looks very clean.. esp for 209k miles..

rotro housing have been painted, so I suspect a newer engine..

clean install, webbers etc.. nice interior... says it runs high 13s... so it might even be ported, otherwise that's a stretch in my book...

I'd give it 2k easy.. maybe up to 3..

you'll find a lot of cheap people on here that will say "I found one for $500" or something along those lines, but it's all a metter of value to the person...

I paid 3500 for my SE and would payed more..

Well, get back to work!

As for the car... Looks pretty good, but 2000 buckaroos seems a little high for my standards. I wonder if the bins are rusted?

when you're in customer service and work varies by # of people in your office, you get bored at times and are busy as hell at other times... I'm sure many others can relate.

Isn't the fan shroud kinda important for optimal air flow? Besides, how much could a plastic shroud weigh, anyways?

At any rate, this guy is full of ****, because he claims low 13's in the quarter. The underbody lights are fairly dumb as well, and are counter-intuitive to the whole 'weight-reduction' thing this guy's got going.

i love that intake manifold! !!!! I want more pics of that



but, yeah... there is somthing wrong with that dude..... fan shroud is LIGHT... REALLY LIGHT... he is just too lazy to put it on...... and 209K on THIRD MOTOR..... how much on the car? 700,000K?????

And then he paints the oil cooler... so it wont dissapate heat as fast... along with the aluminum housings.... again.... doesnt get rid of heat that fast.....

and performance exhaust is stock tiny mid pipe?!?!? **** THAT! better be 2" mandrel bent to have any ******* gains..... or 2.5" on a 13b.... and STOCK MANIFOLD? no HEADER? WTF?!

Seems like a rice burner to me... look how much those seats are tilted back esse'







I would buy it just for a daily driver if i was even in the market... but that would be it... if the milage on the car was under 300K....


anyways



Peace
