Fellow Nyspeeder’s
The cheapest I’d sell the car for is $6750 flat out cash. I bought the car for $5750, and it was a fixer upper. Car needed a push rod, water pump, and numerous other little things.

Doing these mods yourself would cost you about $1500 for the exhaust, $600 for the intake parts, I’m not adding these things to what I want for the car, but If you plan on modding at least you’re a step ahead.
Maintenance:
-Freshly changed oil, 300 miles ago, mobile 1 synthetic
-New water pump
-Coolant flush
-New serpentine belt
-New plugs
-New wires
-MAF cleaned
-Rear end rebuild (600 miles ago)
-New brakes(Rotors&pads)
Random stuff:
-EGR valve, extra speakers, LS1 Intake manifold and stock throttle body, 2 new tires(For when you’re done doing burn outs haha)
Information:
This car was originally from FLORIDA, there is 0 rust on it anywhere it is very clean.(CARFAX CERTIFIED) Garaged all winter, as usual. I bought the car with a few problems since which I remedied. I replaced all the parts above, and had all the emissions codes tuned out(so the car will pass inspection when it needs it). Car runs great, not a single flaw. Clutch grabs great, the rear end is fresh, and the motor runs without missing a beat. Everything that can go on this car has been replaced, and it’s pretty much dealership condition in that aspect. The interior isn’t worn at all, everything that should be there is. The exterior is pretty good, standard for a black GM car. The clear coat is bubbling slightly in a few spots, and there’s your typical rock chips. Nothing you would notice from 2 feet away.
I have dyno sheets in hand, prior to the ls6 intake and ported throttle body installation. Car is rated at: 332hp and 353 ft/lbs at the wheels on a dynojet.
There is a head unit in the car now.
