Looks brand new :) Now put it into a car bubble and never touch it again!

Nice! So it's one of those that got bought and stored away all these these years? Or just stuck it on there for nostalgic reasons?

She was socked away in California for 18 years. This is as she looks today. The sticker is just for fun...

So what are you going to do with it ? Drive it? Park it? I am not sure what to do with a car like that.

Did you buy this car to collect and store and only pull to out on the driveway to blow off dust?

OH so you did buy Legendary's GTS can't believe there would be two different cars with 716 miles on it. Saw it in person and yes it is perfect but that's the problem I wouldn't be able to drive it. Bought a slightly used one with 15,000 miles on it which I have no intention of selling and plan to hit 100,000 miles asap! Congrats on your purchase hope you actually drive it but that car is a museum piece!!

I actually bought this car sight unseen because you told me how perfect it was! You were right, it's flawless. I spent a few months looking for a blue/white with 4-5,000 miles, but most of what I found was used, abused and overpriced. My philosophy is to pay more up front for the best car possible, rather than paying for sh*** later. Will I drive this car? Yes. Will she be worth anything 5-10 years from now? Who the hell knows. All I know is that I found the perfect car for me. This is my third, and favorite, Blue/White GTS Coupe. I love the way she looks, I love the way she drives and I get a thrill every time I see her sitting in my garage. Cheers!

Worth every penny for peace of mind and the quality. You definitely want to do the power steering pulley and bracket upgrade. Tires too if they are the original.

I wonder if a collector, at some point in the future, would frown upon a car with an upgraded power steering bracket and pulley?

Simple answer is yes for any collector who values originality. Lots of other factors influence value but originality is near the top of the list. Even more important than mileage.

Enjoy the car, it is basically a brand new 18 yr old car. That first stone chip will be a killer. Lots of vipers out there but every time I walk into my garage that B/W puts a grin on my face!!

That's why you keep it just in case. I still have mine but my car will never be stock again. Previous owner didn't save the stock brakes and shocks among other things but I only paid $35,000 for mine with 27,000 miles since I convinced the previous owner he ruined the cars value with upgrades:D
