Yeah that was an error, corrected. It was the Scion FR-S Sports Coupe Concept at the 2011 New York Auto Show just prior to going on sale and was the third concept released. It encorperated the same lines as the 5:AD body kit. It is not uncommon to dumb down a concept for production, but the body kit allowed you to bring your car closer to concept.

Yes, that should be @Pekingduck. Here's his build thread...

If I recall correctly, he was gifted a Five Axis Design ducktail at delivery. Some of the dealerships made a big deal of the 1st 86 group deliveries, and some barely acted like they cared you had bought the car from them.

Curious where it will end up.

[Pekingduck]

Yup that mine. I selling in part due to my recent purchase of the m3 and not getting the satisfaction that I want out of the car anymore. Yes I got the 5axis kit, change the rear spoiler, etc. I had a option of the rocket bunny but wouldn’t have been able to revert back to stock. I enjoy the time with the car and I hope it find a good home.

I was at Longo Scion/Toyota when he took ownership.I was #10 on the waiting list at Longo Scion and I was invited to the event for the first 86 at the Longo dealership. Good times!

I was hoping to sell my car to someone that would had appreciated my car but the deal fell through. I will just end up selling it to big online retailer.

Wow yeah I figured it would go for like $40k-$50k. Although I guess first sold in the U.S. isn't the same as first ever made or something. (Or owned by Christopher Walken, etc...)

Unlikely, its a 10 year old used car with a little bit of an interesting history. It might sell for that 50 years from now, but not when there are so many of them available in the market.

I doubt even VIN 0001 would sell for $50K today, well unless it was owned by Christopher Walken.
