I bought the car from a previous owner who was a PCA and 6sp Online member. He had 19” champion RG5s on it. I sold them a couple months ago and went with the 18” Apex SM-10s. Car rides a little better with the 18s.

Thank you NP. That would be nice if it did.

As someone who owns a ‘99 with XAA, LSD and 87,000 miles I sure hope it does!

Of course, if Bash Hat has the original wheels, that would be a plus for the auction.
Is the radio aftermarket? It’s not mentioned in the listing or clear from the photos. Could use more interior photos, and more detail photos overall.

And the exhaust is modded as well, though I think that’s a good thing!

I think this will do about 24k, in large part to the great sounds on the video 👍

It has an Alpine single din radio. Honestly I never even thought to mention it. I think I’ve turned the radio on maybe 4 or 5 times during my ownership. I much prefer listening to the exhaust noise 😁

I'm always too low on the totem pole, so I'll get a little bolder this time. Fac aero, 220, 222, 224 and the good lights. I will say $28,996.

Not a bidder, don't care for black, but this is a very nice example. A few over-revs might be the only negative.

Truly a good looking car!
It could be a "one and done" depending on how many miles you drive. We average about 2000-2500/year. It would take me a long time to need another replacement. I am sure bore scoring will happen prior to then LMFAO.

Spring is almost here, can't wait to wake sleeping beauty....

Do you know the LN bearing has a service life of 4-6 years?

Any chance we cannot turn this into another IMS thread?
