lizsol Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Just recently getting into the del sol scene(previouse cars owned were 5.0 mustang coupe and firebird formula)i've always liked the look of the del sol and finally was able to purcase one though not in the best of shape it's solid moslty just need some interior parts. The engine and tranny seem to run great. The car will be used moslty by my GF but i wll get to use it on weekends. I will try to get some pics up soon. My question is what would you guys say are the most rare factory del sols? ie paint, options, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Green, Japanese-spec, 1997 Honda CRX delSol with transtop. Such a car would have had ABS, Traction Control, fogs (front and rear), and a DOHC VTEC motor. A Gathers audio system would be icing on the cake.

Xeryon Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 By production numbers the 96 and 97 Del Sol VTEC model is the hardest to find. Pick up a nice Cypress Green Pearl and you have one of only a handful sold in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_adbell Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 i would like 7, 8 and 14.. and a motegi edition.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 The cup holders in the US versions were a stock part on all models. However, they were completely useless in a 5spd car as you had to hold your arm at a crazy unnatural angle to attempt to shift if you had anything larger then a soda can in the cup holder.

I guess it migh have been a rare option in other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Many other countries have laws against eating or drinking while driving. Many sols shipped to mixed markets, like europe, just omitted certain parts by default so the car was suitable for sale in multiple countries right from the factory. It was then up to the individual dealership to offer and install items that were standard in other parts of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 the motegi and daytona edition del sols were very rare. i think they were just left over 97s that they made with a custom interior and the exterior was dark green or silver i believe. someone correct me if im wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
