​ Our cars will be around far longer than we will be, (hopefully).... And us purists, and i call us that for the obvious reason is we are here, our cars will be owned by people we will never know....becuz of the care and money we invest in them, will last longer than most others..and we gotta face it....they are gonna have their way with it... and theres nothing we can do... Lol... Sorry im just stoned and was thinking bout that lol
Amen, brother!!!

You're right; it'll take someone who appreciates the time, money, planning, and execution of how I've advanced/maintained the value of this vehicle!

A couple years ago, I paid $16k for this fully documented SS Panel in need of serious maintenance.
Previous owners installed a matching rear seat w/seat belts, thru-the-mirror back-up camera, and the center dash RPD (in addition to the A-pillar gauge).

I procured and installed the following:
Reconditioned factory SS wheels, new tires (BFG G-Force), and new TPM sensors, Replaced curb-rashed wheels and worn tires.
New stainless cat-back exhaust/muffler (ZZP); Replaced leaking, rusty exhaust.
New aluminum intercooler (ZZP). Replaced cracked plastic factory.
New headlights. Replaced cloudy ones.
New fuel lines. Replaced rusty and leaking lines
New Battery. Replaced 6-yr. old battery
Used fuse block (N/A new). Replaced corroded fuse block (dealer diagnosed $$$)
New turn signal switch. Replaced non-cancelling unit.
New brake pads and rotors. Replaced worn pieces.
New serpentine belt and tensioner. Replaced 12-yr. old originals.
Other items were not "necessary" (spare "ZZP-Tuned ECM, rear panel carpeting, etc) not to mention hours of cutting/buffing/waxing the exterior.

I figured I wouldn't loose too much at $20k.
If somebody wants any SS Panel, they aren't cheap; nobody is giving them away. And this one is even more "exclusive"!
