for sale
Price: US $1,000.00
Price: US $1,000.00
I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM THE BANK A FEW YEARS AGO..
IT WAS A VERY NICE CLEAN RUST-FREE CAR, AND HAD A LOT OF MODIFICATIONS ALREADY
DONE TO IT.
I HAVE BEEN DOING AUTO BODY WORK IN THE GRANBURY AREA
SINCE 1967.. MY AUTO BODY SHOP HAS BUILT MANY RACE CARS AND SHOW CARS. WE HAVE
TAKEN THIS CAR TOTALLY APART FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THERE IS TOO MUCH TO LIST BUT I
WILL BREAK IT DOWN THE BEST THAT I CAN. THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES SINCE BUILT. THE ENGINE SHORT BLOCK IS STILL IN THE MACHINE SHOP BUT THAT’S
ANOTHER STORY.
FRONT
SUSPENSION
ALL NEW CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, NEW
IDLER ARM NEW TIE ROD ENDS ETC. THE CUSTOM STEERING GEAR BOX WAS ALREADY ON THE
CAR.
BRAKES
FOUR WHEEL DISK WITH CUSTOM ROTTERS AND AEROSPACE
ALUMINUM CALIBERS, WHICH I RECENTLY SENT BACK TO AERO SPACE AND HAD COMPLETELY
REBUILT. ALSO ALL NEW BRAKE LINES. NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BRAKE BOOSTER.
COOLING
NEW ALUMINUM RADIATOR WITH TWO NEW ALUMINUM
COOLING FANS AND NEW UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES.
DRIVE SHAFT
THIS IS A CUSTOM SHAFT WITH ALL NEW U JOINTS.. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A DRIVE
SHAFT SAFETY LOOP.
REAR END
THIS IS A DANA 60 WITH CALTRAC BAR SUSPENSION, 355 GEARS AND A FULL SPOOL, AND ALSO ALUMINUM INSPECTION COVER AND
STRANGE ADJUSTABLE REAR SHOCKS. CUSTOM RACING AXLES ALSO. WE INSTALLED ALL NEW
SEALS.
EXHAUST
TWO SETS OF NEW HOOKER HEADERS, PRO AND STREET.
3 FLOW-MASTERS MUFFLERS AND 3 CUSTOM EXHAUST.
BODY
THE BODY IS ALL STEEL EXCEPT FOR THE ALL FIBERGLASS FRONT BUMPER AND
FIBERGLASS REAR BUMPER. I FIND THESE TO BE MUCH MOR DESIRABLE THAN THE OEM, THEY
ARE NOT ONLY MUCH LIGHTER BUT THEY DON’T CRACK AND SPIDERWEB LIKE THE OEMS.
INTERIOR
WE COMPLETELY REMOVED THE DASH AND INSTALLED NEW CUSTOM GAUGES AND
AIRCRAFT SWITCHES. THE REST OF THE INTERIOR IS PRETTY MUCH STOCK EXCEPT FOR THE ROLL CAGE, RACING SEATS, SEAT BELTS AND CUSTOM SHIFTER.
FUEL
SYSTEM
FUEL CELL’S IN THE REAR, THEN A SINGLE HOLLY FUEL PUMP, THEN TO A FUEL
PRESSURE REGULATOR MOUNTED ON THE FIREWALL. ALL OF THE FUEL LINES AND FITTINGS ARE
NEW . BLUE 1/2 INCH 300 PSI HOSES CONNECTED WITH PUSH ON SPR RACING FITTINGS.
PAINT
WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR IT WAS RED WITH THE NORMAL BLACK FIREWALL AND
INNER FENDERS. THE BODY WAS IN REAL NICE SHAPE WITH NO RUST OR DENTS JUST THE
USUAL DOOR DINGS AND CRACKS IN THE BUMPERS THAT I REPLACED.
WE REPAIRED ALL THE DINGS AND
SPENT MANY HOURS ON THE PAINT JOB.
AT MY SHOP THIS PAINT WORK AND DECALS WOULD COST APROX $12, 000.00
WE ALSO REMOVED THE SUB-FRAME INNER
FENDERS AND RAID SUPPORT HAD THEM SANDBLASTED AND PAINTED.
WHEELS
THESE ARE WELD RACING WHEELS. FRONT TIRES GOODRICH P215/70R15'S REAR TIRES, ET STREETS 28X12.5-15LT'S
N0S
THE CAR HAS A NOS BOTTLE MOUNTED IN THE TRUNK AND STEEL BEADED LINES
FROM THE BOTTLE TO THE CARB AREA.
THE STORY ABOUT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION!
THE TRANSMISSION IS A
400 TURBO WITH AN APPROX 3500 STALL CONVERTER. I TOOK THE TRANSMISSION TO A WELL
KNOWN TRANSMISSION SHOP, HERE IN TOWN, FOR A COMPLETE REBUILD. THEY TOLD ME THE
CASE HAD BEEN CRACKED, AND HAD BEEN REPAIRED.. SO I INFORMED THEM TO GET ANOTHER
CASE.. EASY ENOUGH RIGHT!!!!
WHEN I GOT MY TRANSMISSION BACK, AFTER PAYING THEM, THEY DID NOT
REPLACE THE CASE.. SO WHEN I INSTALLED IT IN THE CAR AND CRANKED THE ENGINE, IT
DID NOT WORK.
I WENT OUT AND PURCHASED ANOTHER GOOD USED TRANSMISSION, SO
NOW I HAVE TWO TRANSMISSIONS AND ENOUGH PARTS TO BUILD A GOOD ONE.
THE ENGINE THE ENGINE THAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE IS THE SAME ENGINE
THAT I STILL HAVE. THIS WAS A CUSTOM BUILT ENGINE BUILT BY BETTER PERFORMANCE
PONTIAC ENGINES. AGAIN I TOOK MY ALUMINUM RODDED, STROKER ROLLER CAMMED SHORTBLOCK
ALONG WITH MY FLUID DAMPNER, TO A LOCAL MACHINE SHOP….. WELL GUESS WHAT!!!! THE MACHINE SHOP BURNED DOWN ALONG WITH MY
SHORT BLOCK FLUID DAMPTNER AND TCI FLYWHEEL. I STILL HAVE THE ELDEBROCK
PERFORMER RPM ALUMINUM HEADS WITH ROLLER ROCKERS AND LIFTERS, ELDEBROCK VICTOR ALUMINUM
INTAKE WITH REBUILT HOLLY CARB, ALUMINUM VALVE COVER AND ALL THE ALUMINUM
PULLIES, ALUMINUM LIFTER VALLEY PAN, CUSTOM RACING OIL PAN, A NEW FUEL PUMP , AND
NEW JEGS PRO STARTER ETC.
I HAVE PURCHASED ANOTHER 1975 400 SHORTBLOCK
AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN APART AND VATTED BUT STILL WILL NEED REBUILDING.
NEEDLESS TO SAY ALTHOUGH
EVERY PART ON THIS CAR IS NOT BRAND KNEW.. MANY OF THE PARTS ARE ..OR HAVE BEEN
REBUILT. WE HAVE SPENT A TON OF TIME AND MONEY ON THIS CAR IT REALLY IS AN AWESOME
CAR . I HAVE OTHER PROJECTS IM
WORKING ON AND IM READY FOR THIS ONE TO GO.
