WOW!!! I want that white Z! Is it blue or grey inside? Can you put up some shots of the interiors of your Berettas? And I'd like to see the white ones engine bay. Have you looked underneath the white Z yet? 100% rust free?

You and I both! I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to buy it. Its brand new. Never driven in the elements. You can tell by the underside of it. Im shocked by how clean it is underneath because these cars are so common for rust right at the back by the bumper.

The drivers seat has no folding of the material. The seats look strong and new. The interior is flawless. No door dings or scratches.

There are not many of these berettas left anymore. I NEVER see a z26 let a lone a gtz etc.

This car has more appeal to me than the g8 does, if you can believe that. Its naustalgic.

I'm gonna come beat you up and steal that car!

Honestly I thought mine was in really good shape when I found it and this puts mine to shame since my rear bumper reinforcement and bumper shocks are rusted quite a bit.

Luckily bumper reinforcements are cheap and easy to replace though... its more the shocks that are impossible to find unfortunately. You'd think they'd be available from somewhere since they are the first things to go when you get hit.

WOW.. its the clone to my 96 only its a little cleaner.. better watch it when you bring that to my house, i might just swap the plates from mine lol. in the dark you might not know the difference :)

cant wait to see it up close, now it sucks even more i cant drive my 88 too, cuz we both have matching white Z's plus the 88 cruising down the main drag all at once would be super cool. I might just have to pay 1 month insurance on the 88 just to do that LOL.

This is how your engine bay will look before you leave my house LOL. maybe a little cleaner though..

and i thought mine was looking good, minus the flaky GM paint.

Does this one at least have power windows ?

i really want a 2nd 96, i think you should leave it at my house and keep your 94 lol.

If it wasnt for the crapy GM paint just falling off my car would be that clean, it has some rust underneath but is bare minimal. There is surface rust around my wheels but its not pitted, i can dust it off with 600 grit paper and it brings it to bare metal, i just have not had time at all to touch it up, ive had the paint for over 2 months.

Cant wait to see this thing up close next week, we will have to line them up and see what ones faster lol.

Glad you found a 96 though. ive neglected my 88 since ive owned the 96. It just sits in the driveway looking pretty lol, at least the body isnt getting beat up with all the millage.

My car will never be as shiny as Rons, I have had my 96 for 15 months and have put 96,000 Km on it, mine gets driven every day and driven hard most of the time, Mine see's rain and snow last winter and gravel and construction roads daily, as a daily driver its never going to be perfect. @ 320,000 KM on my 96 id say its in pretty fair condition. lol.

At least i have changed my ways a little.. if you notice i have stock rims now, and no big aftermarket spoiler on the 96 LOL. trying to keep it looking like a beretta not a ricer.

It was a pleasure getting to drive the red beast, even though im a knob and thought the gps was sending me the wrong way after i took a 2 hour detour getting to you lol (my bad). It was a great drive back, heres some photos of the beauty.
