Send some of those $1000 6 speed cars up north. You can't touch one for under $3000 up here. :\

Had a dead battery in it from Wal-Mart.
Put it on the charger ... dead cell.
Took it to Wal-Mart ... replaced, no charge.

Sweet!

Installed battery.
PLugged in wiring harness.
Turned key ...motor lit right off the bat.
Sounds good and appears to hold decent oil pressure.

Sweet!

Definitely needs the clutch replaced.
Tranny goes in all the gears just fine.
No oil leaks ... well, for an LT1 any way.
Gutted the interior.

Sweet!

Car used to be teal green ... what is it about finding nothing but teal green cars?
