I purchased this car in February 2013 from the original owner, a woman in her late 50’s, with around 32,500 miles. I’ve always had a thing for FRCs, especially white ones, so when I came across this car I had to have it. The car has spent its life in Florida. I have never raced the car, and I highly doubt the original owner did either. I thoroughly enjoy this car, however my daily driver and occasional track car was wrecked last year, and on a whim I purchased an E46 M3 to replace it. Now I’m back to three vehicles with only a two car garage. I can’t bring myself to keep any of them outdoors long-term, so this one needs to go.
Car comes with two Chevrolet keys, one remote, owner’s manual, lug nut key, dealer promo video, and a portion of the dealer’s window sticker. I have receipts for the work I’ve done to the car, plus some stuff from the previous owner and a printout of the dealer service history.
Maintenance since I’ve owned the car (performed by myself unless noted):

November 2014:
Replaced clutch master cylinder with new GM 12564455

October 2014:
Replaced circuit board on windshield wiper motor

September 2014:
Changed oil and filter with Mobil1 5w-30 and Mobil1 M1-107 filter
Changed transmission fluid with AC Delco Manual Transmission Fluid
Changed rear end fluid with AC Delco Dexron LS Gear Oil
Flushed coolant with Prestone Dexcool
Flushed brakes with Valvoline DOT 3&4 Synthetic Brake Fluid
Replaced clutch fluid with Valvoline DOT 3&4 Synthetic Brake Fluid
Replaced fuel filter with Wix 33737 filter
Replaced serpentine belts with Goodyear Gatorback Poly-V Belts
Replaced Air Filter

June 2014:
Replaced AC Compressor and accumulator due to compressor leak (performed by trusted local mechanic). Air Conditioning works great.

May 2014:
Replaced Michelin run-flat tires with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo in stock sizes. Fronts tires are from another car I owned and were lightly used, rears are new. These tires were a HUGE improvement over the old run-flats. I would recommend keeping a 12v pump and tire plug kit in the car.
Current tread depths: Front – 7/32” Rear – 8.5/32”

February 2014:
Replaced battery with AC Delco Professional 78PS

The car is stock with the exception of two easily reversible modifications that I made to improve the car’s reliability and driving experience. Both of these can be easily undone to return the car to 100% original:
Compliance Parts LMC5 column lock simulator
Compliance Parts CAGS-SKIP skip-shift eliminator

The flaws are cosmetic in nature and are pictured:
Small chip in windshield
Small blemish on the shifter bezel under the hand-brake handle that appears as though it may have come from a cigarette. The car DOES NOT SMELL OF SMOKE.
The cup holder door spring broke off. It still works fine without it, so I never attempted to repair it.
Several small rock chips and scratches.
Peeling paint in the trunk lid jamb
Some scuffs on both door sills
Several blemishes on the wheels

All paint appears to be original.
The original driver’s seat had a small tear in it and I found a pair of low mileage OE seat covers so I replaced both seat back covers. I performed the sliding seat fix on the driver’s seat, however it still has about 1/8” of “rock.” I also replaced the sun visors and console lid with new parts.

My name is Kelvin. Give me a call or text at 561-316-6048. I’d be glad to speak with you about the car. I believe you can also email me through the forum. This is a fantastic car and I would love to keep it, however I am limited on space right now.
