Hello to all bidders I hope that everyone had a chance to look at the PDF file for the appraisal. It has a lot of information in there about what the vehicle has. The inspector was very thorough. The appraised value on this car came back at $78,000 and I can tell you that when the vehicle had the restoration done the purchase price of the vehicle and the paint job convertible, top engine and transmission, four-wheel disc brake upgrade, wheels and tires, etc. in total almost $80,000 was spent to get the car to this condition.

@SG – Hi. Any info/specs on the engine? Was it a new replacement or rebuild? If rebuild, any updates? Mileage, hp/torque, etc? ...
Good morning. To the best of my knowledge the engine is a rebuilt 2002 vortech LS 5.3 cast block with aluminum heads upgraded cam with around 300hp.

I’d like to arrange a time to come look at the car? Today or tomorrow works for me Rob. 805-451-8014.
Good morning to everyone! We have added the complete appraisal you can find it at the top of the listing under other documents. Mainly wanted to add it because the appraiser did a pretty thorough job of listing all of the options, add ons and condition of the Tempest. 1 day left till auction day happy bidding!
