I always wanted a Stealth R/T TT since the first day I saw one. I was in the Navy and broke so I knew it would be a while before I could ever get one. I got out of the Navy, landed I great job (which I still have) and started looking for a Steath. This one was at Norwood Chrysler and I used to look at it often. A did some research and figured how much money the owner must have put in to it. He basically tore the page out of the magazine that's in the first post, brought it to someone and told them to copy it. I asked how much it was and to my surprise it was right about the same price as a stock R/T TT with the same mileage. Hagled a bit and bought it. I enjoyed the hell out of it for about 50,000 miles until I broke a piston. It's been sitting ever since. Yes, I still have it.
