Make no Mistake This is a WICKED Hot Rod ********* LISTING ENDS - TUESDAY NOVEMBER 2ND AT 9:30 pm EAST COAST - NEW YORK TIME ******** I NEVER thought the day would come, but I am selling my personal Hot Rod I built back in 2003. I love this car like a family member, maybe even more than some family members, she has been a great Rod and I will miss her. I have taken this car to car shows all over the North East over the past years and drive it several times a week year round. The car runs great, drives great, looks wicked, draws a crowd and thumbs up everywhere, I can't even begin to imagine how many pictures have been taken of this car. It has been in multiple magazines, a lot of people know the car, mostly as the car with the wrought iron gate and always has a crowd around it at shows. Although it has a heavy chop and a big motor it is very pleasant to drive around town, in traffic or on the highway. It doesn;t leak a drop of any fluid, and I built this to be my personal Hot Rod, never expecting to sell it. The car can be very docile, you can leave the transmission in drive and just tool around town OR you can manually shift the transmission and stomp on the gas and be in for one wild ride!!! It runs 0-60 in low 4.0 seconds with tire spin, runs in the 11's in the quarter is you have the nerve to keep the pedal down the whole way with the straight axle front end, and thats with a stock S-10 rear !!! Never overheats, super reliable, great driving fun car. Yes you can see fine out the windshield, you won't even notice it after a short drive. I have driven the car in some insane rain down pours with the open carbs and the slicks and it didn't miss a beat or get sideways at all. There is no way you could build this car or even buy the parts for my asking price, the engine is at least $10,000, add in $2000 for the trans and converter, $3000 for a body, $1000 for tires and wheels, $800 for a grill shell and radiator, $1000 for front end set up, $400 for rear end set up, $700 for brake set up, $200 for fuel tank, $400 for steering box, column and wheel, $200 for a wiring harness, about $7000 for everything else stuff like the dash, gauges, head lights, tail lights, all the frame steel, braces and mounting steel, paint, windshield and glass, and I can go on and on...not to mention all the time spent over the past 7 years building her. I am sure I am leaving stuff out but here is some info on the car: Engine - Big Block Ford 460 bored to 472 cubic inches, JE Pistons, aluminum ford motor company heads, mild 530 lift hydraulic comp cam and lifters, scorpion roller rockers, vintage aluminum offenhauser dual quad intake, dual Holley 600 carbs, vintage Holley ribbed valve covers, offy breathers, custom headers, 3 inch exhaust, mini high torque starter, holley high volume oil pump, crane drop in ignition modual with adjustable rev limiter, crane coil. I would guess around 500 Hp easy and a ton of torque. It fires right up, doesn't leak a drop, and doesn't hesitate when you get on it, just a great great engine.
