Thanks much Robert!

Thanks for the comments! Yes, Nomad was a good deal but have had lots to fix and improve on it, based on it being a $200K car when the previous owner paid to have it done. I like doing some of the work to it though, as I can do that and keeps my fabrication skills in practice! Prior to getting...

@wardlws Thanks, 55 Nomad has been nice project for the past year. Not out lots of money though, I bought the car on Bring a Trailer last year, was the winning bidder. It was a "finished car", where the previous owner only had the car a year, paid a shop over $200K to build it then decided to...

@wardlws Nice you found out what the Box and controls were for and that you can control the brightness of the added Wind Screen. Sounds like it would look neat at night for sure! I stick to just "cosmetic stuff' on my XLR, as I am so afraid of taking panels off and possibly breaking clips that...

Looks like a pretty nice car for a "Salvage". Have no idea what that box could be, maybe try to trace the wires from it? Good luck, hope it works good for you. So far, my 2005 is working good, all function, don't drive it much, has 53K miles on it.

Good idea. On all my older classic cars, I usually put in remote charging posts since I hid my batteries. with all the electronics in an XLR, good to do this. I have not yet, I just keep hood unlatched and hoo0k up trickle charger when not using it. This idea would be good solution too.

Can't see half or more of the pics, and ones you can see have crap written over top of them. What is up with this "Photo Bucket" garbage?? How are us members supposed to see the pics in the posts???

Very Nice! Glad you got the car that was your grandfather's and will take care of it. These are rare cars for sure, especially the one you got now!

Not 100% sure, but Hershey Chocolate is very close to E-Town

Congrads on the purchase. Would love to see a pic of it! I am not too far from you in Mohnton, PA. Hardly see XLR's in our area.

Wow, that was quick! conrgrads!

Mickey, I will check out BaT more later. I get emails everyday as I have been a BaT member for like 5 years. I do see quite a few V's come across there, as well as Base ones. Yes, miles make a BIG difference in both, lower miles mean more $$ With my Base XLR having 53K, everything works well...

Mikey, Thanks for your info and insight. I will pass the info along about the headlights & visors I will pass this along to the person that has the used one I looked at the other week. Maybe they can fix that stuff before they sell it. I believe you are off a bit on used prices for Base vs...

Mickey, Thanks for additional information! Good to know about the visor kits. If I still had access to my Home Equity Loan at the old interest rates (like 3-5%), I would be going for a V soon, but at 8-9% now on new loan now, that is steep! The Blue one that Ghawk has for sale looks really nice...

MPRCTCL, Thanks for your reply info. Did not realize that 2006 was first year for the steerable headlamps, but makes sense now. Seems like 2006 was the start of quite a few differences in these. I did not check to see if GM even still makes the visor mirrors or assembles. Maybe same as a C6 Vette?

Yeah, I did see an ElCamino in background of your pics! I will check out the site then, looks like longer videos and i am working today. here is a pic of my buddy's 71 ElCamino, he has owned it like 40-45 years as well. Pic of my 57 & Nova attached too.

Gary, Thanks for your honest replies! I worked in Traverse City a few times, and also outside of Detroit. I have family relatives in PawPaw. If I had extra $$, I would be asking you for more info on the car! Just saw the interior on yours is the Cashmere, which is nice combo with the Blue...

MPRCTCL, Thanks for your insite. Yes, parts for all these XLR's seem to be the challenge. So far, I have not had any issues with mine, and hopefully will stay that way. I just looked at and drove a 2006 V while i am working in MD this week. Drove very nice and was not "harsher ride" than my 2005...

Gary, Thanks for your info, sounds like it has been a good one for you. Seems like there are good XLR's and troublesome XLR's based on what I have looked at and read in this forum. I have 4 vehicles myself, but always liked the V XLR's, just have to decide if I want to pursue one or not. Wife...

Gary, Color is very nice, and looks to be in very good shape and price is reasonable. What is your reason for selling? Have you had any major issues with it in the time you have owned it? Wondering if the V models are any more prone to issues vs the Base models? I am contemplating stepping up...
