The Bad:
Car does have a couple of very small chips, rust spot( not through paint),and small cracks in exterior paint. Very unoticable though.

AC/ Heater have been removed

Spedometer does not work, comes with the cable if you want to install it though. You will need to buy a gear changer adapter for a couple bucks to have it calibrated correctly.

Price=10k or best offer

Shipping will cost up to 900.00 to any city/ state within the continental US. You can also fly in and drive home.

All of the kinks have been worked out of this car and I would feel very comfortable jumping in, driving from LA to New york, then to Miami, then back to LA without being concerned about mechanical failure.

This car sold 3 years ago for over 8K and since then I have overhauled the interior, put some kick ass rims on it, added a pioneer stereo, and worked out all of the small mechanical problems that come with swaps of this nature. It will be on the forums for 2 weeks then it goes to ebay. PM me for questions and stuff.

It used to live in Temecula a few years ago before i got it and and redhabbed it. As for a trade a think my wife would kill me. I think my next car will be a 240 vert or rx7 vert and I'll do an LS1/LT1 swap. Also, thanks for the kind words, this car draws crowds wherever it goes. I even get thumbs up from old lady's. Who woulda thought it.

No drag racing, but I was tempted to hit it with some nitrous and go to the strip. This car was mainly used for canyon cruising and set-up pretty well for it. It would be great for drifting with all the torque. Closest I came to drifting it was some burn-outs though.

"Supercharger Ready! W/ oil return depending on which type you intend on using "
Are you saying the pan is already tapped?

Yes! Currently it's blocked off with an oil plug bolt.

Couple updates. Since people have wondered about the small rust spot I just added a pic in the photobucket from page 1( it's really tiny and isn't noticable, best to disclose though). Also, I have the heater ready to be installed if any buyer wants it in.
