It took months of debate but am very sad to say she is officially up for sale due to a number of reasons...

The car works greats, starts up every time, even after months of hanging out in the garage. I am sure I forgot some things but I tried to gather as much information as I could and I do have 80-90% of the purchase receipts for all the parts for this car. I tried to keep everything possible and I also have photos (somewhere) from the tear down of the original black car to what she is now. It took about 6.5 years and I did everything except the engine build and body work myself in my garage without a lift. What an experience.

Anyways, here are the details:

This build is setup to run 12 lbs of boost and that was my ultimate goal - D1SC Procharger. Whoever purchases this car should only purchase the car with the intent to add a supercharger to run 9-12 lbs. Otherwise you will really miss out on the true potential of the build. We are expecting about 650-700 hp range with the supercharger on 93 pump gas. Chad Golen can verify the engine build as we have been in constant communication during tuning and have developed a good relationship. I am sure he will extend the same courtesy and service to anyone who takes ownership of this vehicle.

I wasnt there for the original dyno tune but I was told the car made just under 500 hp at the crank NA. I had since fine tuned the fuel tables a bit more because I have not been able to find a local tuner who knows the FAST XFI system (that I also trust and will pay the ridiculous amounts that are charged here in NY). The XFI forums are incredible and several people helped tune my car for free and now its running amazing. I previously had the factory computer and that just wasnt going to do it.

I have never seen a nicer thirdgen in person and with the supercharger on here this car will truly be a rare car to have in the years to come. Lots of time and money has been put into this build and my loss will be someones gain.

I am asking $39,500 OBO. Much more was put into the car with all the parts, body work, paint, time, etc. To build another like this will easily cost 50k+ if you pay for someone to do including the cost of all the new parts. All the parts on this car were purchased NEW. I also have the title for the car. Location is Long Island, NY.

I'll provide any pictures, videos, information to any serious potential buyers. Please PM me or email me at axp2170@gmail.com (fastest way to reach me).

I am in no rush to sell and will continue to maintain and occasionally show the car and local shows when I have time. I also have tons of original parts, random parts, fluids, and all sorts of other stuff that I'd throw in with the car as it would be more useful with the car than without.

I dont know how to post pictures on this site and I cant host images anywhere. I have the same add posted on ThirdGen.org so you can see photos there if you are a member or you can email me if you are interested. The car is truly amazing.

Don’t know if you are still active on the forum or not or if you even still have your 3rd Gen, but that is one sharp looking ride to say the least!
