Here it is: My 89 Coupe that I just rebuilt 2 months ago. RECEIPTS FOR NEARLY EVERYTHING. but do have receipts for rebuild on engine

I am also interested in trades for a nice Truck or SUV.

I would like $7500 pretty firm but can move slightly.

Here is the break down:

1989 Coupe; converted from a 4 cylinder

Right now; it probably makes around 410-430 RW; no tune on it since I am still breaking the new motor in. have a lot of miles to go

This car was converted last year (May, 2008) from a 92 CHP donor car

- At the time: it received New carpet and headliner.

- The seats are out of an 85 GT with no headrests; they have been recovered but have a wear mark on the driver seat by your legs and not in the normal side spot.

- The car also received BRAND NEW A/C parts and Heater core using R-12 so it's icey cold. -> I just noticed a leak yesterday and will the buyer will more than likely have to have it recharged. (09-28-2009)

- Also, I bought an polished S-trim and stuck that on as well.

By the winter time, it blew the the front crank and rear main seals so I rebuilt the motor this year. You can see the rebuilt stamps on the motor, from my engine builder, on the back of the block. I also have receipts for all the new parts that went into the engine like rings, oil pump, gaskets, etc.

Since, I tore it down this Spring, I decided to add a bunch of parts. I have receipts for almost everything.

Exterior is an 8 out of 10; a few marks and 2 small dents but it is straight as an arrow

Interior is a 9 out of 10; because of the wear mark on the seat

I"ll get some video for you this weekend, been real busy and by the time I'm done with everything it's late...

and to be honest for the power this car makes, it's better to have a T5Z in it....can handle the power with out robbing any...

FYI: for whoever buys this car. I just spent $175 on a new starter and solenoid today. I converted the car to a high torque 93-95 style starter.... starts in 2 cranks....plus it makes it easier access to get the starter in and out

also ,the trans is now not just a world class... it is a Tremec T5Z
