    Default Rick Crawford-built SC'd 2014 SS RH2 - $20K in mods!

    Well folks, it's bitter sweet that I make this post, but it's time to move on...

    The car is a 2014 Chevy SS w/ ~27K miles on the odometer. I am the original owner. Purchased from Jim McKay Chevrolet in Fairfax, VA on 06/10/2014 for $50,0150.64 out the door. Sticker price was $46,670.00. All original documents retained (including window sticker). Car is up to date on all factory recalls. This has been my daily driver since I've purchased it. Went to the drag strip three times. Been on a dyno once. Adult owned - non smoker. Car just passed VA safety inspection in April 2018.

    VIN: 6G3F15RW3EL953905

    Makes for a great daily driver, has all of the creature comforts, and hauls ass when you need it to!

    New set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+ Tires (245/40ZR-19 and 285/35ZR-19) have approximately 3K miles on them.

    All modifications and tuning were performed by one of the country's best/most reputable builder/tuners - Rick Crawford. Yes, I drove down to North Carolina from Northern VA on three separate occasions for Rick to do his thing. He did all of the work except for the OE Holden cosmetic stuff, which was installed at the Jim McKay Chevrolet body shop. Total cost of all mods including labor is roughly $20,000.

    Car made 671WHP on P-Tuning's "heartbreaker," and Rick has drove the car to a best of 10.03 @ 140MPH (with slicks). High 9 second capable. Pass was made on a 50/50 mix of E85 and 93 pump gas. Rick told me car makes around 12.5psi of boost.

    Asking $42,500!!!

    Call or text me to come check it out: 703-229-3196. I'm located in Northern, VA.

    Civic Type R. My first car ~20 years ago was a Honda CRX Si. Feeling terribly nostalgic. The SS is a damn awesome car, but hey, you only live once! I have a bad habit of selling every 2 to 3 years (and losing lots of money along the way, hahaha).
