Found a 1989 GTUs w/22000 miles
 

Found a GTUs with 22k miles. Never been in the rain or snow and always garaged, one owner. Sorry no pics yet. Needs some cleaning up. Don't think the coolant was ever changed. Oops.

Pictures, immediately.

Pics and how much you got it for.

no pics yet $3750

Fuck. I spent 4,000 on a mint 1991 with 60,000 miles.

Please do not mod it

^^^^ What he said, that is a very hard to find car.....

That is a great deal. Believe it or not, this car is not mint. So you got a better deal than I did, believe me.

The po had no clue how to take care of this car. I really didn't get that great of a deal but it is a GTUs with low miles and I plan on restoring it to stock. Then it may be worth something.

I will only do a rb cb. The goal is to make it like new again. Then I will either keep it or sell it to the right person. If it's as much fun to drive as my 1st and 3rd gens, I'll have to keep it for awhile.

I found this car also on craigslist. They originally wanted 10k. I talked to them a little bit,
but decided I didn't need another project sitting here. Glad someone on here got it!

I was expecting pristine but,Yea I was a little disappointed when I first saw it but with low miles, no accidents, no rust, it was a no brainer. The interior is good(dirty) except for the worn driver seat bolster which can be repaired. A few dings here and there with no dents or scratches or rock chips. The wheels look new. Has original brakes. Trim and rubber all looks good. Paint needs a good claybar and polish but looks pretty good for a red fc. The big thing is the motor. It will run but the way it sounds is not good.

A worn driver seat with only 22k miles sounds very strange to me.:scratch:

Actually I made a mistake it's 28K miles. But yea the guy is pretty big and those cloth seats are thin. The car looks like a 28K mile car that was not owned by an rx7 person like us. I don't think he ever cleaned the inside of the car and it still looks to be in good shape minus the bolster. The rubber trim and door seals are a good sign. They are fine. Either way I'm excited about this car. It will be very desireable when I'm done with it. Sparing no expense.

here's my 67k mile vert that was "not owned by an rx7 owner like us." Not to brag, but as an example- Look how well it came out! I bet your car has the same if not more potential!!

Post some pix!!!

Attachment 481761Here's a couple of cell phone pics

claybar and some rubbin and she'll look new again. Going to get new battery, hoses, driver mirror cover, and rb cb. The cheap mufflers on there now sound aweful.

holy crap nice!

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!

My mint fc was 1 owner as well and never driven in rain or snow either.

I found a mint 88 vert, black on black local to me with 22k miles as well. its owned by a dealership and they are asking 16,000.

I have seen some crazy high prices on these cars. We have to find them before the dealerships do.

Hell yea! Congrats, welcome to the group! so awesome, all the GTUs's are coming out of the woodworks.
I picked up my 10k mile GTUs 4 years ago for $3k. No one ever flipped out and told me not to mod it... From the reactions I got, you woulda thought it was a crappy base 86.
Oh well.

^^^ Jee-zus.. that is f'n gorgeous.


And I hate all of you for picking up such rare, low mileage cars for next to nothing..

:)

great looking gtus Scrapp. FCs look so awesome with the right stance don't they?

They really do. Im still not sure if I succeeded in that dept yet or not. I thought I did good, but the more I look at my car, I say: "Wheels could come out a little more... Could it go lower too?"

I spent/spend hours in the garage measuring, poking, comparing... It will never end.


(Oh, BTW... You're not alone... The last few years of my cars life with the previous owner, it for some reason was removed from storage, and kept outside constantly in the texas sun... needless to say, people swore up and down I was going to need a repaint. I spent an ENTIRE night ( watched the sun rise) in the garage with a clay bar, polish, and wax. just take some time and give it some love. imperfections come back out.)

If the tires aren't rubbin, I'd leave it alone unless you find some wheels you like better. But those wheels look really sweet. I might hit you up on info of what size wheels and tires to get later on for mine.
