Judging by your previous post about building the old patrol car into a race car, am I correct in assuming you are near Houston? Do you have any ballpark of offers you will entertain? Location and at least some semblance of what you are looking for will make a world of difference. Also guessing this car still has AFM active which at that mileage is quite surprising considering how many people complain about the failure rate.

Yes, I live south of Houston in Santa Fe, Texas and work in Galveston. Yes, this car still has AFM and is bone stock right down to the plastic wheel covers which I rattle can painted graphite gray. (they need touch up) As for price, I'm entertaining offers. I saw several sold on the Iron planet website recently with 150,000 miles that sold for 6 grand, and they were pretty beat up patrol cars with no back seats and police sticker lettering on them.
I just spent 8 grand on engine parts for the race car, and anything I get from the sale of this one will go towards that. I really don't know what it's worth, so that's why I posted it here. Someone will get a good deal on it.
Here's what's happening with the race car:

The race car is part of "Beat the Heat" Intl, a 501-c-3 non profit that teaches kids the dangers of street racing, texting and driving, distracted driving and such. We take the cars to schools and events and yes we even take them to the track. I plan on updating the race car thread very soon as engine work is under way.

I know it's part of the image, but remove that cow-catcher from the front of the race car and you "might" gain a few tenths of a second. I'd think that it disrupts the even air flow over the nose and creates resistance... if you're really trying for times of course, lol! Of course you could compensate with a little nitrous shot... heh.... Now THAT would get someone's attention!

Yes sir, the cow catcher is coming off. The prisoner cage is being removed also. It has been quite a conversation piece with the dummy in the back seat. But yes, the Hurricane is going on a strict diet. I'm also considering a small shot of Nitrous.

The trunk lid is a tribute to the murdered victims of the Santa Fe, Texas school shooting. My daughter was a student there at that time.
