1998 Bright Metallic Purple convertible 406 RWHP 13500$ in Seattle It was 1 of 42 purple convertibles ever made. It currently has 81300 miles on it asking 13.5 k. I do have a loan on it so bank has the title.
The car has been 12.8 in the quarter with a 1.8 60ft. time, before the cam install and a LS1 intake. It was estimated to go 11.9 to 12.1 now in the quarter. This car dynoed at 406 thur the auto. Its is just under 500 hp at the flywheel.
It had a bunch of worked done on it at G force in Houston, Texas. The list includes: custom Comp's camshaft, specs are as follows: 240/244 .609/.612 114 LSA. , LS6 ported oil pump, Rollmaster Dual Timing Chain , COMP Hi-Tech Pushrods, Patriot Performance Gold Valvespring Kit (Dual Valvesprings good to .650" lift, Titanium Retainers, Steel Locks, and GM Valve Seals), under drive Power bond pulley. Dyno tune at 406 to the rear wheels. Cam and everything has about 2000 miles on it. It was then dyno tuned and dynoed at 406 to the rear wheels. Also installed prior to install was a LS6 intake with 2 new 99 and up knock sensor, LS6 MAF, and Port and polished throttle body. It also had the Trans built 5000 miles ago with a 2000 stall and Trans cooler install. It was built to hold around 600 HP. Also installed all new suspension to make this thing handle better than a hard top car. It includes UMI Lower control arms with bolt on relocation brackets, Adjustable pan hard bar and torque arm. They all have poly bushing install. Also has 1LE rear coil springs in the back with Eibach springs in the front mounted on Bielstien struts. The struts have about 12k miles I also put in a new Empire drive line 3.5in aluminum drive shaft when the new Trans was installed. All of these parts have about 5000 miles on them.
Now for the old parts: Kooks coated long tube headers with ORY which includes the AIR and EGR delete, Borla adjustable exhaust, MTI air lid with KN filter, MSD wires NGK plugs, battery relocated to the back, C5 chrome wheels with nitto 555. 17x8.5 with 245/45/17 on front and 18x9.5 with 285/35/18 on back. Back has about 7000 miles on them or about 85% tread left. It has a custom Wolf roll bar installed and tied into the body. The tonneau cover will come with the car and is painted the same color. The interior has Recaro seats installed and a combo of leather and cloth. There is a rip on the driver’s side. The carpet was replaced about 8000 miles ago. There is also an aftermarket heads up display that I have installed on it. The maker is Defi VSD Basic part number DF03205.
There are no running issues with this car. There are a few cosmetic ones that need to be addressed. There is a long scratch on the driver’s side. It is noticeable if you are right on top of it. It was like this when I bought the car. I choose not to have it repainted so if I ever did sell the car, there would be no reason to assume that it may have been wreck or anything like that. Also some clear coat is coming off right behind the passage side door at the very bottom by the ground effects. This is also not very noticeable. As for everything else, it worked as it should. The a/c blows cold and was just recharged when the cam was done. The stereo needs to by hooked up with the amp and sub, I just did not have the time to get that fixed.Everything is electric including doors, top and windows. If you have any questions, please email me. The car is located in Seattle, WA.

There are no issues with it even being a daily driver just that I would hate if any one put a door ding in it. The reason I am selling is that my 97 gets all the driving and this is just sitting.
