The Reaper

I bought this car 2 years ago and it needed quite a bit of work. From the motor to the suspension this car has been completely reborn and into what I think it was intended to do in the first place. Everything on this car has been reworked. The motor has been bored, bottom end gutted and lightened for fast rotation and quicker RPM. The suspension was all custom made with KONI race and HyperCO springs. The transmission was outfitted with a True LSD. This car is really a beast. I had a ton of fun working on it and making it what I think was a pretty neat car. The outside of the car was kept pretty original from back in the day. I would like to sell this to a forum member just to keep it living on for years to come.

I will be sad to see it go but looking forward to another project soon to come.

Definitely an awesome car, wish I was in a position to make a fair offer on it!

This is a sad day! This thing is awesome! Hope the next owner puts it through its paces and takes good care of it.

i hope some high school girl gets it and drive it into the ground MARCUS!

how dare you sell this thing! hahaha it does suck but i know the business needs fresh meat. cant keep projects once they are done.



M45/OS crank/2.4 snout. It's nice to be injected but I love being blown!

Exactly guys. I am sure it will go to a good home. Right now it looks like it will be a while before I even come close to selling it. You never know, I might just hold onto it if I cant get the price I want. This was 2 years in the making and I am sure to not just dump it. If anything Ill give it to a family member.

Id love to buy it, but it is way out of my price range

Price?

15k. Parts alone are close to 20k not including orignal price of car.

Not that I doubt your values at all, but you won't sell it for that nor near that and I'm not being rude, but that's just a sad fact.

So in short I'd count on keeping it .

If I able, I would buy it.

Sure many would, but truthfully people with 15k to splurge for a spare fun car aren't typically Cav shopping!

Agreed.

I thought the same thing with my Lumina Z34. There is a buyer for every product, just a matter of finding that person. I am in no rush to sell it.

Why are you selling exactly? Did ya'll ever get the tune dialed in?


GMR has got nothing on this

I want to see this car fully tested, it has yet to be really run through the paces and see what it can really do.

Would like to move on to another platform.

Mee too. Just right now I would like to see it go to a good home and be taken care of. I dont have much time these days to pull engines out and be working on it all the time. With a car like these you have to have plenty of time to tinker with it.

Ugh... another one bites the dust and won't reach it's full potential.

This happens far too often in the J-body community - an awesome car (in this case unbelievably amazing car) gets built and is full of potential that this platform has almost never seen before and the project grinds to a dead halt when it comes time to tune/finalize the vehicle and see what it can do.

I don't mean any offense at all Mark... it's just heartbreaking to see this car come SO CLOSE to being what it can be.... and now there is a high chance it won't. I really wanted to see it tuned to within a hair of its limits and then tracked to all hell showing what the suspension you designed can do as well as the heavily modified engine.

I'm not one to talk - in fact I'm the last one to talk about that kind of thing - but with that said it just makes me sad. I was so looking forward to seeing the results of re-engineering a J-body into something it clearly was never meant to be.
