6.0L LS2 w/ 6sp. If you don't want the 6sp I'll buy that. Here's the thing. I think that the first person to show up with $4-$5k in cash buys the whole car. There's about $1000 in parts I'm willing to buy off of it.

Funny thing, last time I talked to the guy he was more like 6-8k€, not 4-5k$ ... I told him to call once he made his mind up ...
Anyway, buying it for me only made sense if I had the car repaired, not parted out ... at 4-5k$, it would make sense, even with the possible risk of more "internal" damage ... (suspension, alignment, etc.) No use in trying to put the motor in my 'vert, it would involve too many extra parts that I don't have, plus the chance of TÜV tearing me up for even trying to get the conversion past them ...

I hear you. Me thinks the first person with cash get's this headache off of his hands. Spoke with another GTO owner from Bonn this weekend. This man is of the opinion that it might even have been "ahem" a divorce issue and that the car was might have "accidently" found the wall on purpose.

/sarcasm right??
HK plates. might have let some crazy german kid soiling in there pants drive it. - but then again that would be illegal
but from his message, looks like it might have been on purpose.

Let's just say that at the very least, while I am not the most spectacular driver, there are sects within America that are even worse.

I just want the front chin spoiler and possibly the stock exhaust if the price is right.
I would pay $100 for the chin spoiler.
No one is going to buy that car for 6-8K EURO with all the repairs and TUV issues involved.

No, the rear wheel was never touched (from what I could tell), it just looks weird because the rear corner is pushed in so far (10+ inches) ... the front wheel is slightly misalligned, maybe 3-5 degrees ...

Airbags are not blown...car is in Wiesbaden...but here's the thing...I'm not giving out the guys name / number again untill someone here agrees to buy it. I can't afford (rephrase: I'm unwilling to afford) the cost of the vehicle to just purchase some GTO specific trim items...but I'm still interested in them. The Engine / Tranny are fine.

BTW I can run the tag number and get his name. I'm looking for a number to call him about the vehicle. I thought originally that was the deal, post here and see if anyone wants the car and has the cash to buy it.
