Hey guys--decided I need to downsize my fleet...I've got five cars and two motorcycles, and I just don't have time to enjoy or maintain them all, so some of them are going to go to a good home where someone will appreciate and enjoy them. I bought my SVT as a fun summer car, but haven't driven it since I got my Shadow, so I decided to sell. I'm the second owner, and I bought it three (or was it four?) years ago. It was a DD for the original owner for a while, and it shows some of the minor wear that comes with that. I only drove it as a summer car, and never in winter--you need a 4x4 truck just to get into my driveway, so I couldn't even if I wanted to lol. They sand roads here instead of salting them, so even if the PO did, it's not really an issue. Only 119K on it :).

Engine runs great...I dismantled the upper intake when I got it, and completely cleaned everything out. Also installed a small oil separator at that time to keep it from getting all gooped up again. Also replaced the water pump and thermostat at that time as a preventative measure. Also replaced the IMRC, and did a general tuneup with new plugs, air filter, etc. The rear sway bar links were also replaced. The drivers door has had the little plastic clip replaced so it opens like new now.

Has an older Alpine CD player, and a decent set of Pioneer 6x8s up front. AC is cold, heater blows hot. Power sunroof, seat, and all the windows work fine. Cruise works fine. Gearbox shifts smoothly. Clutch is original as far as I know.

Paint is pretty nice, but has some blems as you'd expect. Front bumper has a ding on the right side, and the hood clear coat will eventually need work. it's a nice looking car, and you're not likely to notice the imperfections unless you're looking for them. Has all the jack point covers.
Interior is nice, with some of the wear you'd expect from a former DD. Leather is nice, and the seats are actually pretty nice except for one of the seams on the upper drivers side seat is pulling apart a bit.

Anyway, it's a nice original, adult owned car. I'd call it "driver grade"...it runs and drives great, but has obviously been used. it's not a mint survivor, but a good solid car that would make a nice driver or a really nice start for a build or restoration. I'd really like to see it go to someone who knows what it is, and can appreciate it for that, which is why I'm posting it here. Attached some glam shots of it...if you want detail pics of the paint issues or anything just drop me a line. Asking $2000, located near Missoula, MT. If you arrange shipping, I'd be happy to drop it off. Feel free to ask questions...
Cheers,
Scott
