AMAZING condition. Sounds and drives great, and guaranteed to turn heads everywhere you go. I've driven this car from DC to Key West and Boston and back. It is turnkey, ultra-reliable, and ready to run!

The car has high mileage on it, nearly 170K miles, but engine's only got 20K miles in 10 years. The transmission is even newer, rebuilt by Dynotech in 2007, has a very stiff shift and extremely strong lock-up. The exterior was repaired with hammered, spring steel metal work and a new paint job three years ago. The interior is extremely immaculate and very comfortable, with Dynamat and Acoustimat'ing in all quarter panels and doors. Add to that an Alpine stereo with XM and you get one of the best rides in comfort and speed.

Here is an incomplete list of detailed upgrades and improvements made to an already impressive car:
o New paint three years ago, needs a little buffing on certain areas to get it back to perfect, stained from leaves sitting on top.
o Newly built transmission by Dynotech Performance with:
o Reconditioned BR valve body
o New separator plate
o High flow lock up solenoid
o 3rd and 4th gear valve body switches
o Billet 2nd apply servo, modified
o Custom shift kit

Rebuilt engine by Jack Merkel with the following:
o XP plus fuel pump
o Voltage booster
o Hot wire kit
o Accufab Adjustable fuel regulator
o Fuel pressure fuel rail gage
o 160 degree thermostat
o 009 (42.5#) Lucas injectors, newly cleaned and flow tested (result sheet available)
o RJC Racing Boost Controller
o Adjustable pressure regulator for boost control
o Modified oil pan with magnetic drain plug
o Manley "severe duty" valves
o Moly piston rings
o Diamond forged turbo pistons
o Super duty alloy main bearings
o HD connecting rod and cam bearings
o Speed Pro double roller timing set
o Competition Cams "dyno proven" custom grind hydraulic camshaft
o ARP connecting rod bolts and main studs
o New core plugs
o Precision ground crankshaft
o Precision balanced rotating assembly
o Blueprinted oiling system
o Blueprinted timing cover
o Speed Pro high volume oil pump with thrust plate
o Oil passages enlarged and smoothed to enhance oil flow
o High performance hydraulic lifters
o Heads machined with 3 angle valve seats, exhaust bowl area enlarged with 4th angle
o New exhaust valves undercut to enhance airflow
o Viton seals
o HD LT1 spec valve springs
o Heads glass beaded
o Heads milled for metal O-ring around each cylinder
o Heavy duty water pump
o 12 inch 2800-3000 stall torque converter
