Over the years I have put over $30k of tasteful mods in her to create the ultimate, badass, reliable street car. I have done everything including engine, transmission, suspension, interior, and a few other Ls1tech mods. I have receipts, dates, and miles for 99% of the parts installed. Everything was done by myself with the exception of the engine internals and tune. Tuned by Excelsior Motorsports in California. Mainline dyno put down 400rwhp (very stingy dyno), but I didnt build a dyno queen.

She has been on AMSOIL 10w30 since I bought her. Engine and transmission have only been one for around 2000 miles. A few bad things, really only the driver side window needs help getting up sometimes. Paint looks perfect from more than 8 feet away but there are a few chips here and there its 20 years old for Gods sake. Always garaged while at home. No accidents. LMK what you guys think. 20K OBO. Pics to come
