Problems
Crack in dash

Does not have an antenna, however the cd player works just fine and local radio stations.
The clear started to peel some on the front clip. As you can see from the pics it's not very noticable from a few feet away.
I have reciepts for a decent amount of the parts including the transmission rebuild if you would like them as well as a couple old dyno graphs with previous cams I tried out.
Has 125,000 miles on it with a fresh oil change (done every 3000)
Car has excellent oil pressure and runs very well. It was dyno'd with a 224/224 .565/.565 cam and made 390rwhp 385rwtq. With the new much larger cam it has to be over 400rwhp. I had the car tuned but off the dyno. It is spot on and took a few hours to get it there from one of the best tuners in Florida. I took the car to the track one time and ran a 12.3 @ 119 (really soft launch and soft shift into second to be gentle on the rear, hint the high mph for the et)
Most of the mods are within the 25k mile range. I've changed all the fluids 25k miles ago and oil every 3k miles or less. Changed oil at every cam swap (3). All mods are in great shape as far as I know. I put new valve seals and cleaned the heads and new lifters when I put the last cam in. So really the only thing that has the full 125k miles on it are the bearings and rings, unless they were replaced by previous owner. I know the cam bearings looked great when I swapped cams. I also know that there was still a good cross hatch in the cylinders when I replaced lifters. The car does not smoke so the engine is in good shape.
$9,850
