Hahaha my bad lol I didn't even try to beat him up on the price we went for a ride and I handed him the cash

Yeah, Mano said it happened really quick. My buddy, I showed him the car and put him and Mano in touch, and the only holdup was him getting the cash. He ended up buying a 96 Z28 with 56K miles and an OLD Paxton Non-Intercooled blower setup installed on it for $4500, but it's been giving him troubles unfortunately.

Never... I still have a whole LT1 parts bin laying around and a bunch of leftover goodies in my closet in high hopes of finding another one soon. I am just very glad the car went to someone that enjoys it, keeps in contact with me and updates me on its progress via FB and here. Hopefully he makes it out to the shootout with the car like he mentioned so you guys can finally get to see the red sled in person.

Damn, nice car. I always liked that car too. It made me think about getting that hood, but I think what makes it look good is the strip on both side of the hood and my car is black only. I'm surprised it was for sale at that price for so long too. Your not wasting any time playing and working on it.
