I have a 2000 B4C that needs carpet and headliner for sale on ebay. Sell it in the ballpark of $7k outside of ebay.

This is why you sell it to someone far away so you never have to see it again

Car runs excellent, but my wife hates the white. She wants me to either get a Firebird or my buddies ZO6 he is selling when GM shuts down his plant. I also still have my Mustang which I will not sell because it is the last car me and my dad built...it will be buried with me.

This car is far from ragged out, hell it still gets third gear rubber with leaving it in drive. I actually hope it does not sell until I can take it to the track once just to see what it will do.

The ones that were ragged are good ones for projects and to swap new Engines into.

LS1nut, sounds to me like you got a STEAL..

I am the same way with my LT1.. I am going to keep that baby in my garage while I'm off in college and then going to take the new car fund from my dad that has been invested for the 4 years of college and spend it on finishing the LT1 and buying a little beater DD

I can see myself taking that thing to my grave... (thats hard to say at the tender age of 18).. maybe its going from a 4banger a4 03 eclipse.. lol

Once I get all the cosmetic stuff done I will be building the motor... Will go the same route as always H.C.I. and all the suspension goodies. I did luck out with mine with it not being a ragged out POS, and I paid about the same as a V6 sells for around here.
