Bump for pics. I'll push her out of the garage and take some more of the front end and the parts I have. For now, you guys can get an idea about her. BtW, the headers are just dirty. I'll try to polish them up for some pics if I have the time.
I'm pretty firm on the price.
No, I'm not Randy, though I think I've seen his car before. I don't get out to the shows or gatherings any longer.

Why so cheap? Egg me on and I'll raise the price!
Actually, I just don't have the time to deal with tire kickers and all that entails. I hate selling any car, to be honest. Already I have people trying to trade me their Harley, clapped out Mercedes or lowly offers of $5k. Really? I tell you, I hate selling a car!
You would think at $8k I'd have no problem selling her without negotiation, but I just know some guy is going to come over and offer me something so low I'm going to laugh in his face. I hate selling a car.
I'll be going back to California soon for business, so if anyone is serious then let me know asap.

Bump after being gone for a year...actually I'll be back home in a week.
I hope to have someone buy the car since I am moving. I will be placing the car in storage, if not does sell soon. It's possible that I will be transporting the car to another city, as well.
I'm serious about selling, but the problem that I faced last year was a bunch of calls with no one showing up and my working schedule doesn't permit me to waste time. So please be considerate to let me know a day in advance if you cannot make the agreed upon meeting time.
I had a lot of inquires about selling the extra parts separately, but that will only happen if the price is not met on the car, as $8k buys everything.

Still for sale. Considering partial trades (your cars + cash). Only looking at Mercedes (E, S, CLK), BMW (5 and 7 series) and certain Jaguars (no X-Types). Up to $5000 in value, so you'll need $3k cash, too. So this puts most years at 1997-2005.

It's an original big block car that came with the appriopiate sway bars, radiator, overflow Harrison radiator tank, big block halfshaft caps, etc. However, due to the fact that it was still getting hot in traffic when I used to drive it in Texas heat with no a/c to boot, I started upgrading the cooling system.
I haven't done much with the car other than store it for the past few years. In fact, one guy from this forum bought the hood from it some years ago, because it didn't have the wiper system anymore, so I had planned on putting a long style hood on it.
I just got back home to move the car into storage since I'm traveling so much. I really hate to see it sit and I really don't have the time for it, as I've been afflcted with carpal tunnel syndrome, so my wrneching hours are limited. Hopefully, some one will finally be serious enough to buy it this winter.
