AHHHH please don't catfish the 93!

If the interior is really nice in the 00, then I'd use the interior to make the 93 nicer, then race car the hell out of the 00 if the body is straight and worth reusing if you want to build a 5.3 monster.

I suppose I should of re worded that. My buddy is looking for a front end to convert his over. Basically I meant get it for a front end conversion (part of parting it out) or for anyone that needed some parts on the local site to make some money back.

The guy sent me some pics. I'll probably pass on this one. He said the interior is mint and I already noticed from the 3 I terror shots the seat belt loop is broken, glove box button is missing, no radio, rip in the drivers seat.

The time has came folks. I watched the car roll away for the last time this morning. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot along the way. Thank you all for your help, support and love along the way.

Sorry to hear it is gone. Did someone who is a member here buy it? Some body is getting a great Christmas present.

I cried like a baby!

Its time for bigger and faster things.

My plan is to either go LS1 99-02 Camaro, low mileage, turbo kit.
OR

C5 Z06 or C6 LS3

All will set me north of 20k so itll be about 2 years until I am back in the game.

The guy lived about an hour from me. I don't believe he is a member.

Be sure to factor in insurance prices. Believe it or not, a friend went from an LS1 WS6 to an LS6 Z06 and his insurance rates FELL by about 50%. Just the opposite of what he was expected. He said he wishes he had made the jump much sooner.

I don't really stay in contact with the new owner. I have tired to contact his a few times but I haven't heard back.

I sure do miss the car.

On the bright side, one of my buddys spotted him at the local track. At least he is putting it to good use!!!
