Dear Potential Buyer:
I am selling my clean 1994 SHO to help fund another car project. It has power everything, including automatic sunroof! I purchased this car from a H.S. friend with the hopes of restoring it to its full glory and adding it to my growing permanent car collection. This is a very fun, fast, reliable, safe, and comfortable car to drive. It is also my daily driver. It is also becoming quite rare to own. It will be truly missed. Over $8k invested in restoration. Asking $1,500 or best offer. Thanks, Edward
I can be reached by cell number at (914) 582-4035 for more details.

Here are a few other fun facts from original owner:*
* Ported heads.
* 3.0L cam installed.
* Stock exhaust replaced & cat deleted. (Weld leak on down pipe)
* K&N panel filter.
* 70 mm MAF
Suspension/component modifications:
* 96 Brake upgrade
* FPS Subframe connectors
* FPS Aluminum subframe bushings
* Koni inserts / Eibach springs
* Front strut bar
* Kenwood subwoofer amp + 10” Bazooka
* Alpine head unit
Repair (To Do List):
* Although the rebuilt transmission shifts through all gears OK. At times, the transmission will shift out of 1st gear into 2nd gear with a hard bump. In addition, when you want to accelerate hard to pass a vehicle on the highway, the transmission will release the top gear and rev, then bang hard into the lower gear if not careful. When using the overdrive trigger on the shifter, sometimes the front end shakes from the torque. Lately, the transmission has been slipping at times when cold, although the reservoir is full to spec. I'm not a mechanic, but I have been around old cars all my life. I feel the transmission can use another rebuild and a different torque converter. If it were me, I would purchase a crate rebuild with matching torque converter and send the car's core to the supplier. They are cheap to buy now, about $1,200. I found one here: https://spprecision.com/products/ax...MI987flcTw4AIVCz0MCh0jOgCOEAkYAyABEgK5lfD_BwE
* The upper serpentine belt pulley squeaks at times. They are hard to find. I would remove and soak in oil for a week and re-install.
* All 4 car tires need replacing. The are safe to drive on dry roads, but not wet or snow.
* The back of the headliner at the rear glass is beginning to tear. Looks good everywhere else inside.
* The rear defroster stopped working this past winter. About the same time the rear glass was tinted prior.
* Rust has started to peek out of the drive side rear quarter panel fender lip and around the rear glass trim.
* The exhaust down pipe will need to be replaced or repaired to fix leak noise.
* The foot emergency brake does not work. It had not worked when purchased.
* The car sometimes has difficulties starting hot (after driven).
* Water/moisture is getting into the trunk.
* A/C needs a recharge.
These are the only remaining issues I know.
