This is a Larry Shinoda designed Rick Mears Special Edition polyurethane body. Custom PPG Red Rose with lots of pearl.

The 350 cu in engine has a roller cam and reworked heads backed by an automatic transmission.
The stock exhaust headers were modified to relieve back pressure and flow though Magnaflow exhaust.

The interior is stock Graphite Leather with the Bose stereo. The air conditioning is updated to R134a.

This car is in EXCELLENT condition, looks and drives incredible and needs nothing.

$14,900 - reasonable offers considered. Located in Iowa.

No it's not. It is an original urethane package from Larry Shinnoda. It came with two tails and two lower door panels, along with the badges that I never applied. The tails were round and oval tail lights. I used the newer style because I thought it looked sharper with the spoiler.

The paint was sprayed by a high end shop in 2005. It looks as nice as the day I picked it up. The pearl looks fantastic in the sunlight.

I just noticed I didn't answer your question, sorry about that.
In 2005. Still looks like the day I brought it home.
