Hey who sold to you my car!?
Very very nice, actually it looks straighter than mine. I also paid $2000.
Let's see some engine bay pics!

Under the hood, the engine bay is not detailed. Just needs a little attention to make it match the rest of the car.

I am debating the modification route. At worst, I'll do some minor bolt-ons, like the exhaust, but leave it by-and-large stock. But I may just leave it completely bone stock if I summon the will-power. That will be difficult. I have a complete Racing Beat long-primary streetport exhaust, RB springs, Illumina shocks, 1 1/8th sway bar, SS braided brake & clutch lines, etc. just waiting to go on. This is stuff I accumulated in preparation for a GSL-SE upgrade to my 83 GS. Perhaps I'll just sell all the modification crap and enjoy the car bone stock. I also have a complete, running spare GSL-SE parts car (ugly exterior).

What I think I'll do is pull the motor from the parts car -SE and rebuild it here at Pineapple Racing, then swap it into the nice -SE. Just a stock-ish rebuild but I can detail the engine, manifold, engine bay, etc. and make everything like-new.

Thanks, but it's not for sale...at least not at any sane price.

Don't be too quick to judge based on photos alone. I've got 15 years of pro-level photography experience and my 8.3 megapixel digital camera cost more than the car, so my pics are bound to make the car look as good as possible. Snapshots just can't do justice, so comparison of the two cars is hard to make fairly. Of course, photos of any kind don't tell you the mechanical condition either.

One hundred billion dollars? (j/k)

sharp looking car, if I was you I would keep it bone stock, adding go fast parts can be aggrovating and it decreases the value of the car. Nice find make sure to keep it that nice!

Just a competitive soul, eh? Feel free to keep bidding. I bid $6,000 on my own car...if you top that, I may let you 'win'.
