Car Story
Purchased September 2016 from Mancuso motorsports in Chicago. Car history prior to that was Texas and Arizona (multiple owners). Never driven in the winter or anywhere near salt during my ownership.
Did a little work on it, took it to the strip a few times. I'm a responsible middle aged driver with nothing to prove. Prior to the new headers, it ran 12.4 at 117mph on street tires (~2.1 second 60 foot for reference). No idea what it did after as I moved to Boise Idaho (car was shipped here). I wasn't trying to break any records, just enjoy the car safely! I would think a driver who knows what they're doing along with some drag radials can get it into the 11's no problem.
During my ownership I put on about 4500 miles.
Here in Boise, I bought another car that suits the winding roads. I don't drive this one enough to warrant the costs of ownership.
Exterior Condition
It's a head turner from 10 feet. But careful inspection exposes small dings and scratches. There is some overspray that I didn't notice until after I bought it (rear portion/driver side) but nothing in the Carfax so I couldn't tell you why. It's the kind of thing only the car owner typically notices. Zero rust. Undercarriage is super clean, as is the engine bay.
Interior Condition
Leather seats are in great shape, some wear in the driver seat from ins/outs. No tears or scratches. Steering wheel and shift knob are showing their age due to worn leather. Carpet/headliner/plastic bits/etc. are in good condition. Glass is good all around. No cracks or other unsightly damage.
Non-cosmetic Issues
Drivers side head rest adjustment button has broken detent (but still makes electrical contact). Sometimes the rear shade does not go up when the button is pressed. Not sure the headlight switch is operating correctly (it's works on Auto at the moment)
