Putting my car up for sale to replace it with a C5Z. I bought this car stock in 2008. Car is originally from Hawaii and bought/owned by an Army Ranger. Car was than sold to a couple in Ft Lauderdale for the girls daily driver. It was than sold to me because she upgraded to a z06. Car was completely stock when I got it and had always been taken care of and had mobil 1 oil changes. I kept that going and still runs mobil 1 10-40 with the turbo setup. The car was my daily so I could store my white drop top convertible trans am but that didn't last long. The turbo kit was installed about 4 months after ownership and has been on it since. The car has 60lbs oil pressure and drives around like it was stock. So easy my girl can drive it/race it! The only issues is a small oil leak from the pan that only happens if the car sits. It usually will sit for 1-2 months at a time and will leak a little bit of oil. The starter ear was broken when the car was at Apex automotive in wellington doing a trans swap but was professionally repaired and I have had 0 issues. It has the typical fbody small bubbles on the headtop/sailpanel. It needs an alignment not desperately but it would help. It sits in the garage so haven't done it. There is no issues I can even think of or had other than that since i've owned it. Car has been babied its whole life so I didn't expect any. I have all receipts and documentation of car. I ran back to back 10.89 124's with timeslips almost identical times when the car was stock intake to pan, rossler terminator 2 trans and 10 bolt. The car hasn't been ran with heads and cam, but it is still on 5lbs of boost even though the car can handle 8-10 now. Butt dyno sure thinks itll pull a low 10 and hopefully 130 traps. It has a two step but its disconnected and only footbrake it as well. Here is the full break down of parts/mods.

Under hood
Blemish shots - What sucks about these bumper blemishes is they were both recently painted and were both hit by two different people at two different times while parked outside the shop..So the paint is about 2-3 months old, been out of the garage 3 times total and that happened.
Wavey paint on hood, I got it this way

Love the car maybe I can talk the wife into letting me have a dd. I will be moving close to you in June so if you still have it then maybe I can see it run in person. GLWS.
