****LISTING UPDATED WITH NEW INFO AND MUCH LOWER PRICE...PLEASE SEE LAST POST****




Hey guys, i am thinking I may want to sell my car and start over. Ill start by saying that I dont need to sell the car but the body guys around my area are pretty pricy and i think i would rather buy one thats already done. I have put a lot of blood and sweat into the mechanical part of this car and thats why i really dont want to sell it. The price is $8,000 and I dont have a lot of wiggle room there.
Its white with a white vinyl top, burgundy interior. It does have the astroroof.
This car is a 15-20 footer by my standards. The car has 190,200 miles but i dont think anything that is on the car now has seen that many miles. It has a lot of paint touchups from the previous owner. The vinyl top is starting to show its age. I think there are 2 small cracks in it. On both sides of the car at the base of the vinyl top, there are some rust bubbles starting to form. The front header panel has many rock chips and the front bumper fillers are starting to crack. There are small rust bubbles starting to form on the passenger side quarter panel and on one spot on the deck lid. The passenger side floor pan is rusted out and has been sadly temp repaired with fiberglass mesh and resin by me (i was planning on replacing it. this was a band aid so i could drive it) the astroroof seal is leaking which caused the floor rot. the headliner is starting to fall. All the chrome is in good shape with the exception of a few small dings. The interior is pretty nice with the exception of the headliner.
If you are still with me then here is a list of all the things done to the car most of which I have done to the car since i bought it.

Interior:
Digital dash - 85 mph speedo.
New TR Custom parts console overlay in black.
New Black power 6 floor mats.
New Focal 6x9 speakers with the adapters in the rear but i have since removed the CD player. it is wired and ready to go, just needs a deck.
New replacement A-pillar dual pod paint matched from Gbody with an Innovate LC-1 wideband, and an autometer ultralite II boost gauge.
New Console Pod from GNS performance paint matched with Volts, Oil pressure, and water temp. All Ultra Lite II mechanical.
Scanmaster 2.1 on top with the custom sun shade from TR Custom engraved.
New 15% tint on all windows.
Twilight Sentinel

Exterior:
Weld Drag Lites all the way around.
Skinnys up front with 165/80/15
8"s in the back with 215-75-15
All rubber in good shape!
Headlight and marker light covers.
The front end has been lowered 1 1/2" - 2". from previous owner

Drivetrain:
New auburn pro posi installed.
Transmission definitely has some work done to it. It has a stage rite transbrake and a 3000 stall.
Turbo is a NEW Precision Billet wheel 6262 with new HD actuator. I ported the housing myself and currently I have it all the way down to 15 psi and no boost creep.
All intercooler hoses and clamps are new.
Precision Front mount intercooler.
RJC Boost Controller
RJC 3" Downpipe with dump pipe
Hooker 2 1/2" exhaust with a Dynomax UltraFlow stainless muffler. I currently do not have the tailpipes on it. Stainless crossover pipe.
Full cold air kit and mass air pipe from TR Custom parts. K&N Filter is down by the front tire.
60# Motron Injectors
Walbro 340 pump hotwired
Accufab fuel pressure regulator
Comp 210/210 cam
H&R Parts Drivers side motor mount.
Fuel Pressure gauge mounted on rail. I have a hood mount that i bought for the fuel pressure gauge from GNS Performance that will go with the car. you supply the gauge.
I replaced the head gaskets less than 500 miles ago.
there is a header leak. i bought the gaskets to fix it and have not had the time to do it yet so they will go with it.
Single nozzle Razors alky kit.
Turbotweak chip
RJC Biggie oil filter adapter.
Fbody radiator with dual spal fans mounted to it.
External oil and transmission coolers.
AC Delete (I still have all the original parts of the AC to go with it)
It has had the vacuum brake conversion done and billet vacuum block installed.
RJC Power plate
Braided turbo oil feed line.

Im sure i missed something but this is as close as i can get!

The car currently has 20 psi of oil pressure when its hot and about 50 psi at a cruise. I dont believe the engine has had much done to it but i pulled the oil pan off to reseal it and the rod caps were numbered. the bearings looked good at the time. This car does not leak at all! I made sure of it!
I paid $6000 for the car and have put around $8,000 into it so i think $8,000 is a fair price for what you are getting. I have a champion ported stock intake, ported upper intake and bellmouthed throttle body that I was going to put on it after i bought a set of heads but that never happened. i was going to sell it separately but if you throw in $300 more you can have that too! Ill also throw in a couple gallons of alky if you come pick it up. My friend and I split a drum! :) Many pics to follow.
Thanks for looking!

Hopefully i didnt turn too many people away by being honest but I dont want to be know on this forum as a guy that doesnt include all the details when selling!
Thanks for looking!

I'll comment! Unfortunately I think the rust issue and the fact it has over 190K is scaring people away...at least it would me. You've put a lot of money into upgrades and parts and if those things were in a solid car with say, 100k or less I think it would sell. I'm not saying it's not worth what your asking, it's just there are other choices out there and most guys I know won't mess with something that needs rust repair and body work. I do commend you though for being upfront and honest with your description, and yes, honesty is always the best policy.

I guess im keeping the car then!

Here is a bump and my two cents as you seem to be asking. The combo is real cool with the vinyl top, and cf5. I like the white/Chrome with the maroon gut, great stuff. The mods, well they aren't for everyone, and then you get to the rust. Couple that with the economy and your asking price and as is said it is what it is. You might think about taking it back to stock to lower the price and sell the parts separately or use them on the next one, just a thought.

Hey guys, i am thinking I may want to sell my car and start over. Ill start by saying that I dont need to sell the car but the body guys around my area are pretty pricy and i think i would rather buy one thats already done.

Don't sell it. I will do a strip and paint on it for $5000.00 that includes all rust repair and almost everything removed to do a quality overall paint job, you can check out my trend in the autobody restoration tech section. (OMG it's a buick to paint). Sure there would be some traveling involved, but i guarantee it will be worth your time and money. Just a thought my friend.:)

That sounds like a very fair offer...including the rust repair!:cool:
Thanks, I just hate to see him not keep it with all the mods and then regret not repainting the one he has already. It's just a suggestion for him to think about. The Train runs right thru Battle Creek MI so he could just get a ride home that way for cheap. it has some issues for sure but you never know what you will buy next time that is already done. I take pictures thru the whole process so that takes the ???? on what was or was not done...and it's a nice car.:)
I wish him the best of luck if he does sell it though.
 
Thanks for the offer! If it doesnt sell in the next few weeks or at the local car show at the end of august ill be contacting you! Id rather have someone familiar with these cars over someone who has never painted one before.
Thanks!
