Well, I think I might part with my Colt. I really want something newer, but don't think anyone here is willing to offer the price I want. I'll post pics if there is any interest. I can answer any questions you might have as I assembled this car from a shell to its current state.

Condition:
Body is straight for the most part. 20 years of driving are showing, but it's by no means a POS. One very small rust spot on roof at windshield trim area. Interior is kinda rough. Driver's seat shows lots of wear as well as 20 years of stains. No carpet or rear seats. Previous owners removed much of the interior. I have since installed rear paneling and something that resembles a clean rear seat removal. "Upgraded" door panels with power windows that actually work. Vinyl is beginning to crack and pervious owner cut out speaker holes that are not "professional". One dash crack and a typical cracked windshield courtesy of Colorado roads. Front bumper has been hacked for side mount intercooler as well as a front mount intercooler. Overall the car is a 5 out of 10. (of course that's subjective)
Known issues are a random no-start when turning the key. A little bump on the starter in gear will typically get it going on the first try. I'm fighting an idle issue right now and it pulls a little left at the moment. The A/C is charged and ready to go, but the A/C switch will not activate the compressor. If you jump the compressor, it does blow cold. The transmission does not grind and only a slight "notch" when shifting to 3rd during cold starts. The car is equipped with cruise control, but a cruise control cable and under hood unit would be required.
I don't have any "need" to sell this car, I'm just ready to move on. It's a fun car and someday I might return to it, or a clone. The car is solid and does not leak any fluids. (anymore
) The car has already passed a Nevada Smog check this year. I have done all oil changes with Mobile 1 Synthetic and replaced the timing set when purchased 15k miles ago. My price is probably high, but I feel this is what the car is worth to me and what it owes me since purchased. You can also take into account what it costs to build a clone.
I'll continue to fix the car up and drive it daily. If it doesn't sell before Feb. 12th I plan to take it to the strip for my first passes in the car after 2.5 years of ownership.If there is anything else, feel free to post here, or PM me.
