When you bought it, I (& @Clarkie) could finally stop thinking about it. Thanks Tom. Not in line but...
This is cool car and a great project. If I got rid of my 1972 Chevelle ss 402 project I would be all over it. out of room at the moment lol. The dog dish are the way to go on that car.
Having seen many of Tom's cars in person, rest assured that the work that has been done was done RIGHT! If I was in the market for another 70-72 Hardtop I would consider this one hard.. Right options for a lightweight screamer, right look, right color scheme, right price, right owner.. this one has got a lot going for it..
Hi Tom, Very interesting project- I'll Ping you for a few details, could be a mean street Terror with a little work! Jerry
Hi Tom I'm interested in the zero deck short block with Forged piston. What Pistons, compression,cam size,work done.let me know price and I will pay for it now and pick up later.thanks Eric.
Not in line (yet) but to clarify, there's currently no engine in the car, correct? Also, did you get the NOS EGR valve from Larry w/the car?
Everything that came with the car, goes with the car. This includes the original engine, and parts I've purchased, like master cylinder, rubber brake hoses, ram air breather parts, underhood seal plates, gaskets, inner fender repair kit, voltage regulator,etc. Plus, I paid to have a valve job done, new stainless valves, valve springs, heads milled flat,etc. Upside down, my prices are less than I have invested in the car, the price is firm. Thanks guys. Extra short block is not for sale unless someone buys the car and doesn't buy it with the car. Price will be higher separately though.....
I still can’t get this car off of my mind. The closed border doesn’t help me at all. The exchange rate is starting to move in the right direction, though.
Agree there Brad. I just don't see any other way exc. to sell my '70 to do it and even then I'm already short on space. Otherwise, it'd already be here w/me.
