Vehicle Detail
Up for sale is a really neat solid car that I purchased almost fully complete about a year ago. Unfortunately, the previous owner passed away right as he was finishing the car. I bought the car because even though I did not understand all the race modifications that were done, I knew, as a collector, that the body was straight with no rust and so was the undercarriage, and the car would have great potential for the asking price. The car is in running condition and I will try and describe all that has been done to the car. The engine is a 440 big block that is not from the original car. It has been fully rebuilt and has, at most, 5 miles on it. I do know that it was done professionally, at great expense. It has forged crank and pistons, a large solid cam and solid lifters, a high torque MSD starter, an Edelbrock 850 CFM carburetor, full MDS Gal emission, new aluminum racing radiator, B/M racing shifter with reverse lockout, full roll cage with racing bucket 5 point harness, 4 new BF Goodrich radial TA tires with Crager aluminum light wheels, and a Holly high volume fuel pump. I know there is a lot more but I guess the best way to describe the car is that the body is very straight, it has a few scratches, and quarter sized door dings here and there, and the interior is in very good shape. I was told that the car was converted to drag racing, though you can drive it down the street. It also has a high RPM torque convertor so it revs before it starts to roll (?). Of course if you slam on the pedal, it will snap your neck. The paint is metallic blue and is pretty good, but nothing that would win a show. I am sorry I can't do a better description of the car, but of all the antique and classic cars I have had over the years, I never has a space shuttle, so I am a little lost. Please, please feel free to come look at the car or send me an email and I will call you to answer all your questions. I am pricing this like all of my auctions to sell quickly. I hope you agree. Thanks for hearing my lousy description.
