Sleeper BIG BLOCK 454 1988 Chevy Caprice Classic Estate Stationwagon Extras: Big Weber Carb Edlebrock Manifold New Headers Oval Port Heads NEW! 2.5 inch Flow-Pro Exhausts w/Chrome Tips sans (meaning no) Catalytic Converter or Mufflers Larger than OEM CAM and Better Rods NEW! Monroe Cargo Van Shocks on Rear BRAND NEW POSI- Rear End w/3:42 Gears Rebuilt Turbo 400 3 Speed Tranny w/Custom Built Mild Stall 4 Brand New Tires (Less than 8 miles on them) BUY-it-NOW only $6,000.00 Don't Have the Green, But It's Like a Dream and You Want to Bid Anyway? Have Hope with No Fear Opening Bid 99 Cents with NO Reserve! Good News and Bad: Engine (I believe) is 80s Model Out of a Truck. It was Remanufactured In Springfield, MO (I was told) and Driven less than 800 miles when I acquired it and had the bigger and better cam and better stronger rods put in. Mileage on car since put together less than 100. Manual choke for cold weather starts. The tranny, too, was rebuilt. Rear-End and Gears Brand-New when installed, same as with headers and shocks and exhausts. Engine may have been bored 30,000ths over making it what about a 460 something or other. Engine compression tested and checked at 150 across the board (all cylinders). Hood crinkled but still closes and locks from weak hinge probably (before I got it). Some small chips in windshield (costs no more than $200.00 to replace new) which I would consider doing depending on selling price. Glove compartment missing lock. Battery is used but strong. Miscellaneous small dings etc around car but NO MAJOR RUST. Car is sold AS IS and may be Advertised off line as well. Shipping to Florida about $900.00 to California about $1,000.00 or Drive it anywhere....of course in California or Big Govt. Type Cities the left out Mufflers, Converters, and Noise might get you in trouble. Shipping is BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY! Gas Mileage I don't know, wasn't and still am not worried about it. I was going to pull the engine and add steel crank, better rods, and pistons, and supercharge it with intercooler and then work on the body and interior ie single headlight front clip, take off all the chrome and luggage rack and paint matte black with diamond dust and metal flake with flames on the rear quarter panels. One guy got 1800 HP out of one that's street legal and runs on 92 octane. The fluid under the car is caused by a tranny pan cork gasket leak and o-ring which will be replaced with a rubber gasket and new o-ring for purchaser ($20.00 parts 2 hrs labor no biggie, my treat). I recommend you come look at vehicle and test drive before purchasing. I tell no lies, vehicle is as described, but sale is final and vehicle is sold as is. Oh, yeah, car has a decent radio not yet installed, but radio needs speakers. Good Luck And Happy Bidding Oh yeah, and car chirps at each shift change nicely must manually shift (no clutch) from low (1st) to second to high (3rd) One request. With the set-up red beauty (yeah a little old and rough but purrs like a lion) have any guesses on HP--I'm guessing at about____?
