This happened to just fall into my lap. One owner. Mint. From an 80 yr old mans wife, he passed away a yr ago, car enthusiast, parked it on carpet in the garage, save every receipt for 24 years kinda enthusiast!
The car has 70,150 original miles. Never crashed. No scratches or dings. Never modded. No leaks or funny noises from the turbo or engine. Trans shifts perfect. Completely factory original down to the radio.

So anyways....
No plans as of yet. I'm just going to start dailying it. Keep it original for now.
Crank the boost a bit later in life... =]

But first. Timing belt change. Last done 12/2006 @65k which was only 5k miles ago. Do I do it again due to it's age?
And do I keep the balance shafts? Is the vibration THAT annoying?
Thanks! -JTe

Wow that's' beautiful!! I'd do a tune up and standard maintenance before using it as a daily! Do the timing belt to be safe, it's probably dry rotted, would suck to ruin that motor over a few bucks!

Nice snag!

Holy shit. I'm jealous!

For some reason I swear I have heard this story before...

Are you sure it dosnt involve someone dying in a war? vietnam maybe?

welcome, that thing is a gem!

Is it for sale?

Very nice. I like the color!

What is the official name of that color?

No idea as to the OEM color code?

Nice find.. I my self would keep it as a part of history..

Everything is always for sale. But I doubt anyone would want to pay me what I wanted. Haha!

That's a great looking ride!

Thank you for that

Beautiful gem, Id almost want to keep it original and make it part of a collection

the paint code is also in the vin number on some makes of cars as well.. I thought there was a listing on the forum that listed them all by name and gave the pint code.

pm me the price you want for it!

More than you'd want to spend I'm sure!
Haha!

I wouldnt be tooo sure. you never know.

For reference: Paint code would be on the DSM sticker; center-high on the firewall in the engine bay, if it's not faded from time/heat like most are.

Thank you for that. I am going to check mine after work.

Nice car. As for the paint code: Paint Codes for all DSM Years

It looks to me that B14 was a '90 only color for the Eclipse and Laser.

Wow that's a rare gem! Nice find! I would love to have one that clean.
