Wanted to throw this out there and see what everyone thinks it'd be worth...the one glaring negative is the trans is stock and slips a bit, so eventually it'll need one. Other than that it's a clean car with literally A FORTUNE in it!! I just got the car for $13,500 and I have NO money right now to do anything so I'm contemplating letting it go. It's a sad thing to do because I've always wanted one and this thing's BADASS!!

So again, negatives: Trans slips 2-3 shift, not horrible but it does. I'm sure it'll last quite a while like this but as I said I have ZERO money right now. Passenger door rubs the fender a bit, just needs the fender re-aligned, 6"x3" spot of paint missing on hood, and blower motor is shot. Not terrible things really, most are dirt cheap to fix. I'm just trying to be upfront about it.

Will include both a front mount intercooler, and set of stainless headers, both BRAND NEW, never on a car. No, I won't sell them seperate. If I don't sell the car then they'll get installed on it.

Paint is nice, body is straight, body & frame are solid, few surface rust spots on the undercarriage but for a G-body she's more solid than 85% of NE cars.

I'm not 100$ dead set on selling her, because I love the car, but right now this is my ONLY car and I have no funds to do anything. It's obvious I'm going to take a hit on the car but I'm hoping for $12k, if not I'll keep it and do what I have to. The car's been built with no expense spared, add some tlc and you'll have the baddest ass T EVER!!!

The motor pic is from February when the harness was done, since then it's had a new TIAL wastegate installed, new intake setup, and a few other odds/ends.

Nice car, I wouldn't mind one of them myself ... I just cant get myself to sell my T/A though ... lol

Snapped a couple quick pics, please forgive the dirt on the floor mats. As I said it's my daily right now and I only stopped home to take a few quick shots so it's not very clean. If you look in the 1 interior shot you'll see the 1 and only rust spot on the car, in the door jamb below the a-pillar. It's only on the driver's side. Other than that everything's perfect. Doors are solid, trunk is, frame is, body is.

And is IS official, it's for sale. $12k as it sits with everything or I can negotiate from there without the spare headers/intercooler, and with stock driveshaft. Parts in it are definately worth more than I'm asking. And fyi, the internals consist of JE pistons, eagle rods, and scat crank.
