QLD – 1990 Phoenix Red SS Manual $8000

I bought it as a one owner car that had been in storage for a fair while. I’ve got the documents to prove this.

• Anyway the car has done 183,000kms
• Has been serviced every 10,000kms (every 5,000 since 175,000)
• It’s been kept garaged and has only been driven about once a week for the last 4 months. Before that it was off the road for 2 months when the pressure plate decided it didn’t want to play ball. That item has since been replaced and I’ve had no dramas since.
• I’ve never had dramas with the gearbox.

Only other issue I’ve ever had with the SS is the ignition module went about 18 months ago. That item was replaced with a brand new unit (along with the coil as I thought that was at fault initially)

The car has never been skidded and has only been driven hard on the track.

Mods thus far have been:

• Cat Back Exhaust
• Greenfoam/Nicefrog Tune
• Lovells Lowered Springs and KYB Short Travel Shocks
• Whiteline Adjustable Panhard Rod
• 18″ HSV WH Grange Wheels (Fitted with 2 BF Goodrich Tyres and 2 Nexen Tyres. All have at least 60% tread)
• Exedy Sports Tuff Clutch, Pressure Plate and Flywheel kit
• 3.45 Diff Gears and Tightened LSD
• Decent Stereo Install (sub, speakers, amp etc.)
• 3 Gauges (Air/Fuel, Volts and Oil Pressure. Only Volts is connected)
• OTR Snorkle and High flow Airbox lid (with K&N Air Filter)
• Central Locking
• Full 3 point Immobiliser and Alarm
• HID Headlight conversion
• Letterbox Grill

I’ve also replaced a bunch of bushes in the rear end of the car.

I’ve got receipts for all work done (including original purchase and rego documents from the first owner) The only receipts I don’t have are for some of the bushes that have been replaced as my mate did it as a cash job.

I’ll chuck in a bunch of extras that I’d planned on fitting but never had the time.

• 4 Door Cards from a VN Calais
• Leather Rear Seat from a VN Calais
• 4 Power Window mechanisms and full set of switches
• 2 Colour coded power mirrors
• Top Gun 8.8mm Ignition Leads
• Velour Rear Seat from a Statesman (this thing is like a bucket seat for the back I’ve never seen another one like it)
• 5 VN SS Stock wheels and tyres
• 1 VN Calais wheel and tyre
• Full set of standard mudflaps
• Pair of VS front door speaker covers
• Spare Coil
• Spare Console from a VN Calais
• Level 3 Dash from VN Calais
• Standard VN SS Grill
• VN SS Group A Grill (unpainted)
• A Spare 235/40/18 BF Goodrich Profiler tyre (has about 70%+ tread)
• ALDL Cable (and if needed I can even provide the software to use it)

That’s everything I can think of that I have for the car but undoubtedly I’ll think of more later.

Now the car does have a few scrapes on the bumper but nothing serious (mainly just from where dickheads in carparks can’t drive) It’s nothing a bit of touch-up paint wouldn’t fix. Also the air-con doesn’t work atm. I believe it’s the heater core. I’ll more than likely have that rectified soon if I get the time.

I’ve always had big plans for this car but I’ve just decided I don’t have the means or time to undertake them. The way the car is it’s begging for a bigger cam and a bit of a tickle up in the heads.

I’m after $8,000 for it and I am FIRM on that price. I’ve seen cars with way more kms and similar mods up for more money. The car has 4 months of QLD rego on it and I will provide a Road Worthy Check for the car.

I love this car more than anything and I’ve always tried to take as best care of it that I can. Just sort of after a change and want the car to go to someone who will appreciate it.

The car made 201HP on the Predator Motorsport Dyno (that shop has since closed) before the tuned memcal went in it and it has done a best of 14.8 down the 1/4 mile (before the memcal and the diff gears)

I’m located in Coomera on the Gold Coast. I work from 9-5 mon to fri and 8-12 on sat. So inspections would have to work around those times.
