Exterior:
7 out of 10
No damage other than the drivers side mirror has a small chip. Paint is a little weathered and showing age, lots of fine scratches and nicks. Small paint chip on drivers rear quarter panel. I'd say the paint is the only thing to bring the exterior down. Its not bad, and from a little back its hard to tell, a good clay bar and wax help alot. no modifications to the exterior other than the wheels, came stock with silver twisties i put some chrome stars on from my previous v6 bird. Tires are Sumitomo HTRZs 255/50/zr16 60% front, 40% rear.
Interior:
9.5 out of 10
Near perfect Interior. Nothing broken or damaged. Center Console is not broken, no door panel cracks, no dashboard crack. Leather Seats are in great shape, driver side bolster is of course a little worn, but not torn. shifter is good shape as well. The leather steering wheel is a little worn but it does clean up pretty nice with regular leather wipes. Carpet is in great shape, a few various small stains, most you cant see any way. I do have the original car mats, however the previous owner used them and they are a little dirty. The T-tops do not leak, they go on and off easy, and latch and lock easy. I have the original T-top covers. the drivers side seat belt is missing the little button that holds the buckle up, so it does slide down. A/C works fine, and blows cold, takes about 5min to get really cold, so maybe could use a recharge?
Reliability:
9.0 out of 10
other than the knock sensors and IAC have not had any problems. changed a few light bulbs. Engine starts right up every time, no noises, no smoke, revs smoothly up to redline. Tranny does shift firm due to the shift kit, can easily chirp tires into 2nd, and sometimes 3rd if your on it. With the Predator i have tuned down the 1-2 shift, and firmed up the 2-3 a little. Never had a problem with the torque converter or tranny, no noises or slips. Same with the Rear Diffy no noises, and can easily lay down some lines or hook up, depending on what you want to do. Brakes fine never had a problem. steering is good too. Occansionally it may bog a little or backfire i attribute that to the Predator, its pretty rare and usually its because i did something to cause it, a dyno tune would improve part throttle driving and probably MPGs too.

I have a few odds and ends too, of course the spare tire and jack, the original monsoon head unit, the LS1 intake manifold, the original exhaust w/ cats, an extra K&N Filter.
I will be more than happy to answer any questions or take additional pics or videos upon request. I just paid-off the car yesterday so the title should be in the mail in a few days. Of course i do not expect to sell the car until i have the title in hand, but i wanted to get the ad up as soon as i could.
