The car looks and runs great. Roughly 110k miles. With the exception of valve springs and the Power Plate, the long block is unopened. I thought I’d list it as-is before pulling it apart. Parted out it's about $9k plus $3k in parts -- priced to sell quickly, so I'll start at $11k. Or, make an offer minus the parts as priced below. No parts sell before the car.

• It put down 452rwhp/568rwt on 93 octane before the TH-style downpipe and a retune. The downpipe made an enormous difference.
• Power windows, power locks, tilt, cruise, delay wipers, rear defogger, am/fm cassette, concert sound, power antenna, power trunk release, trunk kit, posi, body side moldings, Aluminum bumper braces
• Recent paint
• New window-to-door moldings
• Everything works – including the A/C… but the power antenna is stuck in the up position and the tape player likes to hold on to cassettes. Drips some oil.
• The interior is in great shape with the exception of some flaking of “chrome” on the stalks and door pulls. The plastic around the driver door pull is cracked. The ring around the horn button has a crack. New screw covers on the door pulls
• The cluster in the car shows about 65k miles. I have the original cluster with 87k miles that I replaced because the trip odometer didn’t work. The replacement had about 42k on it at the time of the swap. I can provide documentation with exact mileages.
• Fresh Kirban “within 15% of original” Powermaster accumulator
• Recent water pump
• Recent radiator
• Recent ignition module
• Recent headliner
• New right upper control arm bushings
• Recent front-end alignment

• New fiberglas front bumper fillers, rears are excellent

This is a very solid and tight car with all of the bracing.
A well-sorted reliable car that could easily handle duty as a daily driver.

Not to derail this thread.
Am I reading this right? You are considering parting this car out?

I'm confused and slightly horrified.

Never mind (edit)
I see you are just removing the aftermarket parts.
 
I'd prefer to see it go as-is. It took years to get everything just right, but I understand opinions vary and nobody would do it the same way.

I just added brand new 80 lb Siemens injectors and a new Extender Extreme.
 
where is it located? I am near Cleveland. text me thanks nick 440 487 6747
