98 GT: it was a fun car!

Post by CIK7 »

It was quite the car with a 5 speed. Included most extra parts with it. I forgot to remove the 960 wheel and reinstall the factory steering wheel. *face slap*
The new owner drove away with it for $800.
The insurance company offered about $3250 and I bought it back and will get a check for $2855.xx. In the future there will be ANOTHER Cloud Reborn, but unfortunately not in the p80 community and not even a related engine (2.9L 24 valve). Instead my aim is for a 745, 765, or 945 redblock. The new owner said he already ordered the new HG kit and can buff out the fender damage. He also said he is starting right away tomorrow by tearing out the engine. His plan is to completely rebuild the engine, new clutch and trans parts. He is pretty excited!
