For the last couple weeks there has been a 3000GT spyder at a local dealership. I kinda want to go look at it and see if its a VR4 and see what they are trying to get for it. I know its gotta be a 95 or 96 since those were the only years they made them. But i thought it was strange to even see one since they are pretty rare...
Figured id post also in case anyone was looking for one

Ive also seen this car. ite red in color. chrome 5 spoke wheels. look like 16 or 17s though. Based off the wheels id guess it is a N/A but dot hold me to that. I think it is at a saturn dealer too hahaha

Kinda sucks that its an auto and NA. But still that thing is pretine. I kept forgetting to post about it.
It looks weird with the top on. Kinda reminds me of how the ZO6 rear is setup

Not according to this though. The SL is actually more rare. I kinda thought the vr-4 was too, but maybe not...

All Spyder SL's were automatics from the factory. It's more of a boulevard cruiser than hot rod though, but damn they look good.

That would be a sick conversion.........

There have been a few that converted to a TT engine and manual tranny. Considering how few of them were made, I wouldn't do it. The only real problem with Spyders is the scarcity of parts for the folding top and finding a qualified technician to work on it (the top).

I can see that point. All the more reason to be come more familiar with your own car lol

Even more rare than the Spyder, was the Straman Convertible Stealth. It was a dealer option, but very few people ponied up the dough for the conversion.
It is reported that only 12 of them were ever made, but some reports put the total at 75. No one really knows for sure.
