1999 Triple-Black Convertible for Sale! 505 RWHP! REDUCED! $27,995!
This car has been babied this car since the day I bought it. I have updated so many parts on this car, it is now a super-car. Where to begin? A picture is worth a thousand words! Make me an offer! I have now reduced the price another thousand dollars!
OK, its been too long. Now I have dropped the price over $17,000! , I am only asking $27,995 for this awesome car. Serious inquiries only. I have all receipts for all parts and labor. Make me an offer!
It comes with $70,000 of upgrades!
With everything updated, I was only asking $44,999 for this awesome car. Serious inquiries only. I have all receipts for all parts and labor.
Exterior: The paint is in excellent condition. The car is kept covered in the garage most of the time. It has recently had a 40-hour detail on the paint, which included polishing, swirl-removal, and many coats of carnauba wax.
The front bumper has been shaved, having the license plate filler custom molded into the bumper. The side body molding has been removed, to leave a cleaner look.
The headlights have been updated with HID projectors, by ‘Radio Flyer’. These lights make the night turn into daytime! The low beams are setup to stay on when you turn on the high beams, for double the light. The factory fog lights have also been replaced with HID projector fog lights, with 3000K bulbs, for a yellow look.
The Tail Lights have been updated with LED Tails lights that have the Halo effect. The running lights just light the perimeter, for the Halo effect. The brake lights light up the center. These lights have been slightly tinted. The car also has sequential controls, so when the turn signal is engaged, the inner tail light comes on first, then, the outer light.
The side marker lights: have been updated with tinted LED lights.
The front turn signals: have been updated with clear LED lights with an LED strip inside them on the bottom. They use a switch-back LED bulb for amber running lights, and white turn signals. With all the LED lights, a solid-state blinker relay was installed.

This data can be displayed in a large, single, display, 4 rows of data, a running graph, a scatter graph, or even a custom display of your choosing. I have the left gauge setup to show the BOOST, the center gage shows the fuel pressure, and the right gauge shows the live air-fuel reading in a graph.

ii. No need to get back into the car to let the windows up. Put the top up and walk away. Convertible owners know all too well what this means.
iii. Don't leave the windows down just because the car is on a racing trailer. Climb out, raise the windows, secure the car.
b. Tight garages are no longer a problem. It's much easier to get into the car after lowering the windows.
c. Enhanced Accessory Power Modes
i. Have the stock radio power-up when you approach the car. Listen to music as you take the top out, access the trunk, or let the heat escape.
ii. You pull the ignition key and open the door. There's no need for the radio to stop; you're still in the car. The music resumes and stays on until you lock or unlock the doors with the remote. If you forget, the Window Valet™ will shutdown the power for you.
iii. The passenger is waiting in the car, but you need the keys to get into the house. No problem. The passenger presses a few keys on the D.I.C. and viola! accessory is now available for the radio and windows.
d. Passenger Door Lock Assist
i. Eliminate passenger frustration when dropping someone off. Have the doors unlock before they pull the handle. Set the hand brake or put the transmission in park and the doors unlock. You pick the configuration or not at all.
e. High Speed Report
i. Record the vehicle high speed as you drive. Display it on the speedometer later with a few button presses on the D.I.C.
ii. You can finally find out how fast the Valet Guy drove your car; just be sure to clear the old high speed before handing him the keys.

Wow! Car is amazing. I really only prefer manual transmissions in high-hp cars (drove a couple automatics with 500+ rwhp before and I guess I'm just used to the control of a stick because they SCARED THE K-WRAP outta me!) but this car is really nice. I may have to think about this over the weekend.
