Mighty mouse.
So, the local Toyota dealerships Parts manager is a member on the website Celicasupra.com, and he gives discounts. :)
And as it turns out there is kind of a big MKII scene around here apparently, even though I think I've only ever seen like 3.
Figure some of you can help me estimate the value as this guy isn't really budging and I think im just failing to realize that maybe it's worth this value?
8k miles, 02 Monte Carlo Dale Edition for 16,995 he wants. I offered 13k he said no. Told him that the only thing i want anyway is the car and the advertising for the plates doesn't effect me as i live in NY.
I'm thinking maybe 14.5k and he pays to have it sent over to me (They usually do online business only as well), Trying to keep my payments within 200-250 bucks as I'm not putting money down.

Basically behind the car is a bit of history. Dale Sr was obviously surpose to be alive when this car debuted, He died in a race accident the year before and only 3,333 were made (His number was 3). Internally it's a grand prix yep. It also is known for a bunch of pace car debuts, Dale Jr edition and a rerelease of Sr in 04.
I see, so it's more of a collectors item.

It is, but i believe cars are meant to be driven. You can literally nearly call this car still new. Like it was trapped in a time capsule from 2002. It's mint. I want it just because of the collection value of it, the engine inside (sleepers are the best) and well Dale was the racer i watched growing up. I just think well 16k why not just go get the challenger i nearly had with my old job just for an extra hundred bucks a month payment wise.
It's not even the LS4. What gives? :(
Ol' Dale didn't deserve a V8?
[QUOTE=bradley;37398341]It's not even the LS4. What gives? :(

Well basically there were 3 of them released in 01 all privately owned (all signed by dale himself). Dale died before the consumer production line could really be finished. The 04's have the Supercharged 3800 series, some 02's were swapped as well.
[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;37397522]if its not the 350 or some other motor dropped in, its pretty much worthless.
ok maybe not worthless but the v6 was literally awful and i guess the 305 can be decent with a lot of mods[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the advice, I'll ask the guy later today. Are the issues with the v6 quality related or performance related?
I assume from what you said the 305 issues are mostly performance related.
Oh man, mopar guys are dicks when you insult the all holy RMS K member, its like I barged in there and said god isnt real.

I made a thread, I am M0PAR (uncreative as hell) and my dad is mean green who pops in there and grills the guys.

Go to a car dedicated forum and get ready to get your ass ripped out for thinking different from them.

One guys actually tries to argue that torsion bar suspension is better than the mustang style IFS, and that inkjunkie guy, what a dumbass. Wouldn't mind seeing some of your guys making accounts on there and grilling them.
Going to leave that forum and only go there when I want to sell shit.

Just came home from watching some autocross
Two cars forgot about the whole 'autocross' deal and drifted instead

the v6 was pitiful in performance, like 120 or less hp and i wouldn't exactly trust it to be reliable either
i mean really as long as the cars taken care off, it can always be reliable but if you're getting a camaro, its gatta be damn fast. i love third gens

Very nice.
This makes me want to turbo/ supercharge my cabby.
71hp will make me cringe :(

I know Dale died when before they were shipped and all, but I was referencing that the SS got the LS4, but I guess that wasn't until 2006. Too bad, hell of an engine. 303hp/323tq. The 3800 is an ~alright~ engine but only a step above the 60 degree V6. Even the supercharged version only put out 240hp/280tq. :(
But it's way too easy to mod to get better power than that so. More modability than the Ls4 for less too.
More modable than an LS-platform engine? You're very wrong there.
Maybe for less, but it's less of an engine. The LS platform is bulletproof, there are examples of even the lowly truck blocks accepting 30+ PSI from a set of twin snails on bone stock bottom end with merely stronger head studs and a port job.
The 3800 is a normal motor. Nothing outstanding about it. It's got flaws like every other platform. But it's a large step down from any engine in the LS/Vortec range. It's not even on par with the 4.3 V6 that was based on the pre-LS small block V8.
Not saying that, but on a w-body platform, the 3800 is more mod able for way less. I'm no stupid, I know the LS is way much better, what are you taking me for?
If the 3800 came stock, well no shit. But if the LS4 came in it -- like I was implying, until I realized that 2006 was the first year of that -- then I'd be far from swapping in an inferior engine.
I know what you mean and all, this is kind of a pointless arguement I guess. Haha.
How is your swap coming, by the way? Still waiting on PCM or such?
Yeah kind of a pointless argument indeed.
And well, I'm still waiting on the PCM from Will, but apparently my set up, had a pcm very very close to a L67 one, so I can run the car with it, I just need to put the engine back in the hole and bolt / plug everything back in. Doing it with my mech when I can, since I'm away all the week and such.
I see, I see. Hopefully it works out better than your last engine.

Both for the V6
Yeah the 2.8 was garbage.
