This car starts, runs, sounds, handles, and stops great. I have invested a lot of time and money into this vehicle and now regrettably I must sell it. The paint is average at best but the body is straight. Deserves a quality paint job. I have receipts for most of the work done and most of the parts purchased. I have lots of documentation, including a copy of build sheet, PHS, manuals, GM manuals in CD format, spare parts, and title in hand. ALL go with the car.
