My '89 GTUs

It's been sitting in my dad's garage since '97 or so, but he finally decided to clean out the garage and no longer had room for my RX-7. So we had it shipped all the way out here to Houston, TX and I took delivery of it on Friday. It was pretty dirty since it was loaded up on an open car carrier. I cleaned it up a little but it looks like there's some light oxidation on some body panels. Nothing a little clay bar can't take out though. There's small door ding on the drivers side, below and to the left of the door handle, but easily fixable with a little PDR. Here's some pics:













Original miles. Original tires. Started up fine after 6 or 7 years withouth a hiccup, cough, smoke, or sputter.

Built and tuned by st00pid. I really don't know much about cars. I just sign the checks.

beautiful car beautiful, I thought my car was really clean. I saw the video of you keeping up with a viper that was sick ***. I got my car beginning of the summer this car is sick i got it with just agx and spings but now it has a lot more then that. GTU's is the best. Man i really thought my car was the cleanest gtus but no im wrong... But its Ok soon to be the NICEST LOL (i hope). Cheezefrog i liked your civic but your FC is a lot better.

thats beyond nice. its a specimen!!!!

gorgeous car, kept in that kind of condition, it could be one of the few fc's that will actualy appreciate in value in the coming years.

probobly the nicest gtus out there, and by virtue of it being a gtus, one of the nicest fc's period.
