Default Bought a LS1 TA for $200!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=220188099367

Going to get it is going to be like Christmas! I don't know what all is there because the seller is very unclear. It does have an ebony interior and it sounds like most of it is there! All I know is, it's worth $200!

So pumped. Made my new year. LOL

Only thinks that appear to be salvagable to me are the t-tops and rear glass/wing? Sounds about right for $200 to hall off his stripped shell! Good luck with the part out!

Profitable and well worth the effort. You might even have a rear clip there. Those are hard to find.

wow Those are some ugly *** tail lights lol

I think at MINIMUM you'll get $200 in scrap metal turn in. >_> I don't personally see much salvageable on it. But if it DOES have the rims and rear end (and they are fine) then that's easily worth the $200 and gas money.

Yeah someone put V6 tail lights on and tried to make them look like honeycomb lights LOL. Formy bumper too. It's not a huge part out, it's worth it though. I'll make a little money.

Well I went to Augusta, Georgie and picked up the car last night. I ran the VIN and it turned out to be a 2002. The instrument cluster is gone so I have no idea how many miles were on it, but I have a pretty good feeling they were very low. The last inspection on it ran out in April, 2004. The car is incredibly clean aside from being all dusty on top. There's no grease or surface rust or even rain water spatter anywhere. Kind of sucks to see such a nice car wasted.

It had some weird options. Power antenna, power windows and door locks, yet had cloth seats and a tape deck radio. It had a Kenwood CD changer in it, not sure how many disc I haven't looked yet. All that is really missing is the driveshaft, motor, transmission, front struts and springs, instrument cluster, wiring harness, and the driver's side seat. Other than that the whole car is there. All body panels are good other than the front clip, and the pass side quarter has a dent in it. They also left a MINT ebony 6 speed center console in it, and the pedals. I'm surprised these weren't taken. Just wanted to give an update for anyone that thought I was wasting my money on a stripped shell!

What you want for all the power antenna stuff, up to the body power connector, including any bracket I'd need to stick it in my manual antenna 94 Z28? Is it even POSSIBLY to go fixed antenna to power?

PM me or email, please.

Yeah you can do it, but the power antenna was one of the things missing. Sorry, I guess I forgot to mention it above.
