After almost 2 months of waiting, finally picked my car up at the shipping depot on friday. I bought it on ebay October 13th. 75,000 miles, bone stock. Paid $7725 for it, the paint is in exceptional conditon, interior is awesome, and runs great!







Already put my MGW in it, and here's the list of stuff on order
18x9/10 chrome Saleens--295's/275's
Eibach springs
Tokico blues

Those are the mats that came with it, so I will leave them for now. I don't really like the pinstripe, but my Wife loves it, and being I bought the car without asking, I'm gonna leave it just for her:thumbsup: It was at the shipping yard because I had it shipped from Florida to Utah, it only sat there for about an hour, I was all over those guys all morning to get that thing unloaded:D

They are, the drivers side has zero cracks or tears, and I dont know if the pass side has ever been sat it.

Get some MM caster-camber plates plus (IMO) a MM bumpsteer kit (the no-drill kit). My car 'hunted/tramlined' like an SOB until I did the CC and bumpsteer kits (FRPP B's). Once the CC and bumpsteer was in the car was back to handling like butter.

Niiice, believe it or not, I miss my car when it was stock. It represents the innocence of youth, lol...I saved for 3 years to buy that car when I turned 18 back in highschool, and now it's all crazy-different. :(

Should have taken the wife with and flew down to get it, thats half the fun! Me and the wife did that when I bought mine, we flew to Oklahoma. The only thing you need to worry about is weather. Mine had seen rain maybe 3-4 times in its life when I got there, and after driving home in 400 miles of a terential down pour, I felt like crying. Oh well, it still looks brand new underneath. Nice car, you will love it!

Yeah, I was completely stunned when I won it, I thought for sure somebody would outbid me at the last second. I looked at one here locally, same color and everything, had 130k miles and was prett beat, the guy wanted 10k for it. I thought mine would sell for at least that, oh well, I guess there is still some deals on the bay.

nice........oh you know your gonna be modding it. I can never keep my cars stock. you always crave for more power. I thought mine was fast 10 months ago when i bought it...now i think it is slow with just flowmaster catback exhaust, offroad h-pipe and JLT ram air.
