Oh I know the prices are hilarious on most of these. I was just showing that alot of these nice DSM's are still out there, not beaten to hell and back.

If he wants quirky weird, he should do a 1991 Subaru XT Alcyone.
You, sir, have one gorgeous car. Thanks for sharing it! Hopefully it inspires a new generation of DSM drivers. I was very impressed with all of the factory pieces you still have. E.g. owners manual, sunroof case, blow off valve cover, unbroken center caps.I'm the owner of the GSX in Doug's video. He recorded two videos that day in my garage. (The other is of my MR2 Spyder which won't come out for months.) I really enjoyed hanging out with him for a day. He's very humble and down-to-earth. For those who complain he doesn't know all the details, you should understand that he reviews 2-3 cars / week and can't possibly know everything about every car. But I think he's providing the world a service by showing what it's actually like to crawl all over these rare or unique cars.You must be logged in to view this image or video.
There are still quite a few of these gems hiding in peoples garages. Bare minimum there are at least 30 more examples of pristine condition DSM's. Never give up the search, they are out there.
Even pristine 2G's can be found. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/731319606/overview/
I was lucky enough to find a bone stock GSX and GST, but I don't think I could ever part with them.

I was lucky enough to find a bone stock GSX and GST, but I don't think I could ever part with them. Took years of patience to find them. Glad the DSM name is getting more exposure these days...let the resale value go up, up, up!
This is why I can't touch my bone stock 1G Talon without regretting it in the future, the price keeps going up every year. The devil on my shoulder says "Go on, get some bolt-ons, lets just do a mild 16g build", and I have to keep pushing him away.
I still feel like I won the lottery, since I bought my 1G for $500. As well as saving this DSM from an unknown future of being parted out and crushed.
Couldn't agree more. I don't mix my business with pleasure. In other words, I don't worry about the resale value of my hobby cars because I don't have the car to sell it. I would do the exact same thing to this car even if I knew I would get zero out of it when I'm done. These cars are about the experience of driving and hard work to get it running right not putzing around on a Saturday morning going 15 miles under the speed limit in your Dockers. These are violent cars that were meant to be driven. The only time I would ever want a stock DSM is if I want to daily it.Sorry, but these cars will never become a collector type stock.. It is not a Supra, AE86, Skyline, NSX, or a 240/260/280z... Sure there are people out there asking for top dollar for DSM's (10-12k) but those are cars of the < 20k miles variety and even then they are overpriced IMHO..
These cars should be driven IMHO and are a great platform to build some fun power on, if I want a collector car I will get a Supra or early Z..
It would have been nice to close off this review by comparing it to a 300-400hp, mildly modified DSM and explaining that is takes VERY little to extract that power from 4G63, which is why finding one stock is virtually impossible, but modified cars isn't Doug's thing.
