 The car's history:  The builder of the car passed on a few years back. The car sat in a barn as an old drag car until sold to a friend of that family. The car went from one barn to the next. I found the car local to me and wanted it to live again. The car before my ownership had new panels put on. This would include quarters, doors, fenders, inner front fender wells and radiator support. The car is a pro street tubbed with monster rear Mickey Thompson Sportsmans. The paint is GM white with candy green sides- looks great in the sun. Starts like easy. 

The motor: Date code 327, 1968   It has been bored and done with aluminum heads an Edelbrock intake Holley 600. Has billet pulleys.

The rear: Ford nine inch with 10 and a half inch drums. Posi unit with gears that feel to me like 456's as my best guess.

The transmission: Automatic on the floor however has 4 speed pedals. Has a stall I would guess again around 3000- 3500.

What I do know is all the new I put in and it runs in the thousands. I have a stack of receipts less than 90 days old to prove this.

New:  Both front and rear bumpers: This includes the entire grill assembly and license plate holder and emblems.

          Weld rims front and rear with new front tires.

          Most all the front suspension and bushings. ball joints and springs. tie rods and links.

          Steering was tired so I replaced the steering box and rag joint. Nice tight steer no walk around issues.

          The brakes were tired: New master cylinder proportioning valve and rear wheel cylinders. Disc brake front, Some brake lines. Fronts are braided lines.

          The engine: I replaced the thermostat and installed an electric fan which works on start up. I installed a radiator catch can. The ignition is all new MSD. Coil cap rotor wires plugs.

          The trans:  Had a leaky gasket so new pan gasket and screen. Fresh trans fluid.

          The interior: The interior was worse for wear and had a 8 point roll cage. I'm older so the side bars were cut out immediately. I have them if your heart desires climbing a cage to get in. The rest of the cage is in.

          I replaced both door panels, arm rest and both door handles and all four window cranks. Although being tubbed the rears are for show. I replaced the carpet and installed a radio delete panel to clean up the dash. New glove box and lock. All inner wind lace, side and front and rear headliner trim. This includes the headliner and visors and rear view mirror, roll bar padding. Door sills. I also went through the inner door window cranks. Doors open close like new and windows up down smooth.  

          The car originally had tunnel ram, Since the change I bought a new firebird 400 hood and had it painted to match. The firewall was smoothed has no heater and looks really great.

          I planned to replace the windshield it has a stone chip not a crack. And a wiper scratch. I did not do this change but planned for it. So I will include new windshield stainless molding for the new owner and new clips.

         Everything I mentioned that I had changed is brand new parts no swap meet crap! Most of it from classic industries.

  This car reserve is extremely fair and would not even come close to what you see right now. It is less than my investment. I am listing the car as an on going project: This was an old drag car that I have brought back to more of a pro street.  If I finish the minor details the reserve next time will be much higher and realistic.  

          What it needs:  Seat belts, Seats bolted in,  Wiper blades, Maybe a windshield if you're picky. If you want to do any long trips a more street friendly stall converter. The car was updated with painless wiring and everything worked. Somehow I lost the tail lights? There is power already back there as that is where the battery is located and electric fuel pump. This will be easy. Paint is older but looks nice and shines great. It does have a couple bubbles coming very low behind drivers door to be expected of a barn find but nothing crazy still a great cruise night pro street. (easily) Floors are great with no issues same as the frame. The frame is tied front to rear. I believe the trans dip stick is too long so when full to the line it leaks in reverse after a couple runs it stops? However everyone who owns a small block knows they need to be driven.  I only drove the car down my street and back a couple times before all the new changes, so very little drive time since I have owned it. 

          This is a heck of a lot of car for the money and you could not do this for my reserve.   This car is so worthy of the next level. I couldn't let it lay in a barn somewhere and I hope it goes to a great home.

Paper work is in my name and current. Clear transferrable registration. This is what New York uses as titles for 1970 or older cars. I sold cars all over the world with no issues. Again, car is being listed as an on going project in as is condition.

I HAVE A 1969 DODGE CHARGER ON EBAY AS WELL, CARS CAN BE SOLD OUTSIDE EBAY AT ANY TIME UNLESS RESERVES ARE MET. DO NOT WAIT TO BID.

Good luck and happy new year.
