So this past weekend we came across a first gen Neon coupe. To our suprise it was a manual, and a dohc.
At first it just appeared to be a Neon Sport Coupe.

Then, it had rear disc brakes, and a swaybar. Nice!

Sure it had some questionable body modifications, but overall this Neon had a good foundation to be a solid car with great performance and handling.

It was a sad moment for this first gen Neon enthusiast to see this Neon ACR in a junkyard. But, luckily we pulled a bunch of parts off it and the parts off this car will help our first gen Neons live on further!
