I've seen a lot of CSM's, many of them gorgeous, but this one takes the cake. This car literally looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. It was purchased from the original owner, who bought it new when he was just 20 years old and kept it garaged for its whole life. When my buddy bought the car, it was still on the ORIGINAL brake pads, they had never been changed before. I didn't know they ever looked this good. The interior especially, is OMG clean. The car also drives absolutely perfect, is totally bone stock, and still feels like new in every aspect. My pictures barely even do it justice. This is part one of the photos, mostly because I'm too tired to finish them all tonight, so stay tuned for more. Until then, enjoy! 8)

Very, very nice! I would assume the dual exhaust tips are stock yet the door speakers are not? Great job on the photos.

Who knew these piles of shit could look this good? :lol:

I know it would seem like a waste but I wouldn't even drive that car if I owned it. Because if someone pulled out in front of me and made me wreck it I would probably kill them.

He got lucky. He did some ECU work for the original owner, and the guy hit him up telling him he was ready to sell the car. My buddy drove up to NorCal and picked it up without even thinking about it. The car was never officially posted for sale anywhere.

Dan and I were talking about that yesterday. He actually drives this car fairly often. It sucks to risk ruining it by driving it, but at the same time it sucks to have it be a garage queen and to never enjoy it. The car is actually a blast to drive in stock form, way more fun than my Mirage was with the 4g63 swap. If anyone can maintain it properly and keep it looking clean while he drives it a lot, it's Dan. He's meticulous.

Thanks! The dual exhaust tips and the door speakers are both factory stock. It has an aftermarket head unit in it, circa 1993. :lol:

They're slightly under-powered, but that's an easy fix. :twisted:
