Pristine 1988

This what you can pick up here (Well close to Saitama anyway) for a little over $6,500.00 American. As the "Old Timer" I will simply enjoy as purchased.

Yes..... I know the rear lights etc. These were picked up for free since the left lense of the original were cracked. Simple swap, and prefer these because of my original 1986 model of years back.

all you're missing is the battery cover, fuse cover and the mazda sticker for the airbox and you're straight off the showroom floor. actually i notice a couple of period upgrades that aren't hurting my feelings any. I used to have rpo1s on my first T2 as well.

It is a GT-X model. The last owner was an older guy for the car, but younger than me by about 15 years. I rarely go over 100kph, and live on a back road near CHUO Expressway. I plan to pump some royal purple in it, and call it a day for now. My SA was stolen directly after it was painted in 2005.

Yes, back seat. The AAS covers/ system work perfectly, but this model in Japan did have some problems. Most were removed, or dis-abled.

Sanitary, man. That is the cleanest 88 I have ever seen. I can see wanting to keep it that way.

Also, +1 on interior pics- this thing has to be pretty inside, too

I don't get what you mean.... 88s came with those style of lights... What's wrong with the lights in the picture?
