On a side note, I bought the car off of eBay from Texasautodirect and me and a friend flew down to pick it up. I bought it with 68k and sold it with about 86k.

WOW! i never thought someone on here would have owned it.. So what wrong with it? haha

And the only complaint so far is the hood wasnt painted very well...

Other than that i love this car so much!

Oh and do you have the front filler panel by chance? or would he?

Congrats man!

My first F-body was a 1991 Z28 I bought in September of '07. Sold that recently, and bought my 2nd dream LS1 car. My dream LS1 car was a SOM WS6 but they were all out of my price range, or had way too many miles for what I could afford, so I bought the next best thing...a SSM SS w/ only 44K miles and bolt ons! I love this car and can't wait til the weather is nice in Northern Indiana so I can get her out. Oh, and I'm 17 too!
