Finally - A BERETTA OWNER ONCE MORE! :)

Long story short on my Beretta history - I started out with a 1990 GT 3.1/5spd as my first car - I found Beretta.net back in 1999. The GT's engine block cracked at ~175k on it and in 2000 I found a 93 Quasar GTZ for sale in Montana. I loved the car and owned it until 2005. Foolishly I sold the GTZ after buying an SRT-4 new in '05. I never saw my old GTZ again - I searched - I even CarFax'd the VIN hoping for a lead as to who had it or where it was... nothing...
Fast forward to last month. After a long search, I found another GTZ...
This is what I spent my weekend picking up... a SWEET 1993 Q4 GTZ! This thing is in great condition! I had to drive 1300+ miles round trip to pick it up in Wisconsin, but the trip was totally worth it! I'll not be making the same mistake I made with my previous 93 Quasar GTZ - I'm older and wiser now - I'm hanging onto this car forever!

It needs the motor reassembled and installed, but it's all there - It feels like I got my old car back - I can't believe it!!! In a way I felt bad for buying it because I know how much the seller loved the car but at least he knows it went to someone who will absolutely respect and take care of the car - Plus he'll always know it's safe because I'll never get rid of it.

LOL! Altough - My previous 93 didn't have a speed limiter...?? Rev, yes; Speed, no. IIRC, Chris88CL clocked me on GPS doing ~130mph or so. I wonder if the 1993 SCX W41 memcal I had in it removed the limited if there was one?

Quads are limited to ~140MPH, However not that easy to reach that limiter.

Very nice Beretta. It looks to be in very good condition. As I was scrolling down I was expecting the blue interior but still very nice. How is the dashboard any bubbling?

I recently bought my first beretta. seeing as I just turned 18 I wanted to graduate from the lame minivan I once drove. I now own a 1992 beretta gt w26. in immaculate shape. and I am in love with it. I have some money coming and it will be going into my beretta. I have 2 10in and a single 15 im going to try to squeeze in the trunk with a deh 4400 hd pioneer stereo. no amp tho. :/ after I accomplish that its on to body mods.

Yeah, my old 93 GTZ had the blue interior; I wouldn't have minded if this one was blue, but I do prefer the gray interior.
As for the dash, it's virtually perfect - Again, as good as could be expected for a 20 year old car.
