Vehicle sold “AS IS.”

Hello,

Up for sale is my 1996 Hellrot LS1 M3, purchased in stock form back in September of 2010. Over that winter it received a laundry list of fresh OEM parts, proper maintenance and a complete suspension overhaul with the addition of the AST 4100's. August 2011 I decided to replace the S52 with an LS1. The LS1 conversion was completed by spring of 2012. That year I was able to track the car @ Mid Ohio, PIT Race and Nelsons Ledges, other than a wheel bearing the car has never had an issues. Over last winter the transmission was refreshed and installed a Monster clutch, a mild cam along with the necessary valve springs, pushrods, timing chain and oil pump. Erik Johnson from Back Street Performance in Medina, OH dyno tuned the car and it put down 374whp & 337wtq. The car is always garaged, only driven a couple days a week during the summer months. The car is extremely reliable, leaks no fluids and gets relatively decent gas mileage. This year I have not found time to enjoy the car to its full potential and believe it’s time to pass this along and let somebody else enjoy it.

There are a couple issues:
1. Paint- I bought the car knowing it was going to need paint as someone keyed both sides of the car. My plan was to add fender flares in order to run 285’s and have the scratches fixed then.
2. Driver’s Seat – Bolster leather is worn out & seat bottom is torn. This wasn’t an issue to me as I was going to install a cage, fixed back seats and safety equipment.


Below you will find a list of modifications & replaced parts. If there is an asterisk next to the item that means the part is brand new and installed this year. Due to my busy schedule please PM me with any questions and I will get back to you.

Absolutely beautiful. Looks perfect. GLWS!!!

[jeremy5000]

That is awesome! I'm very very jealous of this car.

[EstorilB]

I'm not. Its laughable and inexcusable. Desecration at its finest.

[Julz69]

Wow

[Jman23]

GLWS miles better than a lot of these other rots

[SPIN2GST]

Appreciate the kind and not so kind words!

Updated OP to include trades.

PM's have been returned.

[Subieworx]

I corner balanced and aligned this car a couple years ago. Very very clean car that is very well sorted.

[bartenderplease]

OMFG. That looks like a VERY well sorted swap, very nice.

[redlinewins]

Very impressive.

[SPIN2GST]

I have reduced the pricing to $19,500

All PM's have been returned.

Thanks!

[SPIN2GST]

All pm's and emails have been replied to.

[Mpowered]

What would it take to get A/C running?

[SPIN2GST]

You would need an a/c compressor, bracket and belt along with custom made high/low pressure lines. Then you would have to figure out how to wire it in to turn it on and off.

Very well done car!

Curious though, why does it have a '95 nose panel and not the 96+ one ? Clean accident history ?

[luv4myE36]

96 also had the old style nose panel, it's 97+ that it was changed for

[kc jr 54]

SMH...my bad. I could have sworn it was 96 as well. My apologies.

Wish i could pick this car up, its looks as though it was done very well.

[Slashms3]

I'm local and everyone's been talking about this car. Everyone's seen it on Craigslist. No one has any money though haha.

[D1ESEL]

Would you be interested in a trade for a nice tow rig?

[SPIN2GST]

Fall Special Pricing- $17,500

Pick it up now and take it to the track before winter comes!

I have received a ton of intrest and a bunch of trade offers but this car has yet to find its new owner.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, it will defenitley be hard to let her go but I dont have the room or the time to enjoy it.

No thanks, looking for something halfway sporty.

[Notsafe335]

Well done swap, I can vouch for the car. Saw it last year at a cruise I put on and it's all there.

GLWS
