However, looking like the time wasters are indicating the car may be best as a part out. I really do not have the inclination to part out the car due to time and not wanting to deal with small single item pieces here and there. Plus shipping large items is expensive and tedious.
So posting here to see if there is genuine interest in the meat and potatos of the vehicle itself. If i can find actual buyers for the driveline(engine and tranny-although doesn't have to be sold together as long as a buyer for both), the whole interior(which is in incredible shape), then i will begin a part out once those items have been paid for.
If you want to buy the whole car and double up your money feel free to reach out to discuss. It is still a driver. Can reduce price by replacing wheels and if you don't need/want the stock exhaust(cat back) i can remove and reduce price there as well.
For those interested in the drive line.....engine is in good shape albeit grimy. It had an oil filter housing gasket leak for a while before i was able to track it down and replace all seals, so a bit of oil residue on the engine which is easy enough to wash off. The valve cover gaskets look good. However, while the engine is out would suggest to do all maintenance prior to putting it in something. Plugs, front and read main seals, oil pan seal, new charger oil, etc.
The tranny was recently serviced with full fluid exchange(not under pressure but using the car's own pump) new filter, pan gasket, plug connector. The tranny shifts as smooth as it did as when i first got the car. Actually better since new fluid. Did not beat on this car so transmission is still in really god shape. Virtually nothing on the magnets and almost no grime in the pan itself. Looked like a pan of a 30k mile car.....really good shape.
Interior....would really prefer to sell complete interior as a whole. By complete set i mean everything---dash, door panels, carpet, seats, belts, console. If you are doing a full color swap we can talk about the steering wheel. For the year and miles this interior is in excellent condition. Have plenty of pics to send a serious buyer. For those who wont click the link above to see pics, the interior is black. It does have dynamic seats HOWEVER i do not know their current condition. I tested them when i bought the car and all worked perfectly. The rub is that i don't actually care for that feature so i never used them. There is a chance one or more of the bladders is compromised due to age so i can't guarantee their functionability. The good news is that if a bag is needed there are new replacement kits available.
So if we can get buyers for these things then the full part out begins. Car is located in SE Florida so if local even better.
