The time has come to pass my Galant VR4 along to somebody else who has the heart to care for it. My focus this year is to finally do some door to door racing in the SCCA. I recently found a tow vehicle, which has replaced the GVR4 as my daily driver. The wife wants her garage space back, so "Frank" has got to go.
#1788/2000 (Nile Black, no sunroof) was purchased from Paul (4orced4door) down in FL in the fall of 2004. I flew down between that year's September hurricanes and drove it back to the Boston area. The car has spent 4.5 years in my care, and almost every system has been attended to. Every factory part that has been replaced has been OEM (from JNZ Tuning). All performance parts have come from reputable manufacturers (WhiteLine, HotBits, Brembo, Porterfield, Mitsu, etc). I used the car for HPDE events for 2 years, so I built it to be able to run hard for 25-30 minutes at a time and HANDLE VERY WELL. I focussed heavily on the suspension and reliable power. I never drag raced the car or had it on a dyno, so I can't provide any 1/4 mile or horsepower figures. I can tell you that the car never saw a hard launch during my ownership.

The interior and exterior are an 8 (by current GVR4 standards). Any rust that can be found is surface rust, and there is very little of it if you can find any. It's got some small scratches here and there, but the original paint is in very good condition. The lower cladding is grey, so the car can be described as Two-Tone. Current mileage is 142,xxx. I changed the oil with synthetic Mobil1 at least every 2500 miles, along with the oil filter. I'd also suck out the power steering reservoir each oil change and refill it with Mobil1 synthetic fluid. I can't bring myself to add up all my sales
receipts from my time with the car, but they easily total over $20K. I'd like the car to go to a good home, as I've got plenty of blood, sweat and tears into this thing over the years.

Someone will be getting a good solid car that hasn't been hacked up too badly, is pretty quick and has the capability to surprise many on a racetrack. It will cost 3x my asking price to outfit this car as it is set up right now.
