You can arrange to look at car before auction ends. Just message me.
Pick up only please. May consider shipping if buyer makes all arrangments. Please contact before auction ends to work this out.
Tried to take good pics. First time Ive tryed to sell a car on Ebay. Any problems or at all please message..
Now for the story of how I came across the car. I bought the car from a friend. When he had it the motor was a worn out 305. He drove the car till the motor gave out and parked it. Then he fell on hard times and I bought the car because he couldnt afford to fix it.
I towed the car home and commenced to pulling out the motor. At the time I planned to build a 350 to put in it, but I managed to get the 400 thats in it now. Then I tore the 400 apart to see what I had to work with. The only stock parts thats left in it were the Crankshaft, and the Heads. The Crankshaft was in perfect condition so I decided to keep it, as were the heads. Hey im not rich, otherwise the car would be completely finished and I wouldnt be selling it!
Then I bought all the parts listed, some I may have forgotten to list, and had it built. This motor was built by me and another mechanic. When everything was installed, plastigauged, disassembled, then reassembled, the motor was then installed and was ran long enought to break the cam in as per Comp Cams instructions. Then the oil was changed and the car was taken to the exaust shop to have the aforementiond custom exaust built.
I drove the car when I had time on the weekends, then I came to the decision its time to move on and buld another car.....hmm come to think of it im a Ford man, why am I driving a hotrodded Chevy. If your a Ford guy *or gal* you would understand lol. So needless to say I'm wanting to sell this car to recoupe my budget and hopefully start on a Mustang. I'm willing to try to answer any questions you may have about the car, just message me on Ebay and I will get back to you as soon as possable. NOTE: This car is not Emissions legal. I do not recomment buying this car for a imature driver. This car is WAY to POWERFUL and chances are they would hurt themselves with it. I've already turned down some local buyers who wanted to buy this car for thier children. This car is sold as is with no warranty. The seller is not liable for any damages the product may cause or inflict. Buyer accepts all responsablity. Buyer is responsable for pickup.Car is for sale localy so I reserve the right to end auction early.
