Love this thing - stealth bomber. what's better than a turbo? two turbos!
I swear I've seen this here in this forum somewhere.

Car belonged to Jay3000

 

That car was fast and smooth. I'm tempted to make an offer to buy it back. It's a very unique car. If you think your 455 has torque, you haven't seen anything. This car would absolutely kill the 325/50 drag radials.

Also would point out that what is written in the add is true.

 

bring it back to the east coast Jay!

 

So that 350 was spanking 455's. That's so cool. Good work man

 

Anybody got sellers email ?

 

I talked with him last February.I’m surprised it hasn’t sold after all this time.

 

So it has been for sale since February?

 

Yes,I saw it on Arizona craigslist last winter.

 

If I could remember the guys name, I would post his email address.

 

Any guess why the car hasn't sold? It looks solid, and has many expensive parts..

 

I think people are scared of the unknowns.. I do know there are lots of fiberglass parts on the car. It has held up well though. Mechanically, it was a nice car however. I have lots of pics of the car, but I honestly don't know how long ago I sold it. It was pretty much just a blank slate sitting in my yard when I first started on it.

 

Thanks for replying..

The turbo's isn't legal here, so gotta find out if there's a way making it legal..

If the car has been for sale for at least 10 months already, perhaps the owner is willing to talk price..

 

Here is the guy's email

Lupe Silva <lupesilva@hotmail.com>

 

I would guess also a hard sale in the AZ market with No AC.

 

Thanks Jay..

I had thought the car was familiar when stumbling on it with random CL Buick search. Probably had seen it here first.

 

I don't use facebook, so can't see them.. Has Silva Rado built it, or just the service etc?

Wrote an email earlier today, to the email Jay provided..

 

Jay do you have a pic of the engine bay, what exhaust were you running
