Noted flaws include a ding in the right-rear window trim and solvent popping of the paint on the trunk lid and roof. The front valance was refinished in 2022.
This is a re-list after the vehicle was previously sold on BaT in August 2022 and the winning bidder failed to follow through with their commitment to purchase. This was not due to any fault with the vehicle. The winner has been banned from future participation on BaT.
Refinished 16″ basketweave alloy wheels wear 225/50 BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S tires. Braking is handled by ventilated and slotted front and solid rear discs with an anti-lock system. The swaybar end links, bushings, and half shafts were reportedly replaced in June 2022 along with the lower control arms, and Bilstein shocks have been installed along with aftermarket rear springs. The self-leveling rear suspension has been removed.
The heated power-adjustable front sport seats were reupholstered in May 2019 by Regal, and matching upholstery extends to the rear seat, armrests, lower dashboard, and center stack. Additional amenities include cruise control, an onboard computer, and electric windows. The Sony CD stereo is inoperative, and additional aftermarket audio equipment added under previous ownership reportedly includes two Pyle 2100 amplifiers, a Hafler amplifier, MB Quart front speakers, Nakamichi rear deck speakers, and an eight-disc CD changer mounted below the driver’s seat. The seller notes that the air conditioning has been recharged with R12 since the last auction concluded.
The three-spoke M Tech I steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,900-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 164k miles, approximately 65k of which were added during current ownership.
The 3.5-liter S38B35 inline-six features individual throttle bodies, and it has been modified with a Dinan chip and exhaust camshaft gear. An oil leak was reportedly fixed at the banjo fitting in preparation for the sale, and the following components were replaced under current ownership:
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Getrag 280 five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The exhaust has been modified with an H-pipe and removal of the catalytic converters. The seller notes a hole in the heat shield of the rear muffler.
