WTB Cali Top Car

[camscottbendor]

I am looking for a Cali-top 97-99. Auto or Manual is fine. Would be awesome if it's M-Tech but not required. Hopefully, someone has one they are willing to part with?

There is a cali top or two on autotrader right now.

Checked into the Cali Cars on Autotrader.

One was previously wrecked and had a swapped out speedo cluster from another car

The other in Portland (close to my home) is horribly overpriced and when the shop looked it over - they figured it hadn't seen any maintenance in 100K miles.

Oh welllllll the search continues.

I have one but I'm across the country from you . Alpine white, M-tech, cali top.

Tell me more. You can email me off the boards at: camtscott@earthlink.net

Thanks.

I'd be willing to sell mine. But, I'm in the middle of the Atlantic. Plus, it wouldn't be cheap; it's meticulously maintained. And the original owner was Ronnie Van Zant's daughter.

[camscottbendor]

Was that his daughter Tammy or Melody?

Kinda kewl, the celebrity connection - too damn bad he died so early, but sometimes that's the way it is.

[TroyAndEddie]

Melody. I agree, damn shame.

What is the price that you are looking to pay?

[camscottbendor]

I'm pretty open on price. Several I have seen recently were quite overpriced, however. I can do the mechanicals along with the interior stuff. I would rather steer clear of the paint/body stuff, for my shop is not set up for that.

Ideally, I would like to find a Cali-Top Car in Alpine White with Tan Interior. After that, I can always do the conversion to M-Tech body if absolutely necessary.

The running gear is not a real issue with me, for I plan to utilize a 2005 E46 M3 running gear setup with the SMG. Quite the project, I realize, but it's these "Monster Garage" projects that keep me going..... The last one before my most recent, was an '85 Toyota HiLux pickup with the 4.4L (540i) engine and six speed trans. A nice little sleeper that appeared bone stock (almost - very subtle upgrades/cues) that would blow the doors off anything on the road.

Most Recent project involved a 2006 X3 with full on German Police graphics and equipment, all the way down to the inth detail, including lighting/siren package and equipment inside as well (gun safe, computer, radios - the full meal deal). aka: "Polizei"
