This car was in a side impact accident straight at the passenger side door/quarter panel. The passenger side door, door trim, and skin are completely no-good. Everything else still works a-ok, so if you need any door-specific parts like the switches, etc, then that is good to go. The whole car has 81,591 miles on it, and it WAS a really damn good car until it got hit. The part that isn't smashed is still awesome. As of right now, I have sold exactly nothing from the car, so if you need it, I have it.

The wheels are chrome Bullits, in Mark VIII/Thunderbird bolt pattern. 18 x 9. The front tires are Dunlop SP9000's 255/45/18 with about 30 miles on them. The rear tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 255/45/18 that came from my Charger and those tires had 5400 miles on them when I put them on these wheels. The wheels themselves also have only 30 miles on them. Car got hit literally the second time out after installing them. No damage or scrapes at all. They all roll true.

Also, the car has the following performance mods, installed:

GMS 4v coils - $200
LMS MAF/Icebox kit - $180

Parts I never installed:

Meziere Electric Water pump/ built in idler pulley and relay/wiring harness - $250
3.73 Trac Lok rear pumpkin - $280

I cannot afford proper storage for my car, and it has to go to salvage by this Friday before my development gives me the last straw. Reasonable offers are accepted.

Send me a PM for anything.

how much for the wheels and tires, if reasonable, i got dibs lol

also might be interested in the gears and tlock

Price lowered on the wheels/tires to $800 shipped in the lower 48. I will be home for the day getting everything I have sold already pulled. So if you have any other questions, let me know.

Hardgear-
Do you have the following?

woodgrain radio surround
all 4 floor mats in good shape
heated seat controls
rubber ignition key trim piece
dashboard windshield header panel
cupholder/center console
airbags?
HID bulbs?

You can email me if you'd like, at richmondjr@cvn65.navy.mil
I think that's just about everything that I could want off of it. I have the same car (98 black/black LSC). It's my second--my original one (same color combo) was t-boned on the driver's side, so I know how you feel....it was in perfect shape.

please let me know anything you have.
Thanks,

Sorry, I just noticed that you said to send you a PM about anything.

I'll send you a PM.

I sent you a PM about the rear pumpkin this morning....

That I have to get a pic of tonight. Was waiting.

I need the interior door handles and bezels on both sides, I also need the lenses on the corner of the door panel for both.

How much for all that?

Hardgear, would you mind telling me the condition of each of those pieces I asked about?

Thanks very much,
J. Richmond

Alright, managed to get some pics today. Sorry, they are cell phone pics, so they are kinda crummy, but it is enough to tell the condition here. The wheels are dirty from sitting, and I don't have an outside water supply to wash them off. But you can see that the chrome is indeed good, and free of any damage.

I would say everything is 8.5/10. Obviously it doesn't look like it came straight out of a box, but there are no stains, scratches, damage, flaws, or anything like that. Car was well taken care of.

I tried to get some pics, but it is too dark for my cell cam. :(

Pump Sold.

Nevermind. Coils and pump are SOLD!

OK, better pics:

Has anyone heard from this guy? I sent him money for the 3:73's and he wont answer my emails about a shipping tracking number.

We were PM'ing back and forth for awhile, but I haven't heard from him in about a week. Truthfully, I started getting kinda suspicious of him. He sounded very much like the guy on here named mumumonster. They both wanted me to send them a money order, they were both named Mike, they both live in New York, and neither of them would send me pictures, or talk to me through email, no matter how many times I asked. They may just be coincidences, but this guy's acting just like mumumonster did.
I guess we'll see. I really hope you get your gears. Good Luck!!

I was going to send money but I have not heard from him so I went somewhere else.

Not good.

Funny, guess that's why he stopped responding after I asked to pick the stuff up in person. He claimed to be like 20 minutes from me.

Wow that sux. $350 out the window.

That's interesting:

To the attn. of all:

Based on information received from other board members here as well as information gathered elsewhere on the internet, I have found that "HardGear" is in fact a Michael Anthony Aviles, who is a well-known scammer on several other messageboards all across the internet. I cannot divulge all information at this time, as I believe it would violate the terms of use. Anyway, here are some of the posts I have found that prove my findings:

So, suffice it to say that Michael Anthony Aviles is indeed a scammer who should not be trusted under ANY circumstances. I am currently working with the Postal Inspection Service to aid in their currently open investigation of Mr. Aviles and have every intention of doing everything in my power to put this man where he belongs: in jail.

I will be posting a more thorough documentation of my dealings with Mr. Aviles in the vendor feedback conference wherein I will include every last bit of personal information I have about him.

This is the address to which I sent the money order, which he claimed to be his "work address":
Michael Anthony
244 5th Ave #M287
New York, NY 10001

More information will be available when I have time to write a full account. Please be sure to look for this soon.

Driller: I have sent you a PM regarding information requested by the Postal Inspector.

I would be interested in the window/door lock switches or button covers.
