    i really don’t want to sell this but... My goal was to build a “minimalistic street car” since this was a drag car... I have a ton of great parts, it needs a few more, then throw it together, street drive it, race it, should run mid 11’s, and be a great cruiser.
    *1972 Buick Skylark, California car, no rust, Has fiberglass bumpers, deck lid, and hood with Stage 2 type scoop. Disc front brakes, import bucket seats, roll cage. Has lexan windows that are junk, I have a replacement rear glass window..
    *Fresh rebuilt 462ci big block Buick. From Bobb Makley at Finishline. Pump gas friendly, edelbrock dual plane intake, 430 tall port heads with proform roller rockers, new bearings, rings, water pump, timing chain, new timing cover, adjustable oil regulator, Recurved HEI, Proform 750 carb, new TA flexplate, has a gear reduction starter and a stock one. Ran 12.20’s in 4100 lb Sun Coupe...
    *Ford 9 inch rear with 3.50 gear with Detroit locker. Needs axles. With Strange dbl adjust rear shocks, and boxed lower control arms. Drum brakes.
    *Fresh rebuilt th400 with sprag upgrade, street strip deal, still automatic but can manually be shifted.. Still at the trans shop gotta go get it..
    * 15x10 Cragar superlite rear wheels with 295 sticky street tires
    *MSD 6 ignition box & coil
    *Chrome 1 7/8 headers
    *Solid motor mounts, 8 gallon fuel cell, 2 sets of RCI 3in race harnesses, new master cylinder, new headlights and wiring, trans cooler with braided lines and trans fittings.
    Will be super fun when put together, finish my project, $7000
    I may forgotten some parts, but they’ll all go with the car. Located in Southern California, will be posting on local Craigslist.. Call for more info..Gary (858)531-2963

    I'm going to pass. This is a really good deal with all the parts that come with it. If my apollo and chassis car was sold I would take it in a heart beat. This would make a great bracket car. I will probably kick myself for passing! Fiberglass, motor, trans. Its definitely worth it.

    I know it's a "project", so many good pieces just need to be put together!!!! Here's the best I'll do, $6000, for it all, come and get it...... There's like $4000 in big block Buick 462ci, rear end, rims & tires, are worth about $1300, fresh street strip th400, that's over $700....... There is one thing we noticed when Ken was looking it over, the radiator core support is bent, looks like car was pulled by it, and some rust where the factory battery tray is located....I might pull it and try and straighten it, I've looked into used replacement core support, $100.........
