T Tops, stock turbine wheels with stock size tires( about 35% tread left). Body and frame have not been wrecked. The only rust I know of is a small half dollar size hole in the floor under the drivers feet, and under the T-Top on the drivers side. I have owned this car for a year and a half and have driven it daily rain or shine. First I will list what the previous owner did to the best of my knowledge. Then I will List what I have done.

I think that is all of it. I have a lot of pictures so please feel free to e mail or PM me with request or questions.
I cannot deliver the car much farther that a 300 mile radius from Houston. I usually work 6 days so it needs to be in a days driving distance. Outside 300 miles it's up to the buyer to either meet me or arrange shipping.
Thanks for looking

I like the T Tops but I think most people are more interested in a hardtop car. They think that the hatch roof design is too week for any serious driving. Are you in a rush to sell it? If not then hold out and you will find someone who will pay the 8k.
 
The ad caught my eye since i grenaded my lt1 yesterday. But texas is just a little far for me, getting there would be my biggest problem as opposed to the sale price. Hope it sell though
 
It is a nice drive from Ca to Texas, just think of all the nice people ou will meet on the way. :)

I have just recently replaced the rear main seal/oil pan gasket. I also did the intake with a genuine GM intake gasket,turbo specific PCV valve, and grommet.
