*** Yes, the title was a typo, the price is $6000 not $600***

Hey guys,

Most of you are probably familiar with the Stuart Little project that I did over the past year. The swap's been complete for a little while now and I'm ready to move on to something else. There's a ton of info in the Stuart Little thread on the build which you all know was done meticulously. Besides all of the obvious stuff, here are some details for potential buyers:

Electric top works - it's a little slow as most are
Top was replaced and there are no leaks
Suspension is all new and everything feels solid, car probably could use an alignment
Engine is running good with no known problems
The exterior is a little on the rough side. A decent buffing job would go a long way. There are a few parts here and there where paint has flaked off.
Ehm.... that's all I can think of. Ask away.





Build thread: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=64085

$6000.

-Doc

Stock hood fits just like normal.

Depends on far you're going to take it. If you are adding 50% to 80% more power, it might be okay.

I think I remember reading somewhere that Mouse decided to keep the car, so it might not still be for sale.

EDIT: Yeah, it's definitely not for sale. Taken from The Project Stuart Little build thread:

Hey, Mouse Here,

Just so you all know, I have had the vert shipped up to Anchorage, Alaska. It was shipped out last week. The doc made the Vert awesome. I have been talking to my girl, and have since decided that the vert will be getting a new interior. I am not going to drive the vert in the winter, too much snow. so I have 8 months left to work on it. Before I can actually drop the top and hit the road:) The carpet is new, so I will remove the seats and stitch new ones myself, not seat covers. If it turns out like I want it to, I might go for the doors and console too. any ideas how they should look?
