Helping out a friend and customer of mine that needs to turn his toy into cash. I haven't seen / ridden in the car myself, so please contact this guy or have someone go look at the car....but from what I know of him, he's a stand-up guy you can have confidence in dealing with. Don't contact me about the car as this is all the info I have. His number and email are at the bottom of the ad. Hope I help someone out and they get a NICE notch!

OK, here goes.

The engine is a 351w stroked to 396. Vic jr. alum heads professionally ported by Duane Busch in North Carolina. He got incredible flow #'s.
Alum. roller rockers (don't remember the brand. Crane maybe?)
Cam is a custom ground cam from Cammotion. (Solid lifter cam)
Carb is a custom carb from ProSystems. 980 cfm.
Custom Ross pistons with 11.8:1 compression (race gas only)
Port matched Victor Sr intake.
Stroker kit is from Probe. H-beam rods, steel crank, etc.
Stud girdle form Probe.
6AL ignition from MSD with a rev limiter.
Line lock.
Ceramic coated Hooker headers.
C4 auto trans w/manual valve body, reverse pattern.
Kevlar bands.
9" Art Carr converter.
It dyno'd 5 yrs ago at 550 hp/550 tq. It's broken in now so probably 10-15 hp more. This motor has less than 3,000 miles on it.

Now on to the "other" stuff.

Manual steering rack and manual brakes (cam is too big for hyd brakes. You won't notice the difference).
Tubular K member from Anthony Jones Engineering (AJE)
Coil over conversion kit from AJE.
Adjustable shocks and struts for better launches.
Adjustable control arms.
8.8 rear with Ford Racing 373 gears.
Ford Racing rear end girdle.
Moser engineering 31 spline axles w/C-clip eliminator kit.
Wild Rides roll cage. (10 pt?)
5 point harness.
26" ET street on matching Centerline wheels for the track. Nitto DR for street.

This combo has run a best of 11.10 @ 125 mph. With a different converter it will easily be in the high 10's.
My 60' times stink that's why a "looser" converter would help a lot. Something that stalls a little higher.

I drive this car all over. It starts and runs great. Make no mistake, it's a race car first-street car second. I would not
want to idle in 90 degree heat, or sit in a traffic jam.
But for fun cruises or the occasional race, it's an absolute riot!

Pluses and minuses.
Well, it looks great. Great paint, "different" color. The paint does have a couple barely noticeable blemishes where the
paint "shrunk" and at the right angle you can make out some marks.
A couple stone chips from doing burnouts. :eek:)
The interior has new carpet, seats and the back seat was reupholstered to match the front seats.
New white face gauges.
No headliner though. I took it out to weld the roll cage in and never replaced it. Oops.
Rear tires will need to be replaced soon.

This is not a show car or trailer queen, but it is a beautiful street car that has won car shows. I get compliments EVERY time I
drive it.
The best part is it's faster than hell!

I would like to get $12,000 out of it.

Selling this thing is going to kill me, but I need to do something before I get "desperate".
Let me know if you have any questions.
