Yes, 97's were made in the USDM spec. I think there's a sheet somewhere online that actually cites the exact quantity of them that were built, but I can't find it.
Its Cuz They Got 1 Here In Chicago For Sale Or Trade And They Postd The Vin Number But I Think Its A Scam Cuz I Found Where To Check It And It Came Up As A 99 Gs-r But Im Gonna Check Tomorrow Cuz They Posted The Address Too
For $2400, even if its a replica Type R, it looks pretty good and IMO worth that price. But I doubt its a legitimate ad. With everything from a Type R to make a replica, I could see it going for MUCH more.
