Sad. I could buy it right now, but it is COMPLETELY stripped. Custom interior removed, rear fiberglass enclosure has been spray painted black, air ride has been removed and hoses hanging in wheel wells, Giovanna 19" Kobe rims gone
. APR carbon splitter is gone, APR carbon fiber carnards are yes you guessed it gone. He is selling it for $4,200 I offered him $1,500 and only because it has sentimental value to me. 32,500 miles on it now. I think I am just going to walk away from this. I would have to invest a ton to get it to where it was and that is just not a smart move for me right now.
i say go for it man, i never knew that was your car! did it at one time have white graphics? it still would be a cool car to have.
mother of god..... not only do I remember that car, I remember seeing it in person.
Xbox to PlayStation...... so sad. but no, what he did to that car is terrible.

When did you see it in person Greg? I definitely would have know if it was when I owned it. Please man fill me in! Any history I can get on this old car of mine would be appreciated..
Sick car!!! This is what keeps me in love with j- body's. Hopefully the new owner knows of the history amd can restore to as possible.
Aslo does anyone know what kind of wheels that was on the silver car behind his car. They are split 5-spoke but can't place the brand. Those whould look great on my cav.
That car looks incredible! I'm in love with those white and green seat covers. That sucks what happened to it.
Oh and the wheels on the silver car are Konig Unknowns.
I can't believe it has nine bids... And that he has the nerve to ask that much for it.
Nine times out of ten, when someone sells a nice, well-modded car, the new owner ends up trashing it, stripping it, or flipping it for twice what they paid for it. It's best to just let it go, man.

I hate to say it but I like the way it looks now better, not counting wheels and suspension. I respect the work put into it and the sentimental value it has to all the old members here, but all that flash is oldschool.
I agree the times have definitely changed man! But did you see the rear fiberglass enclosure? It was cut up with a hacksaw from what he told me by the previous owner so he could sell the Kicker solobaric for drug money and then spray painted black.. Very sad to see it get hacked so bad was what bothereed me, not the change in the color scheme.
Ok I will say I liked your sub better, it looked cleaner. They could have done a better job there.
Not arguing with the fact that times have changed. My car has changed also! But they need to come out with another fast and furious movie advertising the body kits! And bright colors! I miss those years. IMO it was better than it is now, and people defiantly spent more money in those years. It would really make a turn around In the industry.
A cavalier still around after 8 years?
I hate to say it, you should be happy that it is still around, period. Should be in a junkyard now, considering these are throwaway cars anyways...
Either rise up to the challenge and try again, or just let it go.
If you are posting it and it really bothers you that much, maybe it's time to try again....

thank you..well put
just seems theres no creativity with anything now. Most evertything now has no creativity. More less the custom scene has died down..Granted back in the day there was alot of crap and junk out but it just seemed to be a more "fun" time period
I couldn't agree more! That is why I am designing my Sentra the way I am, I love being creative and I am able to do so on a daily basis since I started my own business
As far as the F&F is concerned, well I'll never forget how I felt after leaving the movie theater after seeing it for the 1st time. That culture, the Mi familia of it was forever instilled in me

More money? Puuuuuuuuuhlease.
For the money it takes to put on a FG body kit and a paint job I could get the machining work done on my engine and thats about it.
I think Ima go watch the OG F&F.

To be honest, people are spending just as much, if not more these days, its just on different things. The focus has shifted from show to go these days. Back in the day, it wasnt uncommon to see someone drop 10G's on bodywork, paint and interior. These days, its not uncommon to see people drop that amount, if not more into the engine.
I personally prefer the way it is now, but then again, I have never really been a show car kinda person.
Adam, I KNOW this is hard for you to see, but its not worth it. The car has been hacked to @!#$ since you owned it and it would take more than a few grand to get it back to a point that you would enjoy it again. This is one reason that Im happy I ended up parting out my car, I knew that I would never see it hacked up and destroyed by somebody else.
Pretty sure It was at a bash about 8 years ago or so. Can't really remember. Its been so long. Or maybe its because I just remember that car very well. Been here to long.
My dad ownes a body shop. We were the only shop around that would take the time to put the cheap fiberglass body kits on. Back then you could just drive around and find some cars to cruise with or drag race. Now since the movie has faded out you can't find anything like that. I can't stand the new scene. I love Adams car with the graphics! Shows personality, talent, dedication, and creativity. Most cars on this site lacks that because of the era.

I couldn't agree with you more bro! Its just not realistic for me anymore anyways.

Greg It very well could have been both. I sold in in 2005 so it might have been at the jbody bash in 2006 because the person I sold it to Barry Kisselman also live in Ohio where the bash is held..

Mike thanks so very much brother!
