I bought the car new in September of 2013. Over the years it became mostly a track car, and I spent a lot of time getting it how I wanted it. At the end of the season 2021, I money shifted the car on Summit Main and it's been sitting ever since. Finally decided to let it go, so that someone else can put a new engine in and enjoy it.

I have logs of every item purchased, and every bit of work performed on the car since new. Not including purchase (or gas or insurance), I put $51,231.68 into the car, even with doing most of the work on the car myself. I tracked every fill up on the car from new. I had the oil analyzed on a number of the oil changes.

There's one accident on the carfax - I hit a deer on the way back from the track to the hotel. I also rubbed the front on a tire wall. The hood, front bumper, one headlight, right fender, left side radiator, and a lot of the plastic bits up front have been replaced. Front & rear fenders have been rolled. The paint and interior are in really nice shape. I've kept it washed & waxed (and on a battery tender) even since it's been parked.

Until I borked it up, the car was fast and consistent on track,
but still daily drivable (AC, radio work).

I have both keys, window sticker, etc. Maryland title is clean.

Sounds like a great V8 swap candidate!
Brother, can you spare an S65?

I spent the last year and change noodling through a swap... S65, LS, and even K2xT. I finally came to the realization that I don't have the time or desire to make it happen.

Pending sale

Glad you have a sale pending that quick. I have neither time nor space, but that was a tempting project.

I got far more interest than I expected, and got a check for full asking price. It stings a bit, but it'll help me out to clear out the space - both mental and physical.
