Yeah I changed insurance, but I'm still heartbroken. I loved that car man.

I know its the same car being its and AP1 with a AP2 bumper and them wheels where on the car when you got it. The cl stated the check engine light was on due to something with the emissions. I remember the car being I think 6.500$ he lived in phoenix. Honestly the radiator support is not hard order a brand new one online there cheap and bolt it on or weld it on. I have seen people do both.
He was asking $7,500, however I bought it with $6,100 and traded a laptop. I've fixed almost everything on here except for this new cosmetic issue and a tranny problem. I'll be getting a new radiator support.
Did you get the car fixed?

Nope. I took a mallet to the latch and radiator supports, then moved the latch down, and it barely closes flush now. At least there isn't a gigantic gap now. The headlights are still out of whack. I'll take a look at it during the week and see if I can disassemble everything and figure out which parts I need to make everything flush.

Wish I had the money to buy it off of you and just fix it. I have the experience and knowledge to fix the car being me and my father built and restored 67-69 Camaro's, 67-68 Firebirds and built Wide body V8 240Z's

You where to possibly sell it how much would you want for it?

More than I bought it for since I've fixed all of the mechanical problems on the car - it's now in pristine mechanical condition. I removed nearly all of the paint imperfections as well, and put new Michelin Pilot Super Sports on there from the Discount Tire in Tempe (<200 miles on them). That alone was $770. Flushed, cleaned, and replaced all of the fluids too with OEM materials.

That said, with all the time and money I've put in, I don't think I could get back what I've put into it, which is why I'm not selling it. Did you have an offer in mind?

Well the cars front was damaged and it had issues when you bought it. I figured you may want to sell it cheaper and I could have made it a project car. You have otherwise fixed a majority of the issue's so the value is worth more and so on. So no I have no offer. I want a project car to work on. I may just go buy something else.

Every issue is fixed, less the front. If you keep your eye on Craigslist you'll probably see it up there when I get some wear out of the tires and fluids.
