104. 00 miles

Owned since Oct. 2003. with 80. 00 miles

Only put 1. 00-3. 00 miles per summer. & only in the dry (unless caught by surprise. typically averages 1. 00-2. 00 miles per year).   Climate controlled garage kept when not in use.

Only used Mobil 1 Synthetic since I've owned it. & changed every 3. 00 miles or once per year. whatever comes first (usually the calendar).

Many mods. & includes lots of spare & original part. including manuals. SVT certificate. documentation. ceiling banner. etc.   Need to bring a truck along to haul everything that goes along with it!

- All stock removed parts. plus some aftermarket parts tried. & some NOS parts purchased for future as needed.   Including buying new or used parts for those not on car or modified when I bought it. so could return to stock if desired (examples: original airbox housing was modified to create an open element filter. but actually drew in warm air from engine bay! ; cat back exhaust was modified by previous owner. so I bought original mufflers & tail pipes).

Probably much more that I can't remember.   Bring a truck to take back everything that goes with the car!

Never planned to sell car. but purchased a new one. so I can't justify keeping both.
