This vehicle is being relisted due to a non paying bidder. Please dont bid unless you intend to buy. Id like to take this oppourtunity to answer a few questions I recieved alot during the last listing. First, this is a running driving car. I would not hesitate to drive it ANYWHERE and I have already put almost 400 miles on it since completing it. I will also add a in car video of me driving it around. Second, for some reason the mileage comes up oddly in the title check because someone in Alabama recorded it past mechanical limits mistakenly. The years before and after all show actual mileage. When I pulled it off the road it had 98k original miles. Third, I got some requests for more pictures of the car during the build etc. so I will post a link to my photobucket account so you can see alot more of the progress and highlights of the build. Last is the climate controls or lack of them in this car. I did remove the factory air since I planned to add a "hot rod air" underdash kit at a later date. Provisions for ac and heat are under the dash so it can be added with minimal modification or the factory style climate control can be reinstalled into the car if the block off plate is removed. All of the wiring is there also. Feel free to contact me via ebay or my cell phone 813 743 865nine. My name is Chris. Below is the original ad with the added info mentioned above. This vehicle has been a project of mine for the last 5 years. Over $19,000 has been invested in parts alone with full reciepts and documentation. All work with exception of paint and bodywork was performed by me, an ASE certified mechanic of 15 years. I will list a brief description of the car here with full spec list and mods below. I built this car to do everything well. All parts used are top notch quality and no expense was spared. The car sports a 520hp 6.0 liter Gen III small block chevy. It is essentially an LS2 engine built within an iron LQ9 truck block. The engine is mated to a upgraded t-56 six speed manual transmission and power is channeled into a modified 8.8 Ford rear end with 3.73 gears and posi traction carrier. Four wheel disc brakes stop the car quickly and use common over the counter parts. The frame and suspension of the car have been modified considerably with performance and comfort in mind. Also note: EVERYTHING on the car is either new or refurbished. You are basically buying a new car with roughly 370 miles on the clock. The mileage at the time the car was taken off the road was 99,357 Over the course of the 370 break in miles all kinks and whatnot have been worked out and the car is ready to drive. I had recently added a cowl hood to the car but have not painted it partly because I wasnt sure what color to use. It is currently black and seems to add a nice contrast to the car despite the paint being somewhat faded. Now the paint decision will be up to the new owner. I have extra paint that will be included with the car in case it is needed. I also recently made a new shift bezel that will be included with the car that is not shown in the pictures. Some may be wondering about my reasons for selling a vehicle that I have worked on for five years and only recently finished. I know I would. My son was diagnosed with autism earlier this year and finding things we can enjoy together is difficult. He does however enjoy offroading with me and since that is my other hobby I plan to pursue that more fully. As a result, I dont want something that I have put so much time and effort into to be neglected when it could be enjoyed by someone else.
