Gentlemen (and ladies),

This car took me 2 full years to restore and get it to it's current state. It is NOT for a novice! The last thing I want is for someone to get it and kill themselves and ruin this beautiful piece of history.

Here are the some details for you guys:

-Roof was replaced with a 69' roof found in Sebring, Florida
-New Front windsheild and Rear Glass

**Engine made 567FWHP N/A at Theengineworks.com after assembly. It was blueprinted to handle nitrous. ALOT of nitrous (250-400shot). So it'll handle 750+hp all day long. I've never had a bottle on it, but I'll leave that for the new owner**

The car only has less than 350 miles on it since finished - the engine, tranny, and rear end aren't even broken-in yet!

-Weld Prostars 15"x8" with Nitto 555R's D/R's

Front End
-QA1 1.5" drop springs with KYB shocks
-New upper and lower ball joints
-Energy Suspension polyurethane suspension rebuild kit with body mounts
-Subframe w/A-arms were removed and sandblasted and then painted semi gloss black

Interior
-Believe it or not, the interior of the car was a time capsule when I got it. The interior retains the original 1970 bench seat, door panels, headliner, dash, and rear seat. I have replaced the carpet, dashpad, package tray, restored the gauge cluster, and installed an AutoMeter Wideband o2 sensor. If you were to look at it, it's very unassuming - that is until you step on it, and it sounds like a pro-stock dragster.

Well that's about it. The car is an excellent restoration that took me over 2 years to complete. Every nut, bolt, and washer was either replaced or wire-wheeled down and painted black. This is a true sub-frame off restoration.

The bottom line is, it is a MONSTER! Even in 3rd gear going 45-50mph, you can blow the tires off the car if you floor it. The torque is outstanding and after 3500rpms, the car pulls like a freight train. If you're a speed junky and love getting attention, this is the car for. Show looks, that hooks. I basically tried to theme the car after a late 60's SoCal dragster by using the traditional racing stripes and leaving the upper window frames flat back. Out of 4 shows that I've attented, I've won 2 for "modified muscle car" class. People can't believe that I drive on the street, but it's true. It's 93oct friendly and it pulls the tires.

I'm looking to get $16,000 for it. The car was appraised in January 08' for $23,500 for insurance purposes by the Fuller & Mills Co. I'm listing it for $7500 under the market value. I just got a new project (more expensive), so I need this to move quickly to allocate the money towards the new car. This is a great opportunity for someone get a badass car, for WAY less than market value.


I know I'm forgetting something so PM me or email me if you have any questions. I made a slideshow for anyone that's interested in seeing the car. Just click on the link and it'll take you to my photobucket account.
After you're done viewing the slide show, click on the tab that says "View Album" and you'll be able to see the car during the entire restoration process. Enjoy!

whats the MPG on this? and whats 587fwhp? car seems badass.

Thanks for the kind words guys....It means a lot.

FWHP = Flywheel horsepower.... The engine was strapped onto an engine dyno after it was assembled to get the timing and fuel curve correct. Factor in about 15-18% parasitic drivetrain loss and you've got about 480 at the wheels - that's naturally aspirated too. If you put a 200 shot (which it's designed for) you've got a high 9 sec car.

MPG really depends on how your drive it. I'd say if you keep your foot out of it, probably around 10-11 mpg.

oh sweet, i see what you mean. never saw someone say flywheel hp as fwhp. thats awesome dude. you should get 16k EASY.

Thanks bud...

I think you're right, however Ebay is going to be my last resort to sell her. I've sold 2 other vehicles on there and it was a nightmare - between shipping companies and non-paying bidders, I'm a little hesitant.

Besides, I'm really weird with my project cars, and I kind of build an attachment to them while I build them. Which is probably a good thing because I don't cut corners or hack the build. I'm a firm believer that part of the excitment of purchasing a classic car is to touch, see, and smell it before you lay your money down. Just pointing a mouse and clicking takes away from the whole buying experience, in my opinion. I'd prefer the buyer take her for a ride and stretch her legs a little so they can see the value they're getting.

I really want this car to go to a good home. If it doesn't sell within the next few weeks, I think Sleezebay is the route I'm going to have to take.
