My Barn Princess (56k beware)

Lookie what I acquired, she is an 83 gsl with 130k on her clock, has not seen light of day since 1992, BRAND NEW tires (12 years old but 0 miles on them) here are her preliminary pics. Can anyone guess what makes her sooooo special?

Why don't you resize them? Those are unnecessarily huge.

she was FREE!....and the racing beat sticker is refering to the RB upper and lower sidedraft intake manifold and racing beat exhaust manifold going on her in the next week or so (which I am SURE is worth more than a mere 9-14 HP). and the MazdaTrix sticker is refering to her SS lines.

Not intrested in trading my louvers at this point, although my wife hates them, I think they look awesome. besides I already have the Le Bra, my old roomate has a 3 piece set of louvers (back and sides) I'll ask if he is intrested.

I am still tryng to figure that one out myself, my dad just called one day and said "you still want my car?"

me: "Um, yeah"

dad: "Come get it"

me:"KICKA$$"

Dad: "watch your mouth"

*click*

(by the way my father and I have spoken a total of around 15 times and seen each other maybe 5 since 1997 so if this is his idea of a peace offering ....I accept )

Nice car for free. and it ha sbeen in the family too.. I just aquired an RX-3 that has been in a barn since 1991.. be sure to replace those tires.

If i put every vendor/product sticker on my RX-3 there wouldn't be any paint yet.. leave the stickers off.. they look cleaner that way.
