Default I am now on to my 5th 240SX!

Yes, fellow Nissan enthusiasts, you read the title correctly. I have now had five 240SX's, and this latest one is the best one yet.

A summary of the 240SX's that I've had as follows

1) 1989 Maroon Coupe Automatic XE
2) 1989 Charcoal Hatchback Automatic Base
3) 1990 Maroon Hatchback 5sp SE
4) 1990 Charcoal Coupe 5sp XE
5) 1990 Super White Automatic XE

This is the most complete 240SX I've purchased yet, and as a bonus, it has kept the legacy that I've always come across the least expensive S13's to own. Granted they aren't always the most perfect condition, and all of them have required a little bit of work to get up to spec, but hey, knowing how to work on these things helps out sometimes!

Pics this afternoon, but a quick summary as follows:

White coupe, automatic transmission, black interior, excellent condition dash. FULL FACTORY AERO ,but No sunroof, No power windows, No power locks, No power mirrors! A very rare package indeed! SOHC POWER with 125k miles! The motor runs beautifully and I'll take care of it so it will continue to do so for a very long time. It should do fine for what I ask of it - drive me to school and to work every day with the A/C Crankin'. Speaking of which, the AC Cranks like no tomorrow! Scott and I went to Friday's last night and had team ice-box in full effect, hahaha. The power steering also works great, Anybody got an S13 Power steering resivoir cap?!?? Mine's gone!! Hook me up, hehehe.

Rocking Teardrops on all four corners, the only mods this car is going to see are new studs on all four corners, (I tried removing the front studs, EACH LUGNUT broke off when I tried to remove it, so I haven't removed the rear wheels yet, until I get studs to replace with ) and the trust DD exhaust system that I have running full silencers until I can find someone who wants to donate a stock exhaust system.

The car already has a CD Player in it by Sony that is period-correct, however I need to get some rear speakers for it. The ones that are in the car don't work. :wtc:

Ah well, with the wolverine gone I now have a nice and calm daily driver; I can't believe how a well mannered car can change a hellacious commute to school/work into a calm complacent cruise

Hopefully #5 will stay in the family for a good time to come. Pics as soon as I detail it!
