How did this car not get used and abused?  It's in remarkable condition and available just in time for $2/litre gas.

Watching this one. It's in Montreal, and at no reserve. Hoping this creampuff gets higher bids. Sitting at 2,500 USD since listed, 4 days to go.

Edit: Revelations would be all over this!

It is an interesting time capsule but not a great spec. Late car of the mainstream brand with the base black bumpers. A Pontiac Firefly would neat. Or an earlier turbo or Swift GTi model. Mind blowing price. What are you going to do with it? Besides sit in a museum or collection?

I'd want the convertible too! I forgot about that one. The Suzuki Forsa turbo might be the most rare version.  8)

Now that is bloody cool!  Illegal without any fenders up here, but cool nonetheless.  Be nice if they had some better on the road video of it, sounds like it could sound as cool as it looks.
