sumguy67 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 I really can't see too much that makes it special. Side running bars and a few bells and whistles. Not leather or anything. I'll keep the edition plate on though, just because it's cool. HA! The bumpers I made myself. High tensile steel. I think they rock, the wife not so much. HA!!!!

Alkorahil Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Shoot me the VIN and I can take a look into it. Nissan has in the past sent vehicles out to to third party companies to have them 'dressed up' for sale in limited numbers with special things on them such as the Chillout R50 and the Desert Runner D21 back in 1986. Never heard of anything like this though with a WD21 and never heard of any ever produced in the US. Edited April 27, 2010 by Alkorahil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovemaN Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 The thing that's odd to me is that the few that I have seen are acutally XEs. You would think that they would be SEs right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) I've seen one of those in a junk yard a long time ago. I would think a "special edition" would have some kick ass options like different body cladding, different wheels, POWER and memory seats, power folding mirrors, wood grain trim, accented leather (duh), upgraded stereo with a subwoofer, power sliding sunroof, door light inserts, upgraded gauges, etc. Kinda like Ford's first generation Explorer Limiteds...those things are plush as hell.

sumguy67 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 The VIN is JN8HD17YSW054835. It's a '95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) If it makes any difference, both of us are in canada. The one I had came with the oem cd and tape player, dark red pinstriping, little strips of chrome trip around the fender openings and I don't remember what else. Other than that it was your regular 95 XE pathy lol. It was the same colour as sumguy's was before he painted it.

Cruise Roof rack Rear wind deflector Rear tire carrier Power windows doors LSD Power/cruise transmission switch Can't think of anything "special" though. It did have some fancy decals on the side??? Here are some pics earlier in it's life: http://picasaweb.google.ca/106952140359333266362/Pathfinder2004# Ok, now that I've seen my own pictures (HA!) I see that it is an XE, but it has SE on the side??? Edited April 28, 2010 by sumguy67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Cant get that VIN to pull up. Called a buddy up in Canada to see if they could, same thing. Should read JN8HD17Y8SW-054835 Did you copy it down correctly? I suspect the last 6 numbers are jumbled around. I can say it was manufactured 01/95.

Nytrosfinder Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 That is neat! Maybe the special thing is that badge...and thats it... cruel joke by Nissan if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'm sure it's been used as a marketing ploy by local car dealers and ambitious private sellers. "Special edition, RARE!, #xx of only 300!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhardison Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'm sure it's been used as a marketing ploy by local car dealers and ambitious private sellers. "Special edition, RARE!, #xx of only 300!" Yes but thinking back I've never seen any dealer specials with the manufacturer logo on the id plate. Even some of the big ones I can think of like Choo Choo customs for GM trucks or in my case an ASC McLaren foxbody mustang convertible I once owned. They couldn't or wouldn't use the Chevy or Ford logo as part of their ID, logo, or numbering plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmyers23 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Talk about limited. There is a Pathy running around where I live with a turbo, v-tech, and gt-r badges. I tried to talk to the kid who owned it but he drove away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
