Keep any and all negative comments to yourself.I've got WELL over $10K invested in the car, with receipts for everything. Myself and BES_Stroked_Nova did ALL the work on the car, minus build the tranny, so I know most everything about the car.
You can look it up, this car was featured in GM High Tech Performance Magazine over a period of time from '00-'02 I believe, under the name "Magnum TPI." The car was sold as a roller, and converted for the LS1 before I got ahold of it.
I bought the car with a running, driving, LS1/T56 swap. Shortly after the cam swap, the car stretched a rod bolt or two (weak '98 bottom ends....).

It has some spots, the doors have small surface rust in the bottoms as most third gens do, there's a SMALL ding or two, and the paint on the roof has seen better days, but could proably be buffed. Nosecone will be freshly repainted.
The car shines when it's clean. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Interior:
Original red interior, ask anyone who's seen it, it's DAMN nice.
6 point weld in rollbar, with removable/swingout door bars.
Custom knurled shift knob
To be perfect, it'd need a headliner put in it. The carpet in the hatch area is slightly faded, but tolerable. Seats, and everything else, is perfect.
The car MOVES. The only time it's been driven hard with this motor (driven at all really) was during the tuning process. To give you an idea, with a 2.2 60', the car ran 13.1 @ 110MPH with a STOCK LS1 w/ 3.27 gears, on real street tires, and had a lot left in it then. This motor is FAR from a stock LS1.......
Price is at $9,000 OBO
Thanks!
