I put a turbo 700 in it and got it bare metal respray in Dodge Viper Blue in 2002 and had to sell in 2004 for $7500.
The guy who bought it was going to look after it ALLEGEDLY!!!! When he bought it he cut out the rear firewall, neglected it and sold it for $13000 on Ebay.
He was going to give me first offer if he ever sold it. NOW i don't know where it is and sometimes i'd like to have it back.
That sux Agro. My brothers XD ended up pretty sad as well. He bought it new, looked after it really well, traded it in on a vk commodore in 92 in Mudgee. He saw the xd a couple of months later, dints all over it and then never saw it again. Why do people buy the best cars about and then just smash them to pieces?

My WB is one of those cars that are an "if you sell it you have to give me first offer" cars. I cant see the offer ever coming about, but I will honour it. The bloke that owned it lives in my home town, so it must suck for him to still see me driving it around 11 years after he sold it. At least I have looked after it as well as he did! Especially as he had to sell it to do house extensions.
