Nice looking car! I would miss that one too. Thanks for the added info LS short box. I paid for the car today and got the original keys and title. $500, didn’t seem to shabby to me. I’ve got to be the second owner not counting the 20 year staycation at the pawn shop. The title was issued with 26 miles on it. The 50k mile odometer reading is correct per the bill of sale paperwork my buddy gave me with the title. I aired the tires up as best I could and drug it foreword with my service truck t asses what it was going to take to get it on a trailer and home. I’ll be damned if it didn’t roll smooth and straight for the 30 feet or so I drug it. I’d be surprised if the brakes work though. Luckily in that deep sand I didn’t need them. I had to dig the front lower control arms and k member out of the sand. Crazy how much it sank and the wind piled up the sand around it. The rear axle was buried as well. I think with one used tire I’ll be able to load it up and get it on the trailer. Need to get my C20 to K20 conversion done so I can start putzing around on this one. I’m gonna try and get the original motor/transmission running and driving for now until I can get the LS swap parts together.
My buddy told me that the lady who owned it passed away shortly after pawing it in ‘03. It was her pride and joy and he held onto it so he could give her family a chance to come get it in her memory. Obviously that didn’t happen and here we are. I sat in the seat for the first time today. It’s a quite a bit more raw than my 5th Gen is. It’s going to make a good road race/autocross car. I love the gauges, they just scream race car to me for some reason. Here’s a few pictures from today.
Lol my jackass buddies at work are already asking me if the factory option clip on mullet is included with the car
Paul- you know you need another one in your life!
Ryan- that is a really kick ass car. I really like that build as a whole. Lots of attitude. I like the looks of these cars with 00’s Vette wheels.
