You know I always look at the photo in your sig and think it's a 95 or a 96 because it looks so good. The wheels are a give away to the year, but I just can't shake the thought that is newer.

She was too far gone. I still miss her. That was three years ago. I"m telling man that 3.1 ran real good. Much better than this 3100 I have now and it has less miles.

If taken care of, the 60 degree v6 will last forever. Its all ive ever owned (1996 Olds Cutlass 3100, 1995 Olds Cutlass 3100, and now my Beretta.) The Cutlass paid for the Beretta, gotta love full coverage ( I hit 3 deer within 24 hours). My dad actually found the beretta for me when I was searching for a car. He used to have a Blue 89 GT 5 speed which started my love for Berettas. Sorry to get off topic, but if you do find the foam (preferably passenger bottom because it would have been used less), I will also pay for the K&N filter for the Indy. What color was your GT? Also, here is a picture of my dash to prove its an 89 (I prefer the older style other than the build quality)

Take very good care of that dash. It's ultra rare to find one in that shape. Even harder to find one to replace it if it cracks.
Yeah the passenger side is the best bet for good foam. Sounds good on the filter.
The 90GT was Maroon.
I agree on the dash, I really like the older dash better and the controls too. Sometimes I forget that I no longer have the slider for the wipers. LOL I did put close to 100k on the 90 and drove it for over ten years.

Today I bought the teal back seats, a teal indy eggcrate with a perfect red emblem, and some back seatbelts today for a whole 40 dollars. The seats are all installed and look really good. The emblem is on my car and the seatbelts are for the yellow indy because hers are ruined from the mold.

Yeah I bought a set with a #47 thinking that would be the one. I was looking at two sets and said "what do you want to bet it's a 47" to the GF.
Well no luck at the JY, the only Beretta there was an 89.
Now if you need a Cavy STB and a frame brace I got them. There were two more sets, but I feel that four STB's and three braces is too much.

Thank you for looking. I already have a cavi STB, its body colored and you may be able to see it in the picture above. I dont think the gf wants one just yet. Is the 89 a gt or a base? Ive been looking for a beretta gt dash badge since ive had the car (It says "beretta gt" instead of beretta).

And a very nice STB it is.
The 89 was a base and didn't have anything worth keeping on it.
Yeah I tried to talk her into a STB long ago. I just thought by now she would be sold on the idea.

You can use a wire brush on your upper to get rid of the crusty stuff. Or if you want a green 3M pad works too.
The frame brace could be used on your cars.

Not a Indy Beretta but the seats look great in the Beretta. Very clean Beretta.
