Car isn’t super fast, but handles like a dream.

It has 02 sims on it, but also has high flow cats.

The only bad things are as follows:  
Door ding on the passenger quarter.  
CEL is on, but I’m going to take care of that, it is a vacuum leak.  
Small rip in the driver seat. I’ve considered getting the seat re-done, and will if I keep the car.

Car is stupid clean, I would no joke eat out of the engine bay.

This is really a feeler, and I don’t have to sell it. I’d like to sell this and get another toy though.

Looking for $10.5K  
Car is in Houston TX, but for the right offer I’ll consider delivering it.

Only trades I’d be interested in are old Camaros / Corvettes, maybe a 69/72 Chevelle or a 69ish Nova…

Times at the end of the vid are wrong. 😛

Yah I know it is an auto, but it is a great auto. 5 speed, downshifts and holds gears for you, plus for a DD it rocks. Has economy/sport/manual modes to it, plus the wife/parents/friends can drive it no problem.

I love the car because it is a 4 door, you can easily fit 4-5 people in it, and they can get in/out easy.

If a buyer wants the wheels a different color, I can have them painted as well.

I’ve driven it, super super super fucking tight car. The steering feels so good on these and this one in particular still feels brand new. Scoots too, doesn’t have V8 torque off the line but once you are going the gearing is great, it just keeps pulling linearly well into the triple digits.

I’ll fly down and drive this home if anyone wants me to, the end of may would work.

Sold dropping the car off June 26th in Buffalo, so you might see her local on the streets. I’ll have the car up in the finger lakes that last week in June.
