    I'm picking up a new car within the next week, so my GTP has to go. It's white, 2 door, black leather interior in decent shape. It has 160k miles and I recently noticed oil in the antifreeze. The oil doesn't appear to be contaminated, but I'd say it's likely that if the LIM gaskets are bad there is some antifreeze getting into the crankcase. Oil isn't milky at all yet, though. At 160k, I had planned on just replacing the motor. The car runs and drives fine right now, trans shifts fine.

    The body of the car is in really good shape with only a few very minor dings. Clearcoat is not peeling, and the car looks really nice with a wash/wax. I tinted the tails and they look good, but are delaminating. Also have some black headlight covers. No visible rust, but the rockers are rusty underneath the car... it's a midwest car . Strut towers have a little rust, but nothing major. The car is worth fixing.

    Battery is new, as well as the rear tires. Fronts are fine. Only mod to the car is a hardware store fenderwell intake. The supercharger was replaced at some point, as it's got paint marker from the junkyard on it. Snout seal seeps a bit. I've been driving the car for a year and it's been great to me, I'm just ready for something newer. If I don't get any serious interest, I will probably part the car out to get some cash out of it. It's way too nice to junk. I'm asking $1500 or best. I'll shoot some more pics later today.

    Wish this would have came up for sale a week ago. I just bought a black one, but would have loved to have a white 2 door.

    As far as I know, it's all stock. I've been driving it for a year and have not touched the suspension.

    Can you get some pics of interioe and such stuff, maybe underneath that car as well? Any really bad rusting? If this is still around come tax return I might pick this up before intercooling

    God this is such an awesome deal... If I had 2k for any reason at all, I'd have this thing back to my place in an instant. I'd swap my engine and some other parts onto it and keep my black coupe for future racekar.

    Ricky I will try to get more pics tomorrow. To tell you the truth, though, I'm looking to unload it this weekend. Have a few CL people coming to check it out saturday, and another guy interested from chitownracing.com who's probably a member here too. As for the rust, I haven't had it up in the air but I can feel some on the rockers by reaching underneath. Doesn't seem too bad, I had planned on just patching and sealing it.
