Unfortunately, I have to sacrifice this project to finance my shop building project, so here's a chance to get a great deal on a nearly finished hot rod.
What it has:
Relatively solid and straight coupe body with stock frame with new back half and MII front suspension. There is some minor rust in a few places like the panel below the trunk and the front edge of the hood and at the back window (see pix)
Feresh 496" big block Chevy..approx. 13:1 compression with stock open chamber heads and Comp Cams 292H cam, polished Torker intake, fender well headers, etc.
Turbo 400..fresh and race prepped but streetable with high stall convertor (can't remember the stall speed but I think it is 3500.)
Ford 9" narrowed with 4.56 (I think, it's been a while) gears and ladder bar suspension and coil overs and brand new Strange Engineering brake assemblies.
New driveshaft.
Near new wheels and tires..M/T 33x18.5x15 rear on 16" wide rims, skinny M/T's up front..billet wheels
Full roll cage minus door and dash bars, professionally welded.
All aluminum sheet metal interior with roll bar mounted control panel.
Wilwood dual master cylinder and pedal assembley and throttle pedal..all brand new.
Bolt in Mustang II front suspension system with new disc brakes..could easily be removed and replaced with straight axle for old school gasser style.
What it needs:
Cooling system..radiator, water pump, cooling fan
Fuel system mounted and plumbed.....comes with Holley blue pump and filter. Also have starter and alternator.
Brakes plumbed.
All glass or plexiglass. Stock glass will still fit.
Door latches.. I have some cable operated latches from late Ford/Mercury I was going to use which I will throw in.
It only has the upper grill bar from a 52 which is stripped down to the copper plating and bare metal, so you might want to add the correct grill..I like the way it looks if it had a Moon tank mounted there. I can also throw in a complete 51 grill for the asking price.
Wired..and tail lights.
There's probably more that I can't think of at the moment...if you have questions, ask, and I will get them answered as quickly as I can.
This is a "project" so there is still work to be done, but as you can see, it is realtively minimal. All the hard stuff has been done already.
I would consider a trade for a 55 Chevy.
