One day, the track had us run only 1/8th mile and it ran a 6.75 @102.2 which factors into a 10.65 in the 1/4. There's more in it with some tuning and just the right launch.
Asking $14,800 or shoot me an offer

Blue dash with grey seats? Can't believe I'm really asking this as it SHOULD be grey, but it is a little tough to tell with the lighting.

wordy1 it's just the way the pic was taken with the flash. The seats on the grey interior are always light and the dash is like the GN....a darker shade of grey

Thanks, Clem
 
Seen this car in person several times. It's nice and it's fast. Sorry to see you selling it.
I might have a video of it from the last time I saw you at NED...

Pronto, appreciate you posting that video for me! I know, I'm going to miss her when she's gone, it's just time to move on.

Thanks again, Clem
 
Yeah I figured I was seeing things, but I had to be sure, as I know sometimes people like to change things... Thanks for the clarification, what a sweet ride.... a little too much than what I'm looking for, for a weekend driver, but it is tempting.. Man I wish I was out of school and making big money already, but I guess my time will come... Good Luck with the sale, I sure hope it goes to a good home..
 
hi! nice car were is it located? And does the a/c work i'm in oc california.You can also call me Ralph 714 457-6839
 
any additional pics and any other details:like rust, miles on build, who did the build...etc.

Erik, There's no rust on the car. I'm not sure how many miles on the build, but I believe a guy Craig Brown out of California did it. Don't have any idea how to get in touch with him now. I've only put on 4,500 miles in the 3-1/2 years I've owned it. I feel most of the build was done just B-4 I got it in 2003
Note: pics don't show, but new 3.8 SFITurbo, "T" & Regal quarter emblems are now installed.

Ralph, it cost about $1200 back in 03 in an enclosed professional transport, but it would be much more today with the cost of fuel. If you go with an open trailer, it would be less, but may not arrive in the condition of a closed trailer. It was registered in Ca. B-4 and the plates (tags) came with it, but it is now registered in Mass. Yes it has a roll bar...5 point w/ removeable drivers & rear cross bars. 1 pic of bar in trunk above and 1 below. Blue harness does not come with car, they expired. It now has black platinum harness that are rebuildable for free in Sept. 07

Guys this is a sweet car that I have seen in person at the strip.

A tough sell in the winter. Why not wait till spring?
 
Clem this is a beautiful car, I emailed you last week. If only the transport was cheaper I would be all over this!
 
Bump Bump Bump

This is by far the best deal on the board write now. A true 10 second street car 20+mpg, with all the comforts of a daily driver. A/C, cruise, concert sound stereo, power seat, all the options, with a list of mods costing thousands, never mind the labor for installing / building a car of this magnitude for a price of a 1987 Buick T in stock form and this clean.
