Dawning from the year the U.S. landed on the moon. This was Mr. X’s first car. Lots of time, effort, tows, and tribulations, to get it to the point it is now. While its not the fastest or cleanest. It still brings Mr. X much joy and nostalgia.

A dream car manifested over many years, this AE86 came into Mr. X’s life via a very last second (and sketchy) Craigslist buy many states away. Though it was a tough and long breakdown-filled journey to transfer it to its new home, and then another by the way of trailer, this car has undergone an Itsuki-to-Takumi transformation that is sure to bring awe to many with its raw, 8000 RPM 20V 4A-GE. And, though it may not be a concours show car, it's so far it's the only car Mr. X has that has original factory paint!
