Vehicle Condition

The Vehicle is in decent shape considering its almost 15 years old now

There is slight rust here and there and the only truly bad spot is on the passenger side rocker panel other wise the only other thing is slight bubbles here and there and a few chips.

The interor is in very good shape for its age with no tears in any of the seats or anything. all black interior with power windows and power locks.

The motor runs beautifully, and never has any problems, for being a motor thats can run10s it has no problem on the street.

The stock gauges dont work, I believe its a blown fuse or something, the only one that works is gas gauge which is on a float so its mechanical. The only other thing is that the Emergency brake doesnt work, I believe the line was never hooked back up after swap of rear axle, otherwise everything works to my knowledge.

The car isnt built to be a daily driver, it is something to take out on friday and saturday nights to meets and for cruising around. It is on street e.t.s which are as close as you can get to slicks and still be street legal. also the car doesnt have windshield wipers as I never drove in the rain anyway. It doesnt have a headunit either as I just listened to the engine, but if the buyer wants I will do my best to try and find one to include with the car.

The car is Very fast and should be treated with respect as if your not smart about driving it you can get hurt or hurt someone else, with that said this is an extremly fun car that can easily take on vipers and zo6s with no problems. (I'd know ; ) )






Thats a direct quote from the owner, he claims its not alloud anymore till it has a cage at the local track which is a feasible story. Thanks and let me know what you all think before i step up and do this.

Ive worked a trade out with the owner, im just not to knowledgeable about if the parts listed are a great bundle or enough to support the power and so forth.So again, Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I get the feeling he didn't build it and has never raced it -- so no telling what it really has or how it runs.

450 hp sounds a little too much for just a 306 motor....my old set up: 06 forged bottom end with fully ported windsor jr heads, custom cam, and gt40 intake was about 350 hp and ran 12.38....so i dunno...car looks good though, whats the price?
