I have owned this car since Dec of 2003. I started with it as a bone stock car with 113,000 miles at a bank repo lot. I have spent 9 years bringing this car to this point. It is a 9.8(maybe better) out of 10 both inside and out. I am extremely anal and nothing has been left to chance. I daily drove it for 5 years before getting really serious about the restoration. In the last 4 years, it has not seen snow/ice and only got wet to wash it and getting caught in the rain at MOD one year.

I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere. As you can see from the info below. It is running a very safe "street setup" tune of 361whp at only 18psi on Shell 93 octane gas.

I am asking $13,000 firm. That is $2000 less than appraisal value and that was before the interior restoration/dynomat work, EVO III tranny, drive shaft, engine bay, radiator, piping, battery, and ECMlink V3 w/SD setup dyno tuned work.

This car is insured for $20,000 at Hagerty Insurance (costs $400 a year). It is worth every penny.

If you have any questions, email me at [email protected] or PM me here with your phone number and I will call you.

The only "bad" thing, drips about 3 drops a month from the oil pan gasket.

Reason for sale? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif



Need new project, anything more this car needs is going to be a "personal choice" and not a need. I am ready to start looking for something else and I don't have the garage space to keep this and another "labor of love".

Build a bigger garage. Problem solved.

GLWS Terry!
 

I hope this car goes to someone as loving as you have been. That's a great looking galant. Just for clarification, there is no radio/audio in there?

There is no radio, but there is a 4 channel amp with IR remote and an Ipod cable (actually has 3 stereo RCA inputs). Connected to the factory wiring for speakers.

Not the best clarity but is decent and works well.

No AC. It worked fine before I removed it.

Could be re-installed but the radiator and oil cooler would have to be modified.

All electrical for it is still intact.

I want this so bad, but I highly doubt you'd be up for a straight up trade with my Typhoon. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif

I know you said no trades, but it doesn't hurt to ask. A 1960 mini cooper?
