I made the mistake of buying this car in January. Of course about 2 months later the SQ I wanted turned up for sale about 200 miles away. I'm looking to trade it for an operable SQ, prefer: Blue/yellow/white/red/black exterior Black or possibly tan interior Really want a sunroof but may consider a solid roof NO MAROON INTERIORS!!! No rust bubbles/holes/frame rot Must be a manual transmission car Must either have working AC or all parts there Clear title ready to transfer I'm over the Corvette. The main issue it has is the ZF6 manual transmission won't go easily into reverse. I replaced the hydraulics (master & slave) with new Dorman parts and that didn't fix it. The car is operable as it sits, but in reality the trans should be replaced, about a $2K job. You can usually find a used one for about $900-1,200 if you can DIY. I've got the car listed for $6,500. Similar models are going for $8-9K+, so I figure this is in the ballpark with the cost of someone else doing the trans. Looking to trade even up for a really nice SQ or my car for yours with some of your cash. This car would be a great swap candidate for an LSx and T56, but the original LT1 runs really great if the trans issue was fixed. If serious, reply here or PM me. Here are the details and some pics: 1995 White coupe Six speed manual trans (see description) About 154K miles Black interior, gray seats (see description) Clear FL title in my name Has been garage kept since January Located in the Tallahassee, FL area I bought this car in January from Ohio and had it shipped to Florida. It ran great and the PO had extensive records for it since 2003. I've put about 2K miles on it and thousands into it (see new parts below), and the more I've used it the less I've liked it. In the past few weeks it has developed a grind going into reverse. I replaced both the clutch master & slave and this did not correct the problem. Records show the entire transmission was replaced at about 77K miles. The car starts & runs great. Cold AC. Antenna, cruise all work. I've decided it's time to cut my losses and get rid of this car. Will be glad to have it shipped at buyer's expense, that's how I bought it.
