Has anyone seen my old TII?

About 8 years ago I owned this 87 TII and I'd very much like to track it down if I'm able.

At the time it had 70k miles and the entire car was 100% flawless. Original paint with no chips dings or scratches. The interior, (gray) was perfect and has Mazda dealer installed TII seat covers, so the seats were perfect as well. It did have an aftermarket boost guage in it.

The original owner installed an Amsoil Dual Oil Filter System on it, so that looked unusual under the hood.

Everything else you can tell from the pictures:
Bronze sunroof
Louvers
Lightweight aftermarket rear spoiler

I sold it to a guy in N. or S. Carolina around the year 2000.

please let me know if you've seen the car, or better yet...own it!!

Thanks,
~Jason

LOL!! I saw a maroon one with louvers here in Phx AZ...

BTW: I've been meaning to start a thread like this.
Has anyone seen my old white 87T2??? It was in perfect shape except a dent in the front passenger fender. I sold it on 1999 to a used car dealer in San Antonio TX. It was at the I35 and about O'Connor. Now it's just a lot for work trucks.

It had chrome 6-star Eagle rims, I painted the brake calipers blue, and some of the interior pieces white. There was a Greddy TT in it as well.

Holy **** dude, that's my TII!
I bought it from a UNT student in Denton during the summer of 2003. I'm at work, so I don't have any pics to post. It was a bitch getting all that white paint off the interior parts!

HOLY ****!!! you better post some pics bro, I've been wondering about this car since I sold her!!!!

What have you done to her since? I'm sure the motor has been replaced/rebuilt since.

When I owned it, I put in the S5 radio/shifter surround, replaced throttle cable, cut the stock springs, replaced the shocks/struts, fixed the sun roof, put in the cut-off switch, took out the buzzer behind the cluster... I think that's it. Other than the paint If it was hard to get off, at least I did a good job.

I was young back then, I didn't know that much about forced induction, so I just painted stuff!!!

If you don't want to hijack...then don't.



I'm not certain of the VIN. If I knew, I'd definately run a car-fax.

My bad, but look, it's kept your thread alive. There is a better chance someone will see your old car with this thread staying at the top.

It actually doesn't look halfbad. It's small enough so I don't mind it. It is from the 80s. We are talking about a company that used to have red and sky blue leather interiors lol.

Yep...it did have a small yellow pin-stripe...it's mid eighties for crying out loud!

The original owner I purchased it from was on the brink of sending it to California in 1987 for a gull-wing door conversion! He changed his mind at the last minute and went a different route.
