No, sorry, I didn't get a photo because I was driving at the time, but this morning I followed a very clean and original second-generation CRX Si: stock muffler, stock wheels and stock color.

That guy must live either a life of pure jubilation or abject terror.

In reply to ssswitch: I know what you mean! I spent at least $10K in parts and two years in labor derusting and returning a 240Z to 100% original. And I had a ton of very low mileage parts already stored from others I'd modified.

After about three months of being petrified every mile I drove it, I sold it for what I had in parts, no labor. It wasn't enjoyable to drive because I was all clenched up every moment I was on the highway. And I never believed in making any ride a piece of art.

Unless their name is Leno, Lord Montague, or someone like that, I can't understand how anyone could actually drive a car kept at that level & enjoy it!

We see rust-free second gens here in LA all the time. The real rare bird is the unmolested rust-free second-gen CRX

As someone who had a relatively pristine CRX Si this year, the answer is a definite YES!

And when someone decided to run a stop sign and total it in March, it was the worst feeling ever.
