Price: $2500/obo/trade (see below)

Hey guys, as much as I'd love the finish the car, with the baby, trying to move, etc, I've just got down right tired of working on the car. I haven't even really gotten the chance to drive it with the new motor in it. It doesn't need much to get driving again, I just don't have the motivation to chase it down. I will get some more up-to-date pictures tomorrow. Here's a few of the old ones I have, the Euro tails will be going into my NYG, and stock tail lights re-installed, unless you feel like paying for them.

There is a replacement fender on the car now, but the small scratches are on the door.

Here's a more recent photo of it sitting:

The good:
Built 2.0 SOHC
.040" over Wiseco pistons on Eagle rods
Crane 005
Ported head (unknown who did it)
Crane cam gear? (I'll look tomorrow)
OBX long tube header
Custom mandrel bent 2.5" exhaust, metallic core high flow cat, thermal muffler (I'll be upset to lose this muffler)
R/T Ernie intake manifold with ATX TB
Crane Ignition (is able to retard timing, I only used it for the two step and top limiter)
Mopar DOHC ecu
SAFC2
3.94/.81 trans with phantom grip LSD
Clutchmaster stage 3 clutch (95 style)
Euro no-tach cluster (I was going to put in an aftermarket tach, so far I've just been using the SAFC as a tach)
Fully poly mounts and poly bobble
PS/AC deleted

The bad:
PS/AC deleted (depending on how you look at this)
A trans seal is leaking, and there is an issue in the braking system. I'm not sure what the issue is with the brakes, I believe something may be damaged in one of the rear drums. The car will come with a rear disc swap kit. The car sat all last winter. In July, I put it on the ground and a drum was locked up. When I got it to unlock, the brakes didn't work, that's where I stopped my investigating. It will also need tires, it will come on 95 sport wheels painted graphite. The trans was also popping out of 5th gear under power. No idea what the issue there is.

The meh:
No rear seats, or trunk carpet. Has a corbeau driver's seat in it right now but I'll put in two 2gn front seats in the car. Does still have carpet in the seating area.

I'd really love to finish this car up, because the little driving I did up and down my hill, it felt very strong, just scary on the brakes. It definately has 13's in it with slicks. The motor is probably making around 180 WHP. If nobody buys this by February I'll either fix the brakes and trans seal, or part the car out.

I'm selling the car so I can buy a used pickup truck, and sell my Dakota so I can get rid of the payment I have on it. I'd be willing to trade for an s10 pickup or s10 blazer with a 4.3 v6, but let me know what you have, I may be up for options. The best way to contact me is going to be by e-mail, since it goes to my phone. I will help with delivery of the car within a few hours, but you will pay gas/tolls/etc.

Thanks for reading, e-mail me with any questions or offers. I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting about the car.

I'm thinking of pulling the engine, trans, and bolt ons to put into my NYG.

Is there any interest in this car, either complete or as a shell?

Yeah it sucks, but as long as you're alright it's not so bad. Gives you a reason to upgrade the coupe to a sexier color.
