Well guys, although I do have an interested party that has been following this car since I first started to restore it, it's time to get a little more interest. I bought the car as a southern rust free and straight car the day my boy was born with the thoughts of restoring it for him and putting it away becuase of it's rarity so he can enjoy it when he is older. Well, after I started on it, the reality set in that storing a newly restored car for that many years doesnt make much sense. So the car needs to go to a good home, even though the old lady doesnt think so! The car was a very nice car when I bought it and would have been just fine to drive and cruise around but I'm a perfectionist, seriously ask my friends! The car is pretty darn rare from what I can find out with the options. I can give a complete list if someone is seriously interested but just a basic idea: Concert Sound, Black Out Trim, Astro Roof, Factory Security, posi rear etc. I took the car completely apart for paint. Glass was removed, doors, trunk lid, hood, bumpers, everything. The door jams, under the hood, under the trunk, trunk jams, everything was repainted with the exception of the firewall. My painter is also a perfectionist. Every singe detail was put into this car. We used Lesonal paint Cameo white Base/clear. Lesonal is a high quality German paint. This stuff is not cheap. He painted 4 layer base, 4 layers clear. The paint is unbelievable. Anyways, all the seals were replaced with GM seals, even the Astroroof, trunk seals. The body side moldings and factory pinstripe were installed. All of the black trim was re-sprayed prior to installation. inside the doors were coated as well to prevent any possiblity of rust in the future. Interior is redone as well with the headliner from GBodyParts. the Astroroof board, visors, speaker deck were also recovered. Visor decal was replaced as well. New floor mats. The only thing not original is the drivers seat. The original had a hole in it like someone had a screwdriver in their pocket so I found a very nice power seat that matched to replace the original. The car did not come with the factory power seat though! The engine bay is also highly detailed. I literally took everything apart aside from the long block and detailed every single little part. The headers, downpipe, crossover pipe, and heat sheild were all ceramic coated sterling silver, and they look amazing! I custom made stainless steel header studs to match the originals but these wont rust! the engine bay looks as new, if not better. All the decals including the door stickers, trunk stickers, etc were all remade to match original. The tire are brand new BFG Radial TA's that have not been on the road for more than 2 miles. And yes, the wheels do have grey valve stem caps for you purists!! The car has a Hooker Exhaust system so that is not original. The trunk is also highly detailed and looks new. This is a must see Turbo Limited and I garauntee absolutely no disapoinments. Everything works including the Factory alarm, cruise, vanity mirror, etc. I have a little more than $23K into this project and an unbelievable amount of work. If you are looking for a seriously collectable, serious show car, this is the real deal right here. I am asking $18.5K for the car and I am extremely firm on the price. Like i said, this is not your average Turbo Car. This thing has a ton of work and is unbelievably beautiful.

By the way, the paint job alone was a hair over $8k!

I guess that between the two of us, we probably could create a very happy client base and flourishing business, doing business the way that we do and selling ones the quality of what we two anal-retentive guys would buy. I have seen what you buy and know the quality is very similar to what my requirements are too. I will have to think carefully about that because I wouldn't want to put anyone out of business.
But then again, we both have families to feed.:biggrin:
