Nope its a GS, the whole car was resently painted. I think he said that there was some slight bondo work that didn't turn out the way he wanted so thats why the lower part is painted black(not can spray paint, real paint I think) The motor is a mazda remain from 97 and its bone stock(just passed emmisions recently) It has a new aftermarket cat and aftermarket muffler. Its a great car for the price. Its also a great start for what I have planned for it...

Looks pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the fade look, it makes me think of the joke a freind once made. "It looks like they ran outta money in the middle of the paint job".
At any rate, I'd recommend getting the beehive off, and installing a front mount. Made a big difference in the cooling effiency on my '83. Besides, I figured 199,775 miles was plenty for the beehive........

Just got it back from Maryland. After a long hard 14 hour trip(was supposed to only take 11 1/2) damn traffic....

After I bought it I got rear ended by a 18 wheeler and pushed for like half a mile. It only scratched the rear bumper a little since he hit my going about 2 miles an hour. He claims he didn't see me.......

Well that was a close call with the truck. That could have very easily turned real ugly. Have fun with your new 7.
