This thing is for sale. Full disclosure, it's a bit of a basket case right now. Here's how it looked before I made the foolish idea to pull it apart:
The old floorpans have been cut out and the new ones (licensed reproductions) are waiting to go in. All the interior is disassembled.
Price? I don't know. If you think this is something you'd be interested in, send me a note. I bought the car for $3500 and have at least another $4000 in it in parts and the engine rebuild.
The good: It's got a professionally rebuilt steering column, professionally rebuilt Quadrajet, professionally rebuilt gauge cluster, refreshed TH350 transmission, new-in-box suspension, new-in-box brakes, rebuilt alternator, new gear-reduction starter motor.. it's a long list. Also new engine wiring harness, new front electrical wiring harness, new foglights, big-block alloy radiator... it's a long list.
Engine came from the factory as a low-performance 350cid small-block. I got modern Vortec heads professionally rebuilt and machined, with new rocker studs, new pushrods, new rockers, new springs. Block was cleaned up by a machine shop and an Eagle 383 stroker kit went in, it's actually 385 being slightly overbored. New Edelbrock intake, new Summit ceramic-coated headers, new COMP Cams camshaft, new fuel pump, new water pump, new engine fan, new fan clutch...
The bad: the interior has been completely disassembled in order to replace the floor pans. The bench seat needs to be refurbished. (Has a new steering wheel, new headliner, new gauges, new almost everything waiting to go in.) The floor pans are fucked, hence I was in the middle of replacing them. There's other rust, but nothing really substantial; amazingly most of it was contained in the old floor pans. The paint is pretty poor and will need redoing. The front windshield is cracked.
I literally have boxes and boxes of new parts to go in this thing.
Who wants it?
