What a beatiful ride. Where did you find it? I find myself dreaming about picking up an older car, but I do get a little intimidated by possible issues if the price seems like it's too good to be true.

1999 Z28. A4. Magnaflow catback and a lid. 60k miles.
Thanks guys. It was between a convertible and a wagon, but it was easier to sell my wife on this. I'm only really a fan of the convertible if the top is down, I think they look goofy otherwise. The other hard part was finding one that isn't painted red or with a red interior. It seems like 75% of convertibles are red.
The four speed was another requirement on my list, all the daily drivers are required to be automatics in this house. Also had been looking for buckets and a console, but they weren't as important as the stick. This one came from the factory with a 352 and I think it's still there, although it's got a newer Carter carb, Edelbrock intake and a set of headers.
It's from Missouri near Arkansas and it was a definitely a roll of the dice. Not as nice as I was hoping for but it could always have been worse (or I just haven't found the worse yet). Still better than a rust belt car. I feel like I still got a fair price on it and it should be great for ice cream runs.
I also didn't realize it's 8" longer than my wife's Flex. Spent tonight switching parking plans in the garage

Excellent choice! If you find that you need the rear axle hard brake line (drum-to-drum), I have an extra new one from (formerly) Dennis Carpenter restorations. Also, a spare set of 'vert/hardtop complete doors.

Just picked this up tonight. Great leases on the new 2018 Jeep Compass.
Nice looking, a few family members are loving their new Compass. Its a huge step up from the old one, which was just a dodge caliber in jeeps clothing. <----- see how i did that?!

Nice. I've been toying around with the idea of an EFI swap for my 69 302. Any reason that you went with Holley over FITech?
