Wow! $3800 for a blk/blk 97 5-speed car is an awesome price. You should add your car (if you didn't already to Gerrb's list of 1 of 120 cars! you can tell if it is a factory 5 speed by looking at the VIN sticker on the driver's side. It will read "W58"

PM me the complete VIN number of your car . I will verify.

Did the previous owner say it was 1 of the 120 made in 1997 ?

Got it ! Thanks .

It is definitely a 1997 5speed 1 of 120 .. manufactured in May of 1997. I will add it to the list later when I have the chance. For the price you got that car , it was definitely a darn good deal for a 1 of 120 in very good condition both in and out.

Also repalced spark plug/wire, distributor rotor and cap and air filter.



Fogs and taillights will be replaced after I get a repaint. I want to keep the factory black but I'm also considering gunmetal grey.

I decided to do something to the extra set of tails I had.
And also painted the middle part of the grill black using Plastidip.
