> I aquired an unbeatable deal on an Evo to rebuild that I can’t pass up. So I’ve decided to put the Galant up for sale so that I won’t have much of a car payment (something I swore Id never have again). This car ran 11.29 at 123 at the 20005 Evo/WRX Shootout with stock head, ecu, afc, web cams. It won 2nd in Mitsu Q8 and won the Power Street class at NDRA St. Louis in 2005. You even get the Trophys with it.
> 
> Here goes:
> 
> 1991 Galant VR-4  
> Nile Black  
> 170,000 miles on the body  
> No rust on body or under it. The paint is not that great, it has some dents and stratches. I have a brand new front bumper that I will put on the car before the sale. I can discuss the posibility of having it painted for the buyer at an unbeatable price or even included if someone has a serious inquiry. The work would be done at our sister company HQ Kustoms (formally AMS Bodyworks), and would come out looking beautiful.

> JDM headlights included with wiring harnesses but not installed  
> All black trim freshly painted with 3M trim paint and or replaced with new OEM pieces
> 
> I think that covers it. I have been nit-picking everything on this car since I bought it almost 4 years ago. The fabrication and build quality of this car is second to none. I do this for a living at one of the most respected DSM/Evo shops in the country and I take as much pride in my own car as I do our customers. Anyone has seen this car in person since late 2004 should be able to attest to what I am saying. We will be doing an updated pump gas and race gas tune soon and I will have dyno numbers and sheets to go with the sale.

Here’s a couple of 3000GT VR4’s that oughta fit the bill. Just search autotrader. There are a ton more within 300 miles. Dodge stealth turbo’s too. There was one with \<60,000 miles. Just do some looking. I bet you could find 300ZX’s too.
