I have maybe 30 passes on the car since completion(counted my time slips). I think I'm going to go in another direction still with buick but maybe with another car. The car is very clean, you won't be disappointed. I know I'm missing a bunch of stuff and will add and modify post when I remember to add things..I will add some more photos Car is priced to sell at $19,000 you want it cheaper I start to remove stuff.. Thanks for looking and maybe tomorrow will be different.. Adding pictures:
Frank, has Brian (Krayzie949) inquired about this car? If not I will get in line for him. He has been looking for a roller if your willing to split it up.
I would be open to $10,000 cash plus a Buick street car, ATV or etc. Or a good offer.. You get my point.
Wow Frank, I can't believe it after all the work we did on the car. Guys this car is NICE! Frank is a clean freak! You can eat off the undercarriage! You won't be disappointed. When we did the suspension & brake conversion at my shop Frank had everything polished & waxed before we put it together! Car must be seen to get the full picture.
John, Thanks for the kind words. Yeah we did do a lot to the car. Thanks Jay bird. Ok people let's sell this car now.. Let me here some offers.. The worst thing I can say is no.. I'm working on photo album so I can post some more photos.
A lot of questions about a roller package. 11k gets you.. Drop in your motor and trans in and go racing. I will leave fuel system,batteries,radiator,electrical system and drive shaft if your combo is 455/400. I hope this helps with questions. Thanks for the interest..
You probably won't find a cleaner, nicer race car for sale for the money. I am shocked you r selling it.
Ron, If you bought this car you would have hit the lotto twice in 1 day! ---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ---------- Thanks Dom.
Just for the record.. We exchanged a few PMs but I'm pretty sure He's not inline anymore.. So still for sale no lines! Step right up.. Lol
The other day I hit 3 out of 5 on the cash 5 but that was only 10 dollars. This morning it's up to 102,000 so I bought a ticket this morning and I will get one tonight. That would be a good birthday present!
11K roller I would consider delivering the roller to the buyer. If they could meet me off interstate 95 heading south. I'm planning to visit family in Florida in the next few weeks.. No big deal to pull it with me..
Willie, Yes, with some parts and labor it would make a sick pro street car. I have a clear NC title for this car and it was a flint factory GS 455.Tags still in place.. I won 1st place (modified) the first show I entered the car in.
...What parts specifically???... ...What's the compression ratio???... ...And will it run on pump gas...
Needs: factory wiring harness, steering column, wiper and motor assembly, mirrors, horn, What ever you would need for the state inspection. The rear end spool would need to be swap out for a posi unit. I would think a convertor swap unless you launch at 4500 at each stop light:laugh: The compression is 12.8:1 never ran it on pump gas. I run Sunoco blue @112 octane. You could switch to e85 I think that's closer in octane rating. Here's a quick video. Dialed 10.23 ran 10.27 [video=youtube;oZadON_4pzQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZadON_4pzQ[/video]
