yea, im very aware of that, but the car is beatiful, and im the kind of person that likes rare things, so i dont know, but the car itself is pretty fast stock.i'd prob. throw a tune and headers on it and just take it to car shows and cruise and stuff like that...
-worth the price???
-worth the price???

If it's worth it to you. As long as it's been properly maintained and you check the car out thoroughly I'd say go for it. For being 2-3 years old that's not too bad. The mileage is a little high, but not rediculously so.

if ur into show and the rarity of it, i say the price aint too bad. id buy a Blackbird if i could find one. its a car that u may want to consider keeping GMMG stock, or getting GMMG to upgrade.

see what other rare TA you can find for $22k and match it up. All I can say is the Blackbird is one awesome car.

Look at it this way you have a bargining tool if you ever want to swap it out to a lower milage car. Blackbirds in general are rare cars to see one for sale is luck in itself. A SMO Blackbird took 1st place at Year One Commerce Challenge 2 weeks ago ,it had close to 10K on the clock. If you want upgrades GMMG will do all for you and the originality of the car stays. The paper work for your car even gets an upgrade.Let me know if you buy it ,if not I may be interested in it myself. Good luck . Hope to see a new Blackbird owner to the sight. And Hi to all other Blackbird owners. If you get the chance check out Blackbird # 4 his car has the GMMG phase 2 package on it and a couple of extras all done by GMMG. I met him about 2 weeks ago at a show in GA. he is a cool guy and likes to talk Blackbirds and GMMG.
Also, if GMMG does the phase change to a car do the also change the HP numbers on the hood and varies other location that it appears.
Thanks

Hey carrillo1967, No not tropical at all. I live in Acworth Ga. Those pic's were taken down in the Fl. keys. I have a freind who owns a home in Marathon I get to use for vacations. I enjoy driving the Blackbird there. Get the bug and upgrade. Gmmg does a great job with their upgrades because the cars are still very streetable. You can still drive them anywhere with no problems. Except of course everyone wanting you to show what the car will do. Only suspension work are relocation bracketts and a set of nitto's.
