Message Times are very tough for me and I have finally considered selling my Z. This car means so much to me. I am the second owner. The first owner left the registration papers in the vehicle. It actually wasn't purchased until late 1997. When I bought this Z, it was completely stock. I have spent an extensive amount of time/money/parts/labor/etc to create

the Z that I wanted. See my profile to see all mods. They were all carefully and professionally installed by Bernard Bilski who is a well known Z mechanic.

Anyways, there is too much to put in this ad, too much to write.. this is one of those cars you have to see for yourself... It is an unbelievable car in its current state and will wow you, impress you, and take care of you.


Blue book on my car right now is 14.5k. This car is carfax certified. The parts and labor

alone worth of extras on this car are near 10,000 dollars. Trust me. I am an absolute audiophile and very picky. For the stereo, it's the best of everything, Eclipse processing,
Precision power equalizer and soundstream amplifiers, mb quart mids and highs - Q series mind you(MB Quart top of the line!). The stereo is absolutely wonderful, and the in dash eq allows to tune for different listening preferences. Again, check my profile, dynamat xtreme throughout most of the vehicle.

Driving wise, I can't even begin to explain how well this car drives. Suspension Techniques 26mm sway bars are installed in the front and rear of the vehicle. Subframe spacers, new tension-rod and steering rack bushings make her handle like a dream. The 18" wheels feel well suited. Basically the point I am trying to get across is that everything on this car was well thought out and planned. I have been installing car audio for years and did the entire sound system myself. The trunk is very useful. There is a raised floor with a flush view of the 3 soundstream amplifiers.

Here is a list of everything that was done to the vehicle in the 22 months that I have owned her.....(my Twinturbo.net profile)

So in terms of pricing, this is worth to me what it is worth. I am asking $19,000 or best offer. If you are serious about buying this car, feel free to contact me. My cell phone is acting funny but I check email all day long.


I love my car so much that it seriously pains me to sell it. I am dyer need of cash and life has gotten complicated. I am not necessarilly gung-ho about selling it at all. This ad is sort of a test to see what kind of response I get.
