It’s a rare 1992-only W26 GT.
There was the INDY Beretta in 1990 only as that was the year the Beretta was the pace car at the Indianapolis 500 . It was offered in teal and yellow. Had color matched wheels and the sportier FE7 suspension.
In 1992, GM had leftover INDY parts to get rid of. They slapped the teal color-matched wheels on Beretta GTs and called them W26s. The W26 GTs were offered in teal, white, and black. All had the teal wheels and the FE7 suspension.
This one is a gorgeous example and I want it. New 3.1 engine, new/converted and working A/C, no rust, and a non-warped dash. The holy grail of Berettas.
Damn it for being so pricey . If he wanted...say, $2,500, I’d probably be tempted to rid myself of Jolene (blasphemy, I know), fly to St. Louis, and get this Beretta.
Alas, ‘ tis not meant to be.

My parents bought a Baretta back in the 80s but it had the 2.8l version of the V6. They put over 20 0k on it and all it ever needed was a water pump and a fuel pump. My mom loved that car even if the interior was typical GM crap.

These are one of those cars that I know aren’t supposed to be good, but I’ve always liked them a lot . The T/A racecars did it for me.

My cousin had one of these, brings back some memories for sure. Not sure of the exact year, but a GT in red. I wouldn't pay that price for this, but I don't particularly want this car. I'd imagine that if I did want it, this would be a pretty fair price

Very nice! Except the transmission. I’ll let you have it. I have liked Berettas but they have been quite rare here.

There are theoretically 5-speed W26s, but they’re even more unobtanium.

Yeah. It’s had a lot of work done to it and is one of the few honest nice examples left.
If only EssExTee could be so grossly incandescent

I’m not a manual elitist, so that is fine with me. Jolene is an auto as well.
