Default SOLD - '98 TA Convertible - SOLD

I'm on the fence about this, but thinking about putting the car up for sale, thought I'd drop a note here to see if there's any interest from the 'vert crowd. I've owned this since 2004, acquired it with ~60K on the clock, now shows 132K. Was originally an A4 car, swapped it to M6 in spring of 2013.







Here's the cliff notes, PM for more info or questions:
Painted Civilian Black Hummer H2/Mercedes color) with blue mixed to give a pure black in direct sunlight
Power antenna removed, quarter panel welded, antenna is now mounted to windshield
Black top, Black leather, tan carpet, tan inserts on the door, charcoal tonneau cover
Custom retro taillights (have original honeycombs as well)
Floor, inside of doors and trunk covered with Second Skin Damplifier Pro
Speedline wheels from ’02 TA, Sumitomo 275/40/17 on all four corners
UMI 3-point bolt-in subframe connectors
BMR lowering springs, Eibach shocks
BMR adjustable panhard bar
BMR adjustable torque arm, BMR cross member and TA relocation mount
3.73 Gears in the rear, slight whine on decel
Spec clutch, Tick adjustable master cylinder, remote bleeder
LS-6 block, milled/ported/polished 243 heads (~15k miles since LS6 installed, came from '02 SS with 30K miles)
Tick motorsports cam (225/225, great power under the curve), Comp trunion kit on the rocker arms, Comp pushrods, Melling oil pump
Hooker headers, custom y-pipe into I-pipe with cutout, SLP dual-dual muffler (mild and wild)

Had originally posted this to the convertible forum to get some thoughts from the convertible owners, but I'd take $10K. It's not a show car, but I try to take care of it. I just spotted a water leak, and it needs a headlight motor and I have a replacement window motor as driver's side is slowing a bit.

Additional - replaced factory fogs with LEDs (have original lights/mounts), and fuel system was upgraded with new injectors (will have to dig up specs) and racetronix kit.

If there's any serious interest locally to Orlando, I can meet up with reasonable notice for you to see the car in person.

I believe it's clean, have never looked it up. Bought the car from an elderly gentleman during the spring of 2004 upon moving to Florida. Can PM you the VIN if you'd like to look it up.

I see you have cool rims. Have you been selling for a long time? Not considering selling at auction - auctionstreaming is not a bad idea. Which company is the car rims? What is the mileage?

Open to partial trades also, will consider $ plus Canon DSLR camera gear, or $ plus CBR 600 F2/CBR 900 RR. (complete bikes or projects)

Update on the PCM - PCM was replaced by dealer as it wasn't triggering the AC relay. (2008, 85k miles)
