Custom 03 SXT with full SRT-4 swap

$6000 with everything
-$500 if you only want the stock rims and not the 18's in the pic below
-$500 if you don't want the full euro interior including both front and rear dash pads
-$500 if you don't want the sound system including head unit, speakers and trunk setup.
Well, no sappy story but I've come to the point to sell my car. Many of you guys know it but to those that don't it is a 03 SXT with a full (body wiring harness and all) 05 SRT_4 swap. The engine and trans only have 80k miles on them (the gauge cluster was swapped over with the engine ect. so millage is accurate) SOO much work has been done to this car that I'm sure I'll leave some things out. I made it to be fast yet classy.... well I tried ok Asking price is FIRM and includes the car, both sets of rims and tires (stock powdercoated srt-4 rims with bridgestone pontarez and the 18x8.5 rims in the above pic, 1 extra set of tail lights (1 led and the other is all red) 1 extra stock set of headlights, a stock clean SRT-4 trunk and spoiler and a euro gauge cluster.
Some things you may or may not notice in the pics are the euro turns in the fenders, the FULL euro interior including seats, door panels, armrest and gauge cluster (that I really only use for shows) Car has custom BC coilovers (1 step less valves and springs for a softer ride) w/ camber plates in the front AND rear.
Car is in VERY good condition and can be driven anywhere, reliably. There are only 3 "problems" that kinda bug me. 1: in the trunk, the piece of wood over the spare tire is sagging. 2: the front bumper has gotten a few chips in it along with a small ding in the pass rear door. 3: the trans has a hard time downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. I have taken the trans apart and had Ed Petters rebuild it for me but the problem seems to be something else. I do alot of city driving so sometimes it can annoy me but otherwise it's solid, no slipping out, no problems going up through the gears or down except from 3rd to 2nd sometimes.
One other thing I want to mention is the vin. There is nothing wrong with it and it is legal, it's just odd since it was given a new vin while in Oklahoma. I was told when I bought the car, that I would have no trouble getting the title transferred since the previous owner had done all the leg work to make it legal. He was right, and I do have a clean title for this 03 SXT with the correct strange vin on it. I just felt this should be mentioned although I guarantee there will be no problems for whoever buys this.
Anyway on to the pics (which I will have better front interior pics and engine pics tomorrow.)
When the car was being swapped. The SRT-4 was rear ended and the red car was his daily. I do also have the original vin off the doner SRT-4 in case you need it for racing to prove the engine wasn't stolen.
Car was totally repainted the Ford sterling silver color.
Custom sound system in the trunk and all JL audio speakers amp and subs.
This is an old pic but it just shows the all blue gauge lighting and double din touch screen radio
Pics of when I did the trans before I sent it off to Ed Petters.
Projector headlights
Custom interior with real Alcantara
Just some other shots of the car
A tail shot of the custom spoiler
Some powdercoated of the stuff on the engine..... will post engine pics tomorrow.

I've been asked about the vin alot so here is the info...... 2 cars, 1 rear ended srt-4 and the guys daily. Unlike most of us who would just swap in an engine, the guy who did this, decided to do it the correct way. After doing the swap he applied for a new vin for the swapped car, stating and proving that the new engine in it was his ( i still have the original vin from the srt-4 donor) kept all paperwork (which I also have), and was issued a new vin. for the dash and it was also stamped into the drivers door frame. The new vin on the car does match the vin on the title and is OKO631200. Yes that is the vin
I've had some interest in it but please remember it has ALOT invested in it. It is not a project car. Also I do live close to the phila airport if anyone wants to fly in and drive away HAPPY

Mods please lock
Wives do come in handy LOL After talking with her and seeing actually how much $$$ and just personal love I've put into this car we decided we can take care of the bills another way. SOO the car is staying, cause probably what would happen is I'd pick up another neon and dump a bunch more money into it. See everyone in Carlisle next year!

had an offer for the $5000 minus the rims and probably the sound system but had to pass. I do love the car and have sooo much stuff still planned for it.
