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

 

so 80s it hurts!

man after 8 years it's probably sitting in a lot somewhere with ssauto exhaust and a blown engine.

 

That is a very unique looking FC I love it! hope you track it down mate, haven't seen it over here in Aussie :P

 

did those rims use to make like a choppin noise when you drove by any chance?? lol

 

I figure if it made it 13 years to be in the condition pictured...maybe there's hope!

 

Those window fins kick major ***!

I live in SC but I haven't seen it, sorry.

 

I think I saw it totaled at a junk yard!

Just playing with you man. You shoulda bought new wheels for that car though.

 

nothing here in the santa monica area man. ill repost if i see it down here.


btw thos rims are sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Vin? Lol Cant you do like a car fax report on the vin or whatever and track er down.

 

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.

 

Very nice car. Those wheels can out bologna slice the stock GXL wheels, fo' sho'!

BTW, this thread does not belong in the technical section.

 

Jason, that was shot infront of the Nasa Space Center in huntsville?

 

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!

 

Out of topic but I love the SR71!

 

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!!!

 

Don't want to hijack Jason, I'll just put in some quick pictures.

 

Yes.

Thanks for the threadjacking...I really appreciate that.

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.

 

Hahaha I was going to say that looked like Davids car! The white S4

 

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.

(you aren't allowed to bump tech threads)

 

please tell me thats a yellow glare going from front to back and just so happens to be in the exact location of the common pin stripe position...? please please please dont tell me its yellow on red

 

No that looks like a yellow on red pinstripe.

 

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.
