wrong wheels, those wheels are the 15"x6.5" BBS wheels from a 'vert:



and see your lip on that is the standard black runner lip found on most FCs, not a front spoiler:

I believe they're the same. Funny, I used to have a '91 vert and had only one center cap. Looks like you needed it. Ah well. I can't wait to get another FC... It'll be awhile because I am a bit too poor for one.

Trust me, when I say I'm broke... I mean $25 in the bank broke with no job. I'm still searching for a job and not even Taco Bell took me in.

A 90 GTUs is an extremely rare car, sad to see someone took poor care of it. You would be better off fixing it up and selling it. You'll get top dollar from anyone who knows something about GTUs.

So let me get this straight! 2 of the 10 ever produced black 90 GTUs's sold in the same week for under 2 grand each. I saw the first black one CLICK HERE but it had a steel hood and some other things seemed sketchy about it. DelSlow, are you going to replace the hood? Also, when you are at 80mph what does the tach read? As for the second one, the govt impound, what did you decide to to with it?

yeah I was rather skeptical myself, especially when you consider the wheels.

yes, im planning on replacing the hood with an aluminum T2 hood because im planning on swapping in a T2 engine. Im doing this because i believe the side seals on the N/A motor in it now may be getting a little worn because im getting some oil smoke at +6k rpm. What gear at 80 mph?

I bought a Turbo'd GTUs last August for 6k, only 120k on the odom. The Jpec blew b/c I didn't have a IC. It has a huge sunroof installed and is black on black. Damn thing pulled way tooo strong in the first couple gears.............so sad the motor blew, here comes a rebuild from Sir Landers though. Just taking me some time to pull the block buddy.

The big give away, on your would be that the car will have 4 piston front brakes and have the tire pressure sticker only listing 205/55-16 tires

ok, what is the deal! 3 1990 GTUs in one week. Here is the third CLICK HERE

Maybe it is 90 GTUs week!

Delslow: go 80 in 5th and the tach should read around 4K, which is a dead giveaway for a GTUs

ok....i looked on the door....it DOSE say 205/55 16, and it DOSE have 4 piston front calipers.. i looked at the back, but it looks like just a single caliper with vented disc's on rear! I jacked the rear of the car up, and spun one wheel, and the other one spun the same way! i crawed under it, but did not see no id tag or anything about the gear ratio. It dont have norm/sports shocks switch on console.. it dose have a aluminum hood, it has roll up windows, it dont have a sunroof, and has a basic factory stereo in it. ..aren't these things have packages on them like a turbo car dose???... well another thing i found is, that i found a recipt in the glove box that shows that in 1997, the owner bought some RX-7 wheels out of a salvage yard in North Carolina.. so that mite explain the reason for the other rx whells on it??? what ya think???
