I finally own and have driven a Turbo mirage after all these years!

115k, drives perfectly. All stock. My friend Adam West picked it up in PA in February of this year and brought it to the shootout. It needed a turbo and ECU rebuild. No problem!

This Gary's old car, 2.0pwrdC50?

Never mind, Gary's had a ton of miles on it and my old gray GVR4 wheels that were on the wagon I sold him.

This one came out of PA. Interior is super clean, seats still have firm bolstering, dash is not even cracked!

I said the same thing at the shootout out loud to my friend and the guy I believe to be his buddy gave me a weird look. :rolleyes:

Clean car. Adam was telling me about it at the Shootout. Planning on leaving it stock?

Yep! Totally stock, aside from a pretty decent cat back that sounds good. Cleaning up a few things, getting the AC working again, etc. Other than that I want it to be a untouched car.

This thing is a time capsule, amazing it made it 26 years without any modifications.
Drives really smooth, I'm sure it will clean up really nice.
Transported it home for Jason, and it got 29.5mpg cruising 75-80mph, 4000rpm.

Looks great, I agree with my Colt's twin pma1123 that's what I call a time capsule!

Great score Jason! It would be so cool to pretty much restore one of these things just like they came off the lot in 89'.
