If so then I have something more than I thought I had. And my car has a few more options as well. Hmmmmmm.

Re: Are these claims true?

Nice car. I would buy that one. Not at that price maybe, (not because it's not "worth" it as such, more because I think I can find one without having to spend that much) but...

As far as your car, who knows. As old as these cars are, their "worth", "value", "desirability", etc. has ALOT less to do with "1 of xxx" than the options they came with, and their condition.

About THE ONLY TPI car I would consider buying, is a G92 5-speed one. Putting a better motor in is a piece of cake. But getting all that other good stuff,,,,, ...... ,, ..... not so much. But, that's just me; YMMV.

Re: Are these claims true?

I think some of it is bull. Dont know if the #'s are true. 1 of 607 probably isnt correct. Its hard to try and track down the exact build #'s of our cars. Since its a 92, there could be better records than with my 89 but we'll probably never know. Hope he's not trying to sell it as a 1LE car because its not. Still a very nice car with the window sticker.

Great. The incorrect information about a different MK6 first gear keeps on trucking.

Re: Are these claims true?

That's a nice 5sp and with no power options its even Lighter so if you were to say put in a 350 and maybe a cool FLOWMASTER 80's series exhaust Then you'd have one BADD Ride !

Re: Are these claims true?

Nice car, but would like it better if it did nto have a respray and was a T-top car. I understand why it's a hard top, but just saying. I think the seller thinks the car is a bit cooler than it is.
