That's the galant that was for sale in alameda isn't it? Original owner and all.



You are correct. I saw it on Craigslist in Alameda and since I work in San Francisco I was 15 minutes away. Locally I was the first person to call the owner so he gave me first dibs. He said he had 2 other people that were wanting to go see it.


nice find, I thought those pics lpoked familiar aha.

After 10 years away from owning a DSM I am back!
I was big in the DSM world back in the mid - late 90s with my own performance shop, doing killer group buy deals that had RRE calling me asking "how are you selling KYB shocks at that price and still making money (bonus points if you remember the name of my website).

Anyhow I always kept my eye out for a GV4R over the past 10 years. I had owned 2 GVR4's when I had my shop and also had a 93 Eclipse and a 95 Talon. Found a deal on #330 that I just couldn't pass up. I recently moved from Fort Lauderdale, FL to San Jose, CA and while searching craigslist on my mobile app I saw "1992 Galant VR4 - needs engine". I immediately call the seller while I was at work "hello, who is this" he said. "This is the guy that is coming to buy your Galant".... Within 2 hours of the call I had the title in hand.

I'm not going to mention how much I paid for the car but suffice to say that the kid did not know what he had.

Anyway, enough with the stories. I'm happy to be back and I've already learned some stuff on this forum that I had forgetten and a ton of new stuff that has developed over the past 10 years. Like using a EVO8 ECU and Suspension on a GVR4, pretty sick.

I've also already been in the Market Place and found some nice deals from a few members on OEM parts I need to get her back into original form.

So here are the first pics of my beauty. She needs a paint job, engine, rear springs (some idiot cut the factory ones), oem radio and oem steering wheel. the interior is flawless, not a single tear in the leather. And all body pieces are intact.

I remember this car the guy was someone that didnt know or care for the car, he bought it from a friend that was the 2nd owner and he wanted to keep it but as usual most of the noobies with these cars dont know how to dig themselves out of the black hole they find themselves in, congrats on the purchase as I was going to pull the trigger on it too the day before he took the 2nd ad down from CL
