Rejected by those elitists over at Bring a Trailer!

First $2,500 gets it. EDIT: 2,000 is now the price!

See craigslist ad for pictures, vehicle is in Greensburg PA, about 35 miles east of Pittsburgh. Happy to answer questions on this thread, or through craigslist.

I purchased this vehicle in 2001 with about 65k miles and drove it until 2007 In 2007 I shipped it to Pennsylvania for a brief storage until I had time to restore it Other projects got in the way, and it is now beyond my abilities to bring back

The good- Everything is there, and original. Only exception that I can think of is the SLS system was removed before I purchased the car. Ran when parked Timing chain completed at around 100k Valve job completed at around 165k

The bad- Rust! It looks like 3 of the 4 jack points are gone and numerous other areas all around the body have various levels of corrosion One of the tabs on the transmission that holds the exhaust in place has broken off. The broken piece is included and should be easy to weld back on

The ugly- Not much really-just my own stupidity for letting it go for this long!

These cars are going up in value. This is probably a good candidate to part out, but if your'e a wizard with a welder it could be a rewarding project. I have a large amount of paperwork and receipts for it if that is of value to the new owner. The vehicle is currently titled in Florida and I have requested a title from the DMV.

=============================== EDIT 5/16/2017

Price now lowered to $2,000. Title is now in hand.

I've gotten lots of emails with some common questions.

  1. Does it run? I have no idea, I haven't tried to start it. It was parked originally because the exhaust kept falling off/falling apart after a tab on the 5-speed getrag transmission broke off. It was running well when parked, but that was 10 years ago. On the upside, there is a nice Timevalve Stainless Steel exhaust included, albeit in pieces.

  2. How much rust? Enough to scare me away, but I haven't been under it. I pulled up the passenger side mats and there were no holes. These things don't usually rust, but...
