Like I said before i'm more than willing to discus the price if you e-mail me. There is a car down the road from me right now a 01 Z28 Red with 20,000 miles on it and they are asking $19,000 and that is stock. You can go buy a car with 9k or 10k miles on it that goes for 19k or 20k. They are stock though so say that you want to do a bunch of mods to the car you will be spending a lot more money on the car. My car already has the mods done and runs great and has 49,000 miles on it and has a paint job that no one else is going to have. it doesn't have a scartch on it. Not even considering the labor cost if you don't know how to do something. If you yourself works on the car you will be saving a lot of money. I have done all the work on this car that is listed besides the paint job. If someone doesn't want all the mods done then I guess this car isn't for them. But most people never leave there cars stock. So like I said before im more than willing to talk about the price just e-mail me tkctransam03@aol.com

Just to comment on the $10,000 for a paint job. If the shop did the job as good as the gentleman selling the car says, it sounds about right, maybe a little high, but only by maybe a $1000 or less. I used to be an asst. manager for a bodyshop at one time and we did mainly collision work, but we did do some high end restorations and repaints. Starting prices on repaints $5000+. Hell we did one restoration (i think was like a 68 or 69) SuperBee and the paint job only, this did not include the body work was around $13,000-14,000. So, it is very possible he paid that much. High End bodyshops are not cheap!! Now, not saying that he probably couldnt have gotten it painted for less, but it may not be as good either. Now every now and then someone can find a good bodyman/painter for cheap, but most good bodyman/painter want good money for there work.
Good luck selling your car!!

Yes the body shop guy I took it too has been doing it for 30 years. The paint was expensive and the clear coat was as well which was a PPG clear coat. The guy who did the work was kind of a ******* to put it nicely but the reason I took it to him is because he does very good work. Thank you for your comment murphy80. If anyone would like to contact the guy that did the work i'm sure he will be more than willing to talk too you about the paint job he did on my car. .

Question: Has this car ever been in an accident?
Answer: Yes the car was in a accident in the beging of may. What happen was a deer ran out in front of the car and the car ended up in the ditch. The damage that happen was very small the front driver side fender was ripped which was replaced with a brand new fender. The side skirt on the driver side which was always replaced with a new one. The front bumper had a tear in it which prolly could of been fixed but i knew the body shop guy so he threw a new front bumper on the car. The rear bumper has a crack in the bottom which was always replaced with a brand new rear bumper. All 4 chrome rims were replaced as well because of stone chips. The car got scartched up from the strones hitting the side of the car. The reason I painted the car because I wanted something different from everyone one else. Plus i really am a big fan of the orange that i picked out couldn't turn it down. But other than that just body parts from the car were wrecked in the accident nothing else. Car was sanded out and they put body filler on the steel where there were dings in the car. You won't find anything wrong with the car better than it was I can tell you that much they did a very good job. The name of the business is Darryl's Auto Specailist there are located in upstate new york a small country town called bloomfield.

Has any nitrous been used in the car? What was the original color of the car?
Yes there is nitrous in the car the own time it was ever used was at the track which was 3 times and twice at the dyno runs. Other than that was never used. The original color of the car was black. If you go to http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2078806 shows you the dyno sheet along with the original color of the car.
