Thumbs up I got another FC

Picked it up yesterday. Black 89 Vert, 145K miles, body in good shape, interior in good shape, but really dirty. The pass. side window is messed up, and it only goes part way up. It needs a TPS, and one of the brake calipers is stuck, but the engine runs great.

All in all, not a bad car for $100

Heres close-ups of the custom etched glass and airbrushed roses. Im definately painting over the roses, but the girl on the windshield is staying. I want to get rid of the girl on the back window though.

Nice car mazdaspeed, what really gives it its nice flare ois the nice roses painted on their. I mean I have just called my paint guy and he is commin over right away to do the flower conversion to my car, can't wait. Anyway that was a damn sweet car for 100$ I mean where the hell do you find nice deals like that? And from that one side pic the car looks emaculantly strait. Well good luck and probably most of the forum has no freakin idea on what the hell you plan to do with it.

Every time I hear the word flair, I think of Office Space

The car is vert straight. Never been in a wreck, very few dents. Top is vert rough, quite a few rips and such, but thats the first thing Im replacing.

I still cant believe I paid $100 for that car. The last car I got was the 1st gen in the garage. $150 is all I pait for that. It was recently rebuilt, but carbon locked. I pulled it apart, ported it, and put it back together for $~ 150 on top of the price of the car. Ill have it running tonight, and its getting sold for $1500 this week.

Not quite sure about the women and the roses, but overall that's a nice car for $100...especially running.

Great find, Adam!

True dude, my friend found some needles and other drug paraphenalia under the seats of this crappy CRX that he bought for 200 bucks. That car is a fine example of 80's style.

This car is far from rough. It needs a new top, but the body is in excellent condition. It has almost no door dings or dents, never been in a wreck, everything is mechanically sound, etc. There is not a single scratch or curb rub on ANY of the rims. It has the aluminum hood.

I plan on painting it a deep metallic crimson, and the roses are definately getting painted over.

BTW, it helps to know people. I get a good bit of leads on cars like this. Good cars for dirt cheap.

Damn, I'm lucky if I could find 1 vert rim for $100, let alone the entire damn car! So, did they just drop a zero after you showed them the gun, or what?
