The car has a clear title and registration, the car was re-vinned by the state of GA many years ago due to being a theft recovery and has salvage history which causes a mileage conflict on CarFax as a result. The car was not damaged, smashed, or parted. I have zero doubt in my mind the listed mileage is correct and you won't either after seeing it.

Car is tuned well enough to run on the new set-up, but pig rich and not nearly as well as it could be. However, well enough to walk a bolt-on LS1 T/A from a slow roll by about 6 cars easily . Everything is there to do it, I just haven't. You can log with the wideband and LogWorks software and adjust fuel and timing through the MAF Translator and even more so on the chip through the ScanMaster. WideBand is completely installed minus the calibration switch, something that won't take more than 30 minutes or so..but I'm not sure if I'd want to mount the switch or not so I'll let the next owner decide.


Here are pics taken today, 10/26/2009 showing the condition of the car.

___________________________________

I'm asking 17.5k. However, I understand the economy and car market and am open to offers...
I'm motivated to sell it and need the money, so don't hold back if you're interested.

I'd prefer not to trade. However, I would consider cash + trade for my car...but, like I said- I need money so the more cash the better.
I'm looking to downgrade as far as a weekend car goes and would prefer something valued at 5-7k or less + cash.

I prefer e-mail to PMs as my internet is limited at the moment and e-mail is much easier for me to check often on my phone.

Just wanted to clarify as I've had a question or two about the title. It is clear and has no issues and is NOT a salvage or rebuilt title.

That is one beautiful car. I have always wanted a GN or T-Type but as you stated, the way the economy is...I wouldn't have enough scratch to give you for a car that nice. Are you in GA? Good luck with your sale!!!

I'm in Canton, not far at all. If you're interested I'd be glad to let you see it. Like I said, I'm open to offers.

Was a super nice day out today so I took it out for some cruising. Put about 100 miles on it with everything from back roads to traffic to highway driving. Car did great and performed with no issues.

Still for sale or trade, taking offers.

Oh well, car is now on eBay. Has a reserve, but a good bit lower than the listed price in this thread.

I appreciate the offer but I am in no position to acquire another ride right now. Plus, I wouldn't insult you with what I could afford on a nice ride like that. Car is worth your asking price or at least really close. That really is a nice car in very good condition.
