I have posted this car before but it is now 3.2 swapped.

It's an '89 Virginia car that I did all the work myself on. The car is silver on gray and runs very well. It has a 3.2 swap with a welded MTX. The engine and transmission were completely went over before installation into the car and they are mechanically sound. It still needs a couple of things to be a solid car though. It's from Virginia and it is 99 percent rust free. The silver paint job was done sometime in it's past but I am unsure of when it was painted. The car's original color looks to be Titanium. The interior seems like it wasn't taken care of very well and isn't in very good condition. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. It is located in PA 20 miles south of Pittsburgh.

----PA Inspected until 4/2011----

If anyone wants a picture of anything specific let me know and I will get it.

I will also have pictures of the undercarriage up on or before the weekend depending on when I get it on the lift.

I apologize, I forgot to mention this car seems to be a stripper model SHO.

No, the A/C was deleted when I had the drivetrain out.

Here are some interior pics:

Doesn't look like a stripper to me. Has Auto Climate control, auto headlamps, power antenna, keyless entry and premuim sound. The only options it's missing is full leather, moonroof and power passenger's seat. Am I correct?

Yeah you got it. Show's you how much I know about SHO options...

So there are SHOs that came with non-power antennas?

More Pics and Update

Ok guys, I installed ALSFBs (Thanks James).

I also took pictures of the undercarriage and a couple of other things.

Don't mind the oil/grease on the subframe and other places that's from the original 3.0 that leaked everywhere.

The 3.2 motor had how many miles before swapping over 3.0 pulleys etc. ? Whats causing the oil on the undercarrage ?
Lastly inspected? Didnt notice any window stickers.

Looking for a III gen but wanted to swap out my 93 SHO 3.2 it was beat from previous owner. I shouldnt say beat oil changes every 7k from Kmart. Gave me paper work after the sale thought cool maintanence records. One day bored I read through them (yikes)

The 3.2 that I put in had around 70k miles. The mileage was recorded by the salvage yard 'Sechrist Used Auto & Truck Parts' in Dawson, PA.

The oil on the undercarriage has nothing to do with the fresh 3.2. It's from the 3.0 that used to be in the car and I just never got around to cleaning it off. Both the transmission and the engine don't leak one drop of oil/fluid.

I forgot to add that the car is PA inspected until 4/2011.

Ok guys, I'm lowering the price down to $2500. I know it's not much but I need to sell this car sooner than later. Don't be afraid to throw me some offers.

Also, how do I change the title of the thread?
