restorer, chatted with him for a minute as I was in a hurry, boat looks like it needs a serious wet sanding and buffing, engine is a 350 coupled to an alpha 1, the running gear and engine look in perfect condition by the looks of it, Fresh water boat, interior I would have redone, grey with red piping but looks like the deck, wish I had my cam at the time, guages and all of that look servicable, if any of you are interested I can take the cam and get more info, seems like the car dude dosen't really have a clue what he has !!

on another note, if he gives me $$$$$ for the 18 I may take the minx off his hands :shocking: :shocking:

Sounds like possibly an LE Minx? I believe all the LE Minxs had grey interior with red pipeing. Wheres Bruizilla when you need him. Ahhhh, that's right, BOAT SHOPPING

I thought the Minx was only made in 86 & 87.

What color is the hull?

I think, Joe, 'cause I don't know for sure that your right. But they were marketed in '88 as a '88. That gives three model years.

Cuda hull and deck are red, looks like original gel, original decals, even the windshield is in great shape, just the gel and upholstery looks like it could need some help.

I have never seen a Gray 87. But I have seen 2 88's.The windshield is the same on 86&87's but differant on a 88.

I noticed in the literature they refer to the Minx as a "Classic". :)

Hummmm a Testarosa Minx....... I don't think the car dealer will have that Donzi for very much longer. Minx, feature boat of AOTH V? It's a thought!
