Has AC compressor installed but just needs the AC lines ran.

Issues:
- Small rip in the back seat side speaker cover
- Small rip in the driver seat on the door side. Will probably just sew this up myself
- Leather glove box needs to be re-sewn at the bottom. No visible tear but you can feel it if you put your hand down there
- Need AC lines ran. Doesn't keep car from running obviously

Mid 11 second street car. Made 467hp/464tq @ 19lbs Obviously has more boost you can throw at it. I just never pushed it that hard to get the numbers

Drives great. Beautiful sound when the boost comes up.

This was my car since I was 17. Started out with a 305 TBI. In college, after speaking to some car friends and some help from someone who was going to a stage II motor in their Buick Grand National, I decided to swap in an LC2. The car ended up making 467hp/464tq on the dyno. It had a small piece about it in Pontiac Enthusiasts magazine when they came to see Stenod's shop.

Recently I've decided to move on from doing the car thing for awhile and start a new hobby. Obviously I stored this car every winter and took very good care of it throughout the years.

Big thank you to the following people and shops that helped me with my car throughout the year.

- Mike Mizzi and his brother for the motor swap and fabrication work. You guys did an amazing job
- Stenod Performance for their amazing fabrication work and talking me into that Dana 60.
- Engineered Victories for the dyno and transmission work
- Victory Racing for their awesome help throughout the years when I couldn't figure something out and for their amazing tuning work when I needed it most
- LTLHomer for helping me out in the garage when I needed it
- Ryelou for the great deals on the tires
- All of my car friends from all the different sites I've been on throughout the years (MM, TB, TGO..)

And anyone else that's helped me with the car that I forgot over the 15+ years I've owned it.

My father-in-law was just saying he wanted a third-gen with a GN motor in it...

I don't think he can swing it, but he's in Fenton and knows lots of car guys that might want it. I'll give him a heads-up.

People were asking for interior photos. See below.

I removed the cup hold from the drivers side because my foot kept hitting it.






The seat rip and back seat rip

Just got the car back today. Gauges back to normal (except the speedo needs to be recalibrated).

I'll be emailing everyone that got with me. I should be available next week to have people come over to see it.
