Looking for a Weekend Show Car and family fun Cruiser? This one has
been restored and enjoyed for several years. Our seller has owned
it approximately 5 years and has made improvements along the way.
He bought it from a family who had owned it in Georgia where the
restoration started and according to the Georgia title, original
mileage was only 39,713 when the restoration started and before our
seller purchased it. The seller stated that the engine was a brand
new 512 Stroker with around 2,000 miles since the rebuild and puts
out 500HP. The 440 block was professionally machined back to
perfect and every single part was new he said... aluminum heads,
crank, pistons, rods, holley carb., water pump, radiator, etc.
These parts were a package from the Company "440 Source" and is
their 512 Stroker kit. The Engine was professionally stamped near
the thermostat. The radiator has an electric fan that kicks on at
180 degrees and it has never over heated according to the seller,
he said "even on the hottest summer days". It is represented as
having the original 727- 3 speed Auto trans with a "Gear Vendors"
splitter, which makes it a 6 speed "with" overdrive, so he said it
cruises at highway and interstate speeds with ease. A Holley fuel
injection system was added. The rear end is a sure grip "Posi" 3.73
with all new internals and completely rebuilt. It has Wilwood Disc
Brakes on the front and a new master cylinder and brake lines. It
is eye catching, Candy Apple Red and it has cloth interior which
helps when the top is down and the sun is out ( the top is a power
top). It has 3" dual exhaust and creates the perfect muscle car
sound coming from that 500HP engine. The front end was rebuilt with
new bushings, shocks, etc... and has a new steering box. The rear
end has air shocks that allow you to adjust the ride to your
liking. The top (small hole noted) and boot are both in overall
good condition. It has newer wheels and tires. It also has a
Tachometer out of a 1967 GTX mounted in the console near the
shifter, it has been converted to accept electronic ignition, this
tach and rebuild was over $1,000. Stop by and have a look at this
one. A great look, a great sound, and its cruise and show
ready!
