$3000 OBO

The time has finally come for me to depart with my GS-R. I've owned her for 20 1/2 years, since May of 1999. Have put over 210,000 miles on her myself (car was purchased with 135,000 miles). Reason for selling is I can no longer use the GS-R as a daily driver. Due to it's age and required upkeep I just don't feel like maintaining it anymore. I have another car that I work on in the garage and at this point in my life I just don't have the time (or patience) to have to perform much work on more than one car at a time. Details below:

Milan Red 1992 #817. Interior is 9/10, exterior is 7/10, mechanically I would say car is 8/10. 346,000 miles on car. Has all original body panels. Car needs a new paint job. Engine was dynoed 2 months ago and put down 144 whp. . I have owned the car since May 1999. All service records from last 20 years are available. Transmission was rebuilt 40,000 miles ago. Cylinder compression test performed April of 2018 with the following results: Cylinder 1 - 180 psi, Cylinder 2 - 172 psi, Cylinder 3 - 172 psi, Cylinder 4 - 170 psi. Car currently has minor coolant and oil leaks. Oil consumption is also visible in exhaust while on the big cam.. All oil changes in last 15 years have been with Mobil 1 synthetic.

Latest Maintenance Items (off top of my head, can give more accurate dates by consulting my hard copy records:

Sale pending.

 

Best one ive seen in years. You'll regret this sale 10 years from now 👍

 

Its a Honda, not a lambo.

 

looks good for miles and age.

 

very cool

 

Thanks for kind words. Like I said I've owned this car since May of 1999. Will feel weird to part with, but nothing lasts forever!

Serious interest at moment from people in Rhode Island and Georgia.

 

pm'd

 

Just keep it...you have already had it for over 20 years

3k obo isnt going to do anything financially

 

Yeah I know, but it's $500/year in auto insurance. And the temptation to keep working on it would get to me. And I have 2 other cars, this one would be kept on the street and I feel like its exterior condition would degrade exponentially from 100% weather exposure.

Also I made a mistake in my OP, the car is #817 off the assembly line. #777 is the production number for another car of mine, whoops.

 

Paint it, put it close to stock or stock, go through everything, and then drive it. This car will never be a $50,000 car but it will certainly go UP in value not down.

Like said before $3,000 isn't **** and paying $500 in insurance a year also isn't ****. These cars don't grow on trees and if you have no use for it I'd try to flip it into an investment of type.

 

Is this still available? Do you think it would make a trip back to New England? Is there any rust on the body? Do you know where the oil leaks are coming from?

 

Sorry car is no longer available. But yes, I am/were fully confident it would make a trip to New England no problem. No rust on body. Oil leak was on backside of engine below intake manifold. Thanks for your interest.

Again, car is SOLD.

 

Group shot of all 3 cars together before sail. GTI is GSR's replacement. Bittersweet.

 

congrats

 

Wish there was a green or Canadian blk one in Cali. Very clean!
