Default Barney, Deposit taken.!!

Well guys and gals, I just tried to make a deal on my car and found that the car was in a front end accident. When my friend and I arrived at Texas Toys years ago to purchase the car, the sales person handed us a car fax that showed clean history. I still have that car fax and its clean. We just ran a car fax and today and it shows front end damage. I WILL BE CALLING TEXAS TOYS !!! The front end damage was reported before my friend owned the car, so how does the Texas Toys car fax not show anything. Guys, if I knew this before posting this car I would have been stright up front with that. As many of you have seen the car, its clean as clean can be. Sorry for any confusion.

At this point, Make an offer..



So after not putting more than 1,000 miles on the car in the last year, I have figured it should go to a P-Car fan that can enjoy it. Barney has 47k miles on it and I have owned it since 21k. As most of you have seen, I have put a ton of work into him to make the car up to my specs. To be stright forward, the only issue is the dreaded second gear syncro(sometimes). I have spoken with Rick from Deman Motorsports here in NY, and the fix with a new clutch/pressure plate and bearing would be 5k. Taking that into consideration, I'm asking 57k for the car. I have ALL of the removed parts execept the wheels and Cats. I have documented everything on the car since I have owned it and have evey reciept to show. Please e-mail me at 993twin@gmail.com so I can send off a spec. sheet of the work performed. I have done all of the work myself, as I'm an Aircraft Tech.

1996 is the year...

BTW...It now has the Turbo-S front lip...

Cell Number if needed: 914-906-9531

Thank you for your interest... Mike

Mike: I have followed your efforts over the years and it is too bad you can't just keep it and drive it. Great looking car, guy. GL with sale.

Good luck with the sale, looks like a beautiful car. If I may make a suggestion, we know the exterior is Purple but what color is the interior?

Man- I love your car and am sorry you are letting it go. I'm even more sorry I don't have the cash set aside to take it off your hands. Given its unique color, I'm sure it will sell quickly!

I've seen this car up close many times and it is one incredible car that has been more than well cared for. The next owner is going to be very lucky. GLWS Mike.
