I told my coworker (the go-between) that you are interested. He will talk to the owner and see where he stands at the moment and see if i can get you a phone number. But if it works out for you i expect some rallyx driving lessons as a finders fee.

Please do, I mentioned it to my employer and he seems interested in it if the body is solid, so he wants to see photos. I'm not against going to take a look in person this weekend, either. Of course, I just got another car so I don't personally have room to work on it, else I'd snap it up in an instant. Ve haff vays of gettink engines out see bottom mitout ein lift...

So, um, if one were to buy one of these things...is avoiding metal in the oil as simple as making sure it is ok right this second, and then immediately turning off Active Fuel Management?

Scratch that. Well loved, new transmission, $4k. I was just thinking, track season is coming and I have had gutless lightweight cars for about 8 years now. This has got to eb the cheapest way to a daily driveable 300 horsepower. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/cto/5964960675.html
It looks like the owner has a buyer lined up. Sorry if i got your hopes up unnecessarily.

I would do unreasonable things in order to acquire an LS4 powered Celebrity VR wagon. Fortunately, the people around here will understand that.
