Vehicle description
Here we go. Selling Snowball, my first car. I purchased it about 11 years ago in stock condition and enjoyed it it was for that time. But then, about 6 years ago, I decided it needed more power – and that is where it got its name (and it used to be white). Well, that turned into over 1500 hours of my time and more money than I care to admit. Ultimately though, it became the beauty you see here. It has been completed for a year, and in that time I have put about 10k miles on it. In fact, I drove it from Tucson to Detroit and back for my final semester, where it performed flawlessly, as intended of course. Every summer, when I returned from school, I worked on it for what seemed like an eternity. The major technical work was done by my father (a Master Technician as of 35 years) where as I (Vehicle Designer/Military Mechanic/Enthusiast) did just about everything else.
Although the idea started with more power, there is a whole lot more that became of it. It needed to be 100% reliable; well sorted for daily driving, summer traffic and long road trips; get good fuel economy (29mpg at 70mph); be relatively quiet and comfortable (but not too much); capable of occasional track use (have yet to actually do); secure; inside and out it needed to be nice enough for car shows; and above all else, it needed to be enjoyable. I wanted to keep the original balance, just bring it up a notch in its entirety while also fixing all the bad this era of cars are known for. Everything has been labored over so that it all matches, nothing is under or overbuilt for its purpose. I built this car for me. As such, there are so many details here you will not find in a flip. This build is complete top to bottom, it does not need anything. Most of the car is not original anymore and all the stuff that was done, was done so correctly with new, quality, brand name parts. It has been well taken care of and should provide you years of joy. I went through and made this car as great as I could. Planned on keeping it forever, but with the student loan interest suspension in effect, it is a really good time to pay those off – so that is why you see it before you.
Not a lot of these thirdgen cars are getting love these days, here is your opportunity to own a one of a kind labor of love.
The pictures should explain enough, but if you have more questions, I am an open book. I can work with buyers across the country.
