I HAVE OWNED A FAIR NUMBER OF MUSCLE CARS AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE FUNNEST STOP LIGHT TO STOP LIGHT CAR I'VE DRIVEN, PROBABLY THE CLOSE RATIO BORGEWARNER 4 SPEED TRANS AND MIGHT BE THE POWERFUL 406 SMALL BLOCK, BUT ANYWAYS IT REALLY GETS IT ON AND DRAWS A LOT OF ATTENTION DOIN IT. THE FRAME WAS PULLED FROM THE CAR AND ALL NEW MOUNTING BUSHINGS WERE INSTALLED, THE FRONT END IS ALSO REBUILT , BALL JOINTS, IDLER, TIE RODS, DRAG LINK, BUSHINGS, SHOCKS, ETC, REAR END WAS DONE AS WELL, ITS A LIMITED SLIP 373 GEAR, NEW BUSHINGS AS WELL BRAKES ARE THE LARGER SHOE/DRUM COMBO WITH ALL NEW HARDWARE AND WHEEL CYLENDERS AND DRUMS. I LEFT THEM DRUM AS IT STOPS REALLY WELL, BETTER THAN YOU WOULD THINK...... THE MOTOR IS A BALANCED SMALL BLOCK 400 BORED 60 WITH KIETH BLACK FLAT TOPS, 72 CC.. HEADS(MAKES 9 ¾ TO 1), 280 COMP CAM, MATCHED SPRINGS, VICTOR JR INTAKE, 750 CARB, HAS A LOT OF TORQUE AND UNBELIEVABLE MID AND TOP END,(PULLS SUPER HARD)DRIVE TRAIN HAS AROUND 10K ON IT..NO LEAKS, NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER, 60 PSI OIL PRESSURE ALL THE TIME, NO HEATING ISSUES, HAS H.E.I IGNITION SYSTEM.... TRANS WAS REBUILT SAME TIME MOTOR WAS DONE,, NEW BALANCED CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND FLYWHEEL ALSO, LINKAGE IS TIGHT AND SHIFTS SUPER NICE... THE COOLING SYSTEM IS A NEW 3 ROW SUPER DUTY ALUMINUM RADIATOR THROUGH A HIGH FLOW WATER PUMP, HAS A 180 THERMOSTAT AND THIS CHEVY RUNS RIGHT AT 190 IN EXTREAM HEAT.. THE INTERIOR WAS ALL REDONE WITH NEW SOUND DEADNER, CARPET, HEADLINER, DOOR PANELS, UPHOLSTERY IS SPICE PLEATHER, SEATS WERE RE FOAMED WHERE NEEDED SO THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE... ALL THE DASH, GAUGE,TURN, RUN, SIGNAL,BRAKE COURTESY LIGHTS WORK AS THEY SHUOLD, TACH WORKS, ABOUT THE ONLY THING THATS INOP IS THE SPEEDO. THE GLASS IS AMAZING , THE CHROME AND TRIM ARE IN FANTASTIC SHAPE AS WELL MAYBE NOT NUMBER 1 SHOW QUALITY BUT MUCH BETTER THAN DRIVER... THE BODY AND FLOOR/TRUNK ARE SOLID, THE FLOOR PANS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BODY IS SUPER STRAIGHT , PAINT GETS A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS, THE TRUNK IS FINISHED OFF LIKE THE INTERIOR AS WELL..... THE EXHAUST IS HEADERS THROUGH 2 ½ INCH MANDRELL BENT PIPES WITH SUPER 44 FLOWMASTERS... THIS CAR RUNS FANTASTIC AND IS VERY FUN TO DRIVE, IN MY OPINION THIS CAR IS DEPENDABLE ENOUGH TO DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY... THIS CAR SAT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS BEFORE COMPLETING THE RESTORE SO YOU WILL SEE COB WEBS AND DIRTY UNDERSIDE, I THINK IT SHOULD CLEAN BACK UP NICELY On Jan-08-11 at 13:42:34 PST, seller added the following information: I DO HAVE THE FACTORY STEERING WHEEL AND HORN RING, RADIATOR ,SOME OTHER SMALL THINGS PLEASE IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 2 BID HISTORY CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU BID, I UNDERSTAND WE ALL START SOMEWHERE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOU ARE SERIOUS AND WILL FOLLOW THROUGH WITH YOUR TRANSACTION THANK YOU
