The bad:

Has some AFR and power issues when under heavy load/boost. After messing with it all summer last year, we did a leakdown test and discovered that it needs a valve job. (leaking past the exhaust valves a bit) It runs perfect under normal driving conditions, and gets around 30 MPG on the highway if you try. Interior could use some love, as the dash is cracked, kick panels are currently out, and the front seats are worn pretty good. The headliner needs replacing. The rear seat was re-covered last year, but it is in black vinyl and grey leather. it doesn't look bad at all, just slightly different. Its stitched the same though as stock. Small rust spots on the exterior, but nothing that can't be fixed. The rear calipers need a bit of attention, they have newer rotors, but the drivers side rear sticks from time to time. Tinted tail lights that could use a good wet sand and polish. It was in a low speed accident with me driving. Both fenders were professionally painted along with the header panel, hood and the old bumper cover. Red stripe on front bumper cover missing, and the trim behind the wheel wells in the front is also off for now. the only thing keeping it from going down the road at the moment is a dead battery... i have a spare that works. The windsheild is also cracked.

I took it for a drive this weekend..... and its a shame that I'm getting rid of it. It drives so smooth, and I'm definitely going to miss it once its gone. I have NOWHERE to store it this winter, so its got to go.

I'm asking 3,000 OR BEST OFFER. Its well worth that just in parts alone, and it drives awesome. I also forgot that its sitting on Mustang Turbines with pretty much brand new Fuzion HRI's on it.... I have 6 Snowflake wheels with shiznitty tires that will go with the car.

I can post pics if needed, once I clean out my photobucket!

An effective ad that covers all the basics for most tire-kickers. Pictures are the only thing missing. Now, anyone that asks more questions has a better chance of being genuinely interested than those that would ask basic questions over a vague ad. If you don't get any questions, then maybe the price would need to come down to peak some interest. I wish more ads were this descriptive.

:) Hopefully, its a bit dirty from sitting all summer long, but it cleans up real nice. I have a couple of small things to accomplish if it DOES sell, like putting the computer back in the footwell, bolting the passengers side seat back down (took them out to clean) and making sure I wash/wax the exterior and wipe down the interior. Its amazing how much dust acspoogeulates in a closed car when its not driven at all. LOL
