By all accounts, it is the only Pearly White USDM FD.

But so what??

It's only a small variation of a white paint colour, it's not like it's a uber-desirable engine/gearbox combo, or a spec'd up limited edition equipment pack.

Like I said in the locked thread over there, it ain't no Hemi 'Cuda.

It'll never be worth anything. Curiosity value only.

We don't have all those model year choices that you guys down under have
93-95 is as far as we get legally . This is more rarer that a CYM, and there's 300-350 of them. An those CYMs still fetch a better value than most FDs that go to the for sale sections.

This car in no way compares to a Hemi 'Cuda or even a Charger Daytona. Outside of the rotary community it's noting special....but it IS special to us. Like I said before, if I have enough funds for the car I would save it from the LS swap. If he still has it in 4 months when I get back stateside maybe we can work a deal.

Hey, INSIDE the rotary community it's nothing special, that's my point!!

This seems kind of strange. I thought that the car that was supposed to be the only pearly white factory car in existence was an eibach promotion car. Why would this one be all modified? Especially if it had the full pedigree that it would have surely have had at the point of sale. This guy who is selling it has no paperwork about where this car came from and its modified. However if it is actually a 1 of 1 and gets ls swapped this guy will have a country full of angry rotorheads after him.

Which makes perfect sense. They are sacrificing safety either way. lol
