No engine/trans?

 

It has a built t400 w/ reid bell for the trans. Set up for BBB but no engine included.

 

Good luck with the sale.

I sure could use those original seats.

 

thanks. You never know....maybe the new owner would want to sell them.

 

Interior photos? Roll bar TIG welded?

 

8pt cage and bars underneath the car are Molly and Tig welded. It was certified when done to 8.50.

I will have to get pics of the interior but the package tray, door cars and dash are very nice w/o rips, tears or stains. Also the dash was repainted when the car was and the new column is color matched. All of the interior is red. Glass , trim and chrome are nice.

Jim

 

I’ll get In-line, can you post some interior, engine bay and trunk photos?

 

i will get the pics. Also the carpet and seats are out of the car and the TSP 555 is still in the engine bay until it gets ready to ship.

Jim

 

Thanks Jim

Picture of when the car was restored showing at the Texas Mini Nats.

Car has always been stored inside for the past 25+ years.

 

Good luck w the sale. Anybody that knows racing understands what you have into this car and it's far and above your asking price. Great opportunity for someone to buy a car w top shelf race parts.

 

Would you consider selling without the transmission?

 

i would consider selling without the trans.

Jim

 

Wow Jim didn't know you were going to sell it! That's one heck of a deal for anyone that is in the market! I know how much time and effort I have in mine, and I can see some very familiar pictures there!

If I wasn't knee deep into my 69, (and my 64 AphaLark) I'd jump on it!!!! Best of luck with future plans.

Steve

 

I tested without trans
