My car looks exactly like this:
Except my paint *sucks* and the tail lights and corners are all black. The clearcoat is chipping off the roof and it looks like somebody waxed it with sand. So I'm going to attempt body work for the first time haha.

First semi-hot day. Hit 32 degrees I think... IAT2's soaring to 160 without doing anything. I assume that's why half this forum bailed on the LSJ for the LNF.

I'll be at the stealership first thing tomorrow to see if I can get squeezed in for an alignment too...
so much for them trying to screw me outta $600 for a single strut...
and I'm finally on my way to making the purchase of the White SS having been worthwhile...
but I gotta say one thing;
iirc Natha drove that car for about as long as I now have driven mine... and man oh man does the difference show in how you maintain it with keeping it clean...
that strut looked to be a good five years old!

nope - was just kicking up dust... besides if I did to would have been CHEAP...
I talked with the the white car's former owner about a week ago after looking into a $3,200 2005 SS/SC with a lein... and long story short, I'm not planing on fixing it anymore;
but that doesn't mean I'm in a mad rush to do anything with it - I like stuff to stay rather complete (it's eaiser to deal with that way)...
I'll probably just seal it up and kicjk it in my back yard later this summer... after getting my parking pad paved.
Were I in your shoes, I'd just leave the car - nothing you do is going to make the car move any quicker;
If I were to take a suggestion out of my brothers book of selling cars - I'd suggest you make a listing, and give as little information as possible;
say something like:
then let it ride.
I've been told that giving too much information in your situation will make a prospective buyer less inclined to call or come look at the car;
if you give less info, but lots of pictures, odds are you will field more calls and or visitors.
Just trying to help.

aftermarket wheels & recently rebuilt engine, you won't find a nicer car, or better deal anywhere around Calgary
