ASKING $4500 FIRM
Once again the time has come to put my X up for sale. After 7 years of work I have come to the end of my journey with my X. I have invested countless hours (and dollars) to make this a nice car again. It spent most of its life as a Solo car so it was a relatively good car but tired.

It’s time for this car to find a new home where the finishing touches can but applied. It needs some electrical work to sort out things like the headlights, taillights. The interior could use some more attention. I'm I’m located in Orlando FL., email mblommel at gmail.com.
Thanks, Mike
Cash money. Somebody offered me $20,000... CASH MONEY... for my Viper. I almost hung up the phone. I don't mind the low-ball every once in a while, but low-ball with a caveat? That means nothing?
