The camera on my phone hides the faded clear coat well.
I was gonna throw some suspenstion, wheels, and upgrade to C5 brakes for starters. Then I'll start thinking about power.

I know what you mean about the color. I have thought about building a clean v6 car as well.

I don't know. So far I have had three SS hard tops: silver '97, NBM '99, and red '96.

I am going to get a quote. There is some spiderwebbing on the front bumper and the clear coat is faded on the hood and spoiler. But overall the paint is in good shape for the year.

Its not sitting that high lol. I would much rather prefer a higher ride stance than hitting every piece of roadkill and debris on the road!

Exactly what I was thinking. I had to buy it, regardless of the fact that it is an auto.
