I have decided to put my SSC up for sale, I purchased the car from the second owner a little over a year ago. At the time the car had been sitting in storage for around 11 years after an oil filter malfunction bled all of the oil out of the motor when it was on the highway. When I purchased the car the motor had been removed but was still sealed, I spent the next 6 months going through the entire car and having the motor professionally rebuilt. Everything was done right and no corners were cut, I had planned on keeping this car forever and I have all of the receipts for everything that's been done. The Car currently has 65,690 miles on it, I have put around 390 miles on it since the full rebuild.
The only reason that I am selling it is to free up some space and funds to purchase a Viper in the spring. Below is a list of what's been replaced or upgraded although I'm sure that I will miss a few things. To see more pictures of the car click on the flikr link under the photos below.

The car is in very good shape, all original paint and still has the laser etch lines from the factory on the sides of the car. There are no dings or dents that I have come across, the adjustable suspension still works and all of the original SSC items are present and accounted for with the exception of the radio. In the mid to late nineties the radio was stolen and replaced with a nice pioneer unit, silver lining is the thieves broke out one of the quarter windows so it was replaced and still looks brand new. The other quarter window is showing its age a bit but still looks very good.
In my eyes there are only a few things keeping this car from being mint. The front lower fascia could stand to be repainted along with the gray door moldings. The front DP5's are cracking this shouldn't be a huge shock to most people but it is something that will need to be addressed. I do have all of the center caps and they are included with the car. The tires are correct general 2000Z tires and have tons of tread but are old and hard. The ash tray door spring popped off, if I have time this will be fixed before the car is sold. The interior is in very good shape but in order to be perfect the seats and steering wheel would need some restoring/dye, but there are no rips or other defects.
Asking $17500
