    Price may not be out of line, but I think you need to edit your ad. Also may want to place other ads - don't just rely on one venue.

    I see the following problems:
    - No model year mentioned
    - No interior pics
    - No engine compartment pics
    - No vehicle history mentioned

    You need to post up a lot more pics. Maybe Kijiji can't offer that IDK.....

    I would note who did the work and maybe the cost of what you have put into it. That might justify the price.

    I see some hurdles in that it is not original and the customization is a per person taste thing. Not that it is bad, but you narrow your audience by doing so and now you need to find a specific buyer. The color really rules out a good bunch of them.

    I think it is slightly high for what it is and with those miles. I would mention that you are open to negotiate (if you are) with any buyer who is serious about the car.

    In any case, I wish you luck with the sale.

    The mileage is what's killing it.

    Nothing personal, but the color is most likely keeping many potential buyers away. Sure, it's cool and different, and may be a top quality paint job. But it will take a select few that will want a purple vehicle. Just my opinion, for what it's worth...

    You have gotten some realistic feedback here. I am not sure that I can add much that hasn't been said but will add a vote for MORE pictures, more history and MORE pictures. The paint is going to significantly limit your market. I sold a clean clean clean 95 In 2011 with about the same "Low mileage" for under $4000. Hey! You said "love to hear some feedback"!

    only 118000miles :)
    I used to trade at around 50,000 to 60,000. Now low mileage seems to be around 200,000. Of course antique means 10 years old and barn find is a car that sits close to any structure. :rofl2:
    I agree more pictures and better description.:camera:

    You are right in my neigbourhood and I am looking for a LT1 wagon but.....the rebuilt tranny makes me pause and well, yes, the color. No interior pics. For the price you are asking there aren't enough mods done.

    I will keep my eye on it though,I live just north of you. You changed the wording in your ad as well I noticed.

    Everyone has pretty much summed it up, Relax. I would have mentioned all that has been mentioned. Good luck.
