In the world of automotive rarities, few things can match the exclusivity of the Subaru Impreza WRX GC. Larry Chen and team come across a true unicorn - one of only 87 ever produced WRX STI S201 owned by Arthur Chiang. This particular GC model, with its unique two-tone exterior and factory-installed body kit, is a sight to behold. And Arthur, being the Subaru enthusiast that he is, couldn't resist the opportunity to restore it to its original glory.

Imported from Japan, this Impreza WRX GC is a testament to Subaru's dedication to performance and style. With its adjustable suspension, powerful engine, and show-stopping triple-decker wing, it's clear that this car means business. But it's not just the exterior that sets this car apart. Inside, the stock seats with special stitching and the factory shift knob add a touch of authenticity to the driving experience. And while some may question the value of this rare gem compared to the legendary 22B, true Subaru enthusiasts understand the significance of this GC model.

As Arthur continues his restoration journey, he remains dedicated to preserving the essence of this unique Impreza WRX. From the original paint to the STI upgrades, every detail matters. And while he acknowledges that finding parts for this rare car can be challenging, he is determined to restore it to its former glory. This car is not just a collector's item, but a true testament to Subaru's commitment to performance and innovation. This Impreza WRX GC is a piece of automotive history.
