I'd humor all reasonable offers, but I've got $30,000 for the car in my head. Car would be sold 'as is.' I'll be losing money at that price point as is typically the case on projects. I'm in no rush, but figured I'd see who's interested (please PM me for more required details).

I think you'll find the number of replacement parts substantial. I can provide most receipts/invoices to the buyer. For major components I got assistance from reputable shops like LG Motorsports and Carr's Customs (thus part of my investment $$$). The below list is largely chronological. Given the changes you'll see below the car can really get after it if you give it some throttle.
