This is an amazing build. This old "shoebox" runs and drives
amazingly and is super reliable. It's available from the builder
who has owned it for the last 22 years and is a fanatical car
guy.
It's been the benefactor of a full frame off restoration. Under the
flamed hood lies the heart of this beast - a pro built LQ9 6.0 LS
motor, with the factory Iron block, AFR heads, running 11:1
compression. The lower end is factory with stock rods and pistons.
It has a Bullet roller racing cam and bullet lifters. The engine
management is Holley Terminator X, utilizing Holley injectors,
throttle body and a PROformance intake manifold. It has ceramic
coated full length headers which flow into 3" pipes thru 3" Mac
mufflers with 3" tail pipes to the tips below the rear bumper. The
exhaust has provisions for cutouts and the electric cutouts are
included with the car - easy install. The electric "pusher" fuel
pump is quietly sitting inside the 18-gallon fuel tank.
The engine cooling is handled by an electric fan and a 4-core
griffin aluminum radiator. It has a CPP quick ratio steering box, a
Hurst line lock for the front wheels.
Forward motion is controlled by a Tremec 5 speed with overdrive, a
McLeod clutch with a hydraulic throw-out bearing. Gear selection is
courtesy of a Hurst Blackjack shifter with a custom made "devil's
tail" shifter handle which is Powder coated aluminum, truly one of
a kind and very fitting of a car with hellish flames on it.
Under the car we can find a custom drive shaft with front loop. The
drive shaft built has larger u-joints and is made with heavy gage
tubing. Putting all this force to the ground is a tried and true
9.75" Dana60, stuffed with 4.10 gears and an Eaton locker. The rear
also has a Lakewood slapper bar setup. It has Ford 11x2 drum brakes
with Strange Street / Strip axles, brakes up front are DISC. The
rear springs are relocated on the frame to accommodate 10" wheels.
The drivetrain is bullet proof. The battery is mounted in the trunk
and there's a main power Cutoff switch above rear bumper.
The front suspension consists of adjustable coil-overs, lower
tubular A arms, a front sway bar, and as stated before a front disk
brake conversion. The brakes are manual and with the fulcrum pin
moved, it's much easier to apply than your standard manual brakes
would be.
The interior is very nice, the front bucket seats are from a 65
GTO, and all the seating material is done with custom upholstery
and new seat foam. The Driver's seat is stanchioned to the floor as
the owner is very tall. You will need to adapt a slider to have the
seat move if you are shorter than say 6'6", that's pretty easy to
do with kits available everywhere. Both rear windows have
regulators, but the handles are removed. You can add them back in
if you like by simply cutting small holes in the rear side panels.
The rear windows work fine. It has had an Electric wiper motor
conversion, a big upgrade over vacuum operated wipers. It has a
tilt column and custom classic gauges. This is very cool - the
car's glove box is signed by James Taylor of TWO-LANE BLACKTOP
FAME!!
The body and paint are amazing. Most of the body's stainless trim
has been shaved off. It has no door locks, and the rear deck lid
sports a '56 Chrome "V". True to 50's custom touches, the front
grille is from 1st Gen Corvette, and man it looks AWESOME! The
front of the car's nose has had PPF applied; this greatly helps
with rock chips on these very un-aerodynamic 50's cars.
The paint, OH THAT PAINT! It is DuPont Hot Hues basecoat / clear
coat. It was applied in 2008 by Lenny Shaeffer of Chop shop customs
in Woburn, MA. The car had new rear quarter panels, a new right
fender, and door skins applied to insure the car was as straight as
we could get it.
The car has a clear title, and it's VERY dependable, fly in and
drive her home!
HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN THIS ONE OF A KIND CLASSIC!
