for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

After much procrastination I have decided it is time to part with one of my most prized processions.
This 1971 Plymouth GTX has had a complete rotisserie high end show quality no expense spared restoration.
All of the work was done by professionals in the field, over 1300 labour hours and the cost of the build exceeded $140, 000.00.
It has its original number matching engine stamped with the Iron Cross.
Numbers matching transmission original 3.23-1 sure grip differential and factory front disc brakes.
Originally a single 4bbl now sporting 6 bbl.
The car, built by Investment Vehicle Restorations was the feature build on the television show
Street Sport Television
in 2010 and has driven less than ten miles since being restored.
This car is wicked fast.
It has always won its class as well as best restored and people’s choice and Kid’s choice at the car shows it has attended.
It has won many paint awards, engine awards, underbody awards and interior awards.
Since the car has not been driven on the street the buyer will be able to show it with as much pride as I have should they choose.
CONDITION
As you can see from the pictures every part of this car has been gone through.
The engine and transmission have been fully re-built, the block and heads were sent to Keith Black Performance Centre for machining at a cost of $6, 500.00 in the early 1980s and the car sat in storage since then, only driven a couple thousand miles until I bought it in 2009.
BODY
All new AMD sheet metal was used in the reconstruction where ever possible.
Rust free used sheet metal was used where new AMD sheet metal was not available.
The floors, inner and outer rockers were not repaired but replaced completely and all sheet metal was plug welded in the proper manor.
Full AMD wheel tubs, trunk floor extensions and quarter panels were replaced as shown in the pictures.
All of the structure was sandblasted and wherever possible epoxy primer was sprayed on the inner structure before the outer panels went on.
PAINT
After the priming and blocking was completed the inside portions of the body panels were epoxy primed, seam sealed and painted base clear.
The body was moved into the booth mounted on to the rotisserie and all of the remaining bare metal surfaces were epoxy primed and seam sealed where required.
The under body, engine bay and inside the trunk compartment were painted base clear on the rotisserie.
The outer body and body panels were painted base clear then wet sanded and re-cleared before a five step wet sand and five stage polish was done.
SUSPENSION AND BRAKES
All new ball joints, tie rod ends, pittman arm, idler arm and steering box were replaced.
Brake shoes, pads, rear drums and all four wheel cylinders were replaced with new.
All other suspension and brake component parts were sandblasted and epoxy primed.
The differential front K member and closeout panels were painted base clear black and the rest of the suspension and brake parts were painted to mimic cadmium plating cast or other bare metal colours.
None of these parts should ever start to rust.
ELECTRICAL
All of the gauges were tested and repaired/replaced as needed.
All wiring harnesses were replaced with new from Year One.

PAST HISTORY
The car was sold near Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.
It was hit on the left side with less than 20, 000 miles on it in the mid- seventies.
The car had three more owners who used it regularly until the early eighties.
The next owner was going to drag race the car so he had the engine and transmission built, ran out of money and the car sat at the body shop for several years, then when the shop owner passed away the car was bought by a person we know.
He drove it from there to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where a friend of mine bought it.
My friend never drove it so it sat in a storage compound for seventeen years before he sold it to me in 2009.
