Wheels are different than what Keith was running, but the rest sure looks like his former GTS. Beautiful car with tasteful enhancements.

The console looks a lot like what Keith had. The wheels he had made were one-off's so that's a loss. Otherwise a good car for a discriminating buyer. Odd to see it offered by a Honda dealer though.

A Honda Dealer doing a complete engine out reseal including head gaskets on Porsche's finest. What could possibly go wrong?

Ya gotta love that in that list of work that they did, no mention at all of the TB/WP.

Really not sure why it would have needed new head gaskets or any of the other seals for that matter. Seems Keith had this car in tip top shape. Last time this car was on eBay I think it sold for under 30k. And it took a while

Keith hasn't had this car for a few years now. It has changed owner two or three times since. Lots of things could have happened.

Always thought this was the cleanest double-DIN conversion ...

A 5-speed GTS for less than $50K and people are still sitting here talking? It's a Honda dealer- offer $38K, go get it, ask questions later.

Yeah, That's his old car.
Same color, double din, silver calipers....
Still looks really clean!

Not sure if a Honda dealer capable of an "engine out reseal"??

Someone will get a good buy on that car!

Keith had a lot of issues with the original wheels which were hand built in CA, so perhaps they still had problems. I have a set on my 89, and am not crazy about them, especially after being chromed.

Default he he he...

John, you read my mind, might could get it for 35-40k, good entry point for a nice GTS, but have you seen oil prices lately? I have to quit thinking that way since the oil industry is in a MAJOR down cycle. I need to reduce the herd not increase it.

The car looks very nice. I especially like the center console.
