Car Condition and other Particulars - New Info:
Known issues:
1) ABS: Something is wrong with the ABS on this car. ABS will prevent lockup sometimes, but allow a wheel to lock up under braking other times. It is a mystery. I have been driving the car with the ABS fuse pulled to make it consistent.
2) Probably related to the ABS: The Speedometer is not working. This just happened, and I have not started looked at anything to determine the cause.
3) The motor pulls very well actually, but a leak-down test shows it is tired. The motor has approximately 3,000 miles (all track miles) since the top was rebuilt when the timing chain broke. The rebuild was done by a local Chevy dealer, and is completely stock.
The transmission is in good shape with no issues, but is the original tranny for the car.
General Condition:
Exterior
The car is in decent condition cosmetically. It has been tracked extensively, and the paint is unquestionably rough. It has never, to my knowledge, been repainted (aside from the rear fascia, which obviously was painted black). The rocker areas behind the front wheels are quite rough, as rocks and debris thrown from the front wheels sandblast the car on track.
I took the car to California Speedway in May, the first event for this car in about a year and a half (did I mention I never drive it?). It was on the same Nitto NT01s as when it last ran, meaning two year old tires, and the car ran very well with a a 1:55 for the Grand Am Competition Course layout. Results are posted here. That's the good news. The bad news is someone with a scooter ran into the passenger's side door, so there is now about a 6" scratch on the door where the numbers go. I will be adding new pictures to this page by 7-5-2008 to show the damage and more detail about the car.
Interior
The interior is in very good shape. The interior is complete, down to the AC and the door skins. Here are very high resolution current pictures of the interior of the car, taken 7-27-2008.
In summary, this car is a running T1 car. It's clearly not in perfect condition, and I think that's well reflected in the price. It needs work if you're looking for a "perfect" T1 car, but it can be tracked (and raced) as it stands. This car is located in Irvine, CA.
