Why did you have to rebuild the transmission?

 

because that little gear change as you take off ,,this was before i found out it is the torque converter and all of the srt do it.

 

Ive seen this car in person. Very well kept. Cool guy too. Id say keep it but if someone buys it they will be getting a heck of a ride.

 

Cause graphite gray is the coolest color?

 

Of course it is!

 

I don't know, AMX......I've "watched" you online now for the past few years & the car you've built is darn near unique. You've got something there that probably no one else owns. Since we know that our SRT coupes probably number less than 2000 by now you also know that this vehicle stock is pretty rare.

Hold onto it: you've spent time & effort (not to mention dollars!) building something special. If you need another "project" car then go out & grab something different: get a Smart car & see what you can do , besides taking a hammer to it!

IMHO...........

 

AMX,

You have done an admirable job and posess a unique vehicle. Unless you are the type who has to "resurect" something, a little paint is better than starting over.

This is the first time in too many years that I have kept a car for almost 4 years. It was always "two and new"! But there is something about these beautiful, misunderstood little orphans that keeps me with it. I get the itch but now I just "scratch it". I have constantly changed little things (most recently the interior) and it feels always fresh. For those purists who want to keep their babies stock, I say "go for it", but I guess I am a little bit of an artist at heart and my Crossfire is MY unfinished canvas.

 

thanks kurts and srt six it is not i want a do over,, i just sold my last AMX owned it for 33 years owned a Maxima for 11 years and a camry for 10 years oh yes during that time I had a few toys , race cars oh and my 03 pt that ran 12.93 i had for 5 years, I will have a crossfire srt6 for a lot of years i think of all the toys,,(not fullblown race cars) the srt6 is the most fun , if i sold it i would buy the Gray from davesrt andd yes start over.. building this black car grows on you my first black car it is,, and with all that i have on it and planned for it ,i think i will just keep it. it is fast as hell,, 83 degrees DA 1587 i ran 12.56 @ 111.jim

 

don't you be abandoning the dark side now...but the gray one would be a hell of a buy...I wish I could buy it as well, but not right now...you stay put, you hear...

 

For some, it's all about the doing. When the project is done, gotta do another one! After all that work, I'd hang on to it, but I understand the feeling. I don't necessarily agree, but I understand
