Finally! Bat's '97 Monte Carlo Blue(PICS)

[SaleenS7Rs]

Actually, the owner contacted me! He saw an old post when I was looking for an nsx. He's local here in San Diego. He cant drive it anymore due to his age. I thought, might as well look at it. Whan I saw the odo read 12k, I was like, wow! I figured he'd want at lease 45 k for it. Well, I lucked out when he told be what he wanted. So I went home, put my GTR on Craigslist, and sold it 3 days later! So i paid off the loan with the money I made from the gtr, and bought the NSX outright with cash . Who'd ever thought....I guess me and the NSX are meant to be .

Under 45,000! Yeah thats a great deal for that car with only freaking 12,000 miles. When I was hunting for one of these a year ago I would find them for well over 52,000(nowhere near 12,000 miles). I had a chance at one for 39,774 bucks with 39,000 miles. I just couldnt seem to pull the trigger. I guess because I would have to do a couple mods to it to make me happy. Soo it was still going to cost more then I was looking to pay. It just wasnt my time for the blues lol.:frown:

what made you sold the GTR for the NSX? do you miss driving the GTR?

After my totaled my 02 LBBP, I was unable to find another replacement. So I took my insurance settlement and bought another GTR. I would still have the if this guy didnt email me about his MCB. For the price, condition, and true manualD) I couldn't pass up on the deal. I do miss the performance, all the high tech gadgetry the GTR comes with, but I also missed driving a manual, better handling, sleek designed, classic! Also, not having a car payment is a big plus as well .

That color is so intense ~ right up there with Imola in terms of eye-catching for sure! :biggrin:

Very nice ride - can't wait to see this one modded the proper way!

Those LED's are looking good man

Thanks again Rick! I get tons of compliments on them. People cant believe how bright they are for LED's . I think they really update the look of the car as well .

That simply was meant to be and you would have kicked yourself if you passed on it. Nice deal and awesome color.

Another Monte Carlo Blue would be owned by our very NSXPRIME. There were 2 at XPO in vegas. The purple tint would be Midnight Blue Pearl, also known as Purple which was available in 95 and 96.

 

[GrounDDesignS]

I like your 05 better, but cant wait to see what youre gonna do with the 97.

NICE.

 

[Blue Batmobile]

I definately want to switch over to the 02 rear valence, and for the sideskirts either 02 or Downforce.

[MexiRicer]

Keeping stock front end?? I also plan on 02 rear valence and 02 sideskirts =]

 

[Ricko]

I was gonna go with the Wings West lip, but I'm afraid of excessive scraping:frown:. I'm running Bilstein Shocks right now.

Damn that looks sexy!!! :smile:

Hey don't forget to do window tint and change your carpet to black to match the mats and seats! Also, you should do a full 02 conversion and have the only monte carlo blue pearl!! :biggrin:

 

[synth19]

Not a big fan of the painted center console, but as long as you dig it. Looking forward to seeing the seats in black.

I kinda agree. With your car I'd go a nice black or silver to go with the blue and your soon to be black interior.

Love the MCB though!
