The windshield sticker is clue #1. RE Amemiya had his hand in it. It's got the Porsche style conversion, which I don't even think was produced for sale like the FD kits in Japan.

That is the company responsible for the kit. It is either a one-off kit, or not in production anymore. I don't know if anyone makes a replica either.

Also Greddy and RE Amemiya are good buddies. The current Greddy Rx-7 in the D1GP is built by Amemiya's shop.

Why do you care?

1) The car is a one-off custom.

2) The car does not exist anymore.

This is why you're not going to find any info on it, period.

That car was an abomination of an FC. I've always disliked the Porsche 928 headlight conversion. Ugly as sin IMO...

There was a series of those cars commissioned by Greddy/Amemiya. It spanned from the inception of the FC, all the way up to the FD.There were 6 or 7 of them I believe. I wish I could find the site that listed them all.

Notice the "Greddy4" logo on the back, evidencing it's place in the series.
