Default 96CE (LT1) may pull the trigger...

Located a 1 owner 96CE (LT1) auto... I know, I know, the LT4 guys will arrive soon to bash... lol

Anyway, it has 56K, a one owner, Z51 car It is also a G44 G92 car... So, pretty well loaded up. Paint is near perfect, interior is the same (black).. Brand new tires, it has sat for sometime in a climate controlled garage... But it starts and runs nicely. I am sure I will have to charge up AC system, replace injectors, and those little things but hey, those are things I can do myself and isn't that why we buy these cars..? I have always liked these cars and wanted to add one to the stable. Having an Army buddy check it out next week before I commit.

Thought i'd share...

I've always liked the '96 CE's. If it's what you want and the price is reasonable I would jump on it. Low mile single owner cars tend to sell quickly.

If you want an auto, it sounds like a really nice car.

Its mine if I want it... I also like the fact that it is an OBDII car....

I'll either pass, commit next week... Trying to work out logistics... I'll incur additional monies getting it here to Dallas. I know what I am willing to pay for the car itself... IF it were here in TX I would have bought it yesterday.... The Carfax is perfect... paints a total picture of how the car was maintained this whole time. However, it has been sitting ( not in the elements) since 17....
