I remember you had a thread about this in General LSX that you deleted the other day.

I still say that somebody must've died in it at that price. Nobody in their right mind would sell a good condition/good running/complete LS1 F-body for $2500. Unless he owed you a favor or something....

Anyway, great find.

HAHAHA

I deleted in fear of him finding my post and ur repsonses and retracting the deal

no one died in it - he said the red stains are a spilled slush puppy, not his wife's blood.

I am telling you the car is straight as an arrow, runs strong.

He is in his late 30s and just isnt into the car scene. There are people out there that do not understand the value or care. He bought a Toyota Sienna instead.

Glad to see that the Trans Am is being rescued.

He's your friend, help him out and tell him to RUN away from the Toyohmygodicantgethiscartostop dealer and look for a nice Trailblazer SS to suit his family needs, and still have fun.
