Car #16: Van Nuys LG4, IA area, added 9/26/2001. Justin just picked up this great looking Recaro T/A two weeks ago. Seems to be mostly original and mostly intact. 141K miles. The one big thing I noticed is the automatic transmission in it. The VIN calls for a 4-barrel / 4-speed combo but apparently this transmission has been swapped. Looks like it was done pretty legit though, as there are no obvious telltale signs of modification inside the passenger compartment. At first I thought it could be a regular AR9 T/A with swapped seats, which could explain the transmission, but the cowl plate clearly says AQ9, which means Recaro. Thanks to my friend Kevin who has proven without a doubt that this car was originally a 4-speed. There is no doubt. Anyway, other than the transmission switch and a swapped out back seat, it's great. It could use a little interior work and other minor things which are normal wear. Also a bit of under-paint surface rust is starting but it's not out of control. Pretty nice example of a Recaro.
