Now that I think about it, I did see and drive a light blue LS with manual transmission in a test drive when I was first looking for a 94/95 164. Turns out the car had been totaled and then pasted back together with a faked title by one of those eastern European groups in the Seattle area.
Needless to say, the car wasn't very good, both for the body reconstruction and how the engine ran. Really a shame, because the car was a nice color. Would have bought a good one with that color for sure.
My first sighting of a 164 was an all refrigerator white 91S in California. I mean ALL white, including cladding. Too much, looked like a huge kitchen appliance. Uuuuuugly.
