Odometer Reading : 174,XXX kms
Location of Vehicle : Calgary
Description : I've had this car for two years but have barely driven it in that time. I used it for about two or three months before I decided to park it for the winter and then decided I didn't need to drive a car. Since then I've changed my mind and bought another car rendering this one useless to me. I wanted to sell it but couldn't find the time to fix it and it's just been sitting for over a year now. The registration ran out sept. 1 and it was towed sept. 5th. I've let this sit too long and don't have the time or motivation to fix the problems so I'm letting it go for a deal. The problems are
1 - battery drain, not sure where from but after doing some research I believe it's the ignition switch.
2 - headlights aren't working quite properly (high beams messed up). Some kind of wiring issue.
3 - Runs a bit rich, I believe this is the battery drain - when these cars don't get their full 12V or more from the battery problems start to show up. This is an intermittent problem, I think it will be fixed with a new ignition switch.

PM me, do not lowball as this is going to be a fairly cheap fix for a low km car worth much much more than the asking price.

About how much HP does it have?

No concrete numbers but it's a stage 4 with all the parts it has right now, guesstimate is around 200ish crank but I can't be sure. Torque should be in the same neighborhood if I remember correctly.
If one should so wish the motor has the supporting mods to allow for a bbm lysholm supercharger with a smaller pulley. Look it up on the following link:

***Also please note the interior is now holding racing seats (corbeau I think) and harnesses, stocks seats come with the car if you want to put those back in***
