Vehicle Detail
This is a great opportunity for someone to get an amazing and rare car at a very good price. This engine is not the original 400 that came with the car. Per the previous owner, a 400 from a 1971 Pontiac Catalina with 71K on it was put in it's place and has about 1000 miles on it since. As you can see from the pictures, the body (repainted a year ago) and engine are in very good condition. The interior has been updated as well but there is a crack in the dash. I have added new headers and exhaust with x-pipes and a one of kind dual muffler with straight through design for maximum exhaust flow (sounds great!). I have also put a new Edelbrock high capacity fuel pump and a Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor. There are a few things I planned to do and I will list them here in the "the bad" section. You can drive the car without these things done but I'm sure you would want to finish these items as well: The good: Customer paint job painted by an employee at Hot Rod MagazineNo rust!! Panels have been replaced or completely treatedNew windshieldFront and back seats have been recovered and new carpet has been put down (stock replacements).Brand new headers and exhaustBrand new 4 barrel carburetorBrand new fuel pump.Beautiful 18" chrome spoke wheels with Falken tires (90% tread left) This car looks bad ass! Parts that come with the car:Pontiac 6X virgin heads!160 MPH speedometer (standard speedometer for the 71)Lots of other stuff! The bad: (not really that bad!) Small crack on dash No radio in the car (easy to install)Speedometer is the wrong speedometer for that year is installed and needs to be replaced (I have the correct replacement speedometer - 160 MPH)Both passenger and driver windows roll up and down very slow, windows are also scratched which is a common problem... Bottom line its not going to take much to fix this to be a show winner. It looks great, get looks EVERYWHERE you go!!! Lastly, do not ask me to end the auction early and PLEASE don't bid if you don't have the money on you now!

Since it was painted last year, it has been driven maybe 100 miles!! On May-08-13 at 19:31:07 PDT, seller added the following information: To follow up with more questions... Floor panel has been replaced. Trunk shows no rust at all. New shocks.
