all the wireing,guts,engine and trans are all going.i'm going to re wire the car for just lights,juice,fan,water pump,fuel pump and what ever else i may need.

the pony rims are for sale 2 tires look brand new others are worn some 350$

the black 14s all have like brand new tires on them..i'm missing i think 2 center caps and 1 chrome beauty ring 125$ for them

the rear seat aint in bad contion..has 1 burn hole..25$ for that

trunk carpet is great and other carpet looks like it would be good if u just cleaned it 25$

the front and rear bumpers are coming off also..so if anyone need them be like 20$ for the set.

cd player is for sale 100$ with remote

once i get the engine put back together the rear,trans and engine will be for sale.

all the ac stuff is for sale and was told it worked great..i'll take 50$ for it all

I'm sure you know about this, but there is a company (seen it on ebay) selling tubular kmembers with any engine mount you want...even LSx

yeah shawn i was going to go with a tubular k mem..but right now to keep the cost down i'm just doing motor plates..i like them better anyways..

once i cage it i will do a k member with no mounts.

who makes the rear deletes..i know i will have to cover that up..if there not costly i will just buy one..but if they are i will just go to my buddys roofing company and fab an aluminum one up.

True, a rainbow sticker is sufficient in most cases.


Good luck, off to a good start!

Thumbs up

Good start, looks like a solid chassis.
How much change did you find when you pulled the carpet?
I always deduct that off the price of the car, I managed almost $13.00 one time!
Coupe i'm doing now, I got out of a impound yard, found a bag o weed in it.

LSX with those L92 heads ought to move out!
