[QUOTE="Tighteyes, post: 15766970, member: 186432"] So a few months back I purchased a car from LA MOTORCARS in richardson,tx. An 08 vapor gt500 with 46k miles on it. I paid a bit more than market price because it had 3.73 gears, long tube headers , magnaflow exhaust , a few other upgrades. Well Shortly after owning the car it was displaying lean symptoms and other weird inconsistencies. Well After talking to the entire world I was told to take my sick car to pro dyno 2-3 hrs away from me. what a buzkill. I took it in for what was a clutch going out. "Met with a few small discussions of rods to strengthen up a bit." this is what I was showed ......a simple 4-5k turned into a complete nightmare. I am curious how much would a gt500 roller 65k miles with brand new tires and practically brand new body. is worth without a motor maybe selling her. I washed dishes for 8 years to get my dream.....now I have to figure something out ..... a new motor build from scratch is just about as much as the car was to purchase...
