Been my son’s JR street ride for the last few years and he aged out. Rust free Skylark with lots of goodies! QP 9 inch rear, UTI Rear suspension, Select Performance built Turbo 400, with 3200 Select Performance Converer, Hotchkin front suspension and shocks, 30 over 455 with Poston Cam, was told stage 1 heads, SP1 Intake, Holly 950 carb, Hooker Super Comp Headers, etc. GS Hood, Driver quality interior, jegs wheels..Forgot to list its a Skylark Custom. AC car, but not hooked up or working. Everything is still mounted for now _$22,000 would take it. Really trying to avoid running a chevy motor in it. Recently picked up a LS1 Z28 for myself that
    my kid now wants to race, and I can’t have him faster than me, and not sure I want to gut the car for weight savings and wait years for a set of aluminum heads. Car is located in Albany NY. Can provide walk around video, etc.

    Thank You. Rethinking selling it. Planning on hitting the track next weekend to see what it will do without the ballast and trying a few things.

    I wish! It’s a mild motor. I’ll be happy if i can turn it into a 11.90-12.0 car with some upgrades

    I believe I was told its the 112. Need to go thru paperwork. My former weight race was 4800 lbs with a full tank of fuel, and myself and my Son in the car. Ballast is now out so hope to make the track next weekend to see what I can run. What does/did your car weigh?
