Seeing if there is interest in this thing... It i an '89, odometer shows 70K IIRC, I will have to double check, I know it is under 75K though. It is black with red interior and a 5-speed. The car sat in storage for about 8 years or so. When I got it the fuel tank and lines where flushed, coolant was flushed, oil was changed, plugs were changed and brake fluid was changed. The engine is said to only have about 20K miles on it, I cannot verify this but all the gaskets you can see look brand spanking new. I am trying to get the receipts and build info from the guy I bought it from but I have not gotten a hold of him yet. This car is a torque monster! I think it is making about 15 pounds of boost right now, I plan to add another 5% overdrive at some point.

Since I have had it, I did the above mentioned stuff as well as put on some new parts. Here is what I can remember right off the top of my head.

76MM C&L MAF with 42lb sampling tube
75mm BBK Throttle Body (new TPS and IAC sensors put on)
42lb Precision Turbo fuel injectors
94-95 Blower with coated rotors (94-95 intakes to match, inlet ported to fit 75mm T.B.)
10% overdrive pulley on the blower
shorty headers (passenger side has a leak, haven't looked at it yet)
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
2"-2.5" raised/big bore supercharger top (doesn't look great but gets the job done!)
big ole front mount intercooler (stuff behind bumper cover cut away for more air flow)
2.5" I.C. pipes (welded except the cast 90*s I just put on to replace 90* couplers)
EGR has been removed (so CEL is on now)
HyperTech chip
has some American Racing 5-star 16"s and comes with some AR "157"s as well
fresh ABS unit (notorious on these cars for going bad)
comes with a set of gears (3.08's IIRC, I can double check on that)
freshly rebuilt window motors (rebuilt them myself and they work GREAT)
I also centered the radiator since the old intercooler isn't there anymore.

Intercooler needs some mounts made. I just used some angle with holes for now and planned to use that as a template to make some nice aluminum ones or just drop it off with Trevor and let him make something...

I am sure there is more but that is what I recall off the top of my head. the car does have some issues, I will begin fixing them one by one here before too long if I still have it but once everything is fixed expect the price to go up a bit. the passenger header has a leak and it needs a steering shaft joint. The shifter is also a very common problem with these cars and only costs about $25 to fix. the steering shaft joint is a plastic "rag" joint and should be replaced as they are known to suck as well. Flaming River has a nice u-joint and the shaft stock needed to do this and it can be done for about $50, windshield I punched one day and busted but I have a guy that can install a new one for like $175~. Paint isn't great either, I buffed it out pretty good but the TOPS of the car (trunk lid, roof and hood) didn't really work out.

EDIT: after looking at the pics I remembered it needs corner lights as well. Also, I do have all four center caps for those rims. If anyone is interested we could also agree on a price for it with everything fixed. As in you give me a deposit, I fix everything and then you finish paying for it. Also, I have removed the little piece on the E-brake that "clicks" and holds the E-brake in place, it can easily be put back on though.

Yeah, I don't really want to sell it but I could use the money for the Mach One so I figure I would throw it up. She runs a lot better since you where here, that little bit of smoke was the thermostat housing leaking and making its way onto the headers, obviously spent the $5 and fixed that LOL
