Hey guys,
Just fishing for some opinions here: Recently bought a mystery 2003 GTX LTD with the supercharger. It lived in salt it's whole life and didn't run. Guy claimed it was the fuel pump. Well, I went and picked it up for a pretty good price, and found that INDEED it needed a fuel pump. I installed one, I cleaned out the tank, added some good fuel and it fired right up. Aside from the paint salt-peeling off the valve cover and SC, it looks perfect inside. Looks like it's never been taken apart. Runs real good and revs FAST. Only real issue is it had one of those skinny fully digital gauges. The lens cracked, and moisture got inside. I tried to split it to replace the rotten polarizer screen, but cracked the overlay sticker in the process. The cluster is shot. I'm not sure I want to spend $500 to replace it.
Once I realized that the engine and drivetrain are in good shape (even the prop and wear ring looked good), I decided I should sell it instead of use it for parts. It's got some scratches here n there, some fading, seat cover and traction mats need replacing. But otherwise, it seems like a solid ski. I was hoping to get $2k for it. With this cluster busted, what do you think it's worth without a trailer?
