Moving to a new house so I'm selling the car to help pay for the downpayment.
Many of you have seen my car before but I'll post pics here:
33,XXX on the odometer. I believe it's true mileage but no documentation to back it.
Modifications:
- Lowered 1.5"
- 17" American Racing Wheels w/ 225's on the front and 255's on the back- good tread
- Front power disc brakes- 72 Nova
- Most bushings are new with remainder of new bushings in box
- Offenhauser Intake
- Holley 390 CFM carb- Needs rebuild though. Had planned on going EFI
- Langdon split headers to a single 2.5" Flowmaster 44 dumping behind wheel
- Mild cam
- HEI
- Electric pusher fan and 3 core radiator
- New oil pump and pickup
- 2004r Trans-May need TLC, but comes with spare Powerglide and everything to hook it up
- Paint is from 2000- has minor chips. Evidence of some bondo- 5 footer. Not perfect but shows extremely well
- Custom interior from around 2000 as well. While and blue leather.
- Custom Autosound Stereo with Sony 6x9's in the back and dual voice coil front center speaker
- Front Shoulder Belts, Rear Shoulder Belts in box not installed yet (another to-do for the spring that won't happen now)
- Glass is all 100% original. Minor pitting but it's only original once. Door glass has vent logo from factory
- New bumpers but originals included
- Forever Sharp steering wheel. Original included
- Gauge pod under radio (not shown in pics- will update)
- 1 wire alternator- 2 years old
- Includes about 1 quart of PPG paint, no hardener though. If you want to do some touch up it's there.
- Sound deadened interior- Car sounds and feels really solid when driving
- Lots of spares, etc.
PM me if interested. I have a couple things I need to mess with on the car as I was in the middle of winter maintenance when this happened. House sold a LOT faster than expected. Wanted to give you guys first shot.
I won't lie: she's not perfect but she's in solid condition and despite it being a six with the new trans the tires spin just fine. It's kind of fun showing up at a car show or meet and confusing people with it. The most common thing to hear is "That doesn't sound like a 6!". It's fun to be at a show and watch guys walking along the line of Camaros without stopping until they get about halfway past my engine bay and realize what they're looking at.
The bad:
-Acting like a vacuum leak. Might be the vac advance or something similar.
-I patched the floors 2 years ago. It's solid but my welding skills are lacking. If you're a perfectionist you'll likely want to replace with full floors.
-Passenger side door shows evidence of a previous dent that was pulled back in the day when nobody cared about these cars. It was straightened and has a thin coat of bondo. No cracking, however. Just something to note.
-Needs new carpet or stain existing. Original to the car so I didn't touch it but if you want a perfect show car you'll need to address.
I've put a ton of effort and time into this over the past 4 years. I probably have close to 24k in it now. I didn't keep receipts or anything because I intended to keep the car but life changes and here I am.
If the buyer is local I'll even help work on it if you get into a project down the road. The caveat is I get to ride in it again. As I said: she's my baby and I don't want to lose her but my priority is getting my kids into a house with a bigger yard and better schools.
Some of the trophies:
First place in mild modified at Camaro Nations 2 years ago. Second place last year. Participant judging, not the nit-pickers, though. Couple wins at the Maryland Chevy Show, and a couple local show trophies that I happened to enter. I think there were only 2 shows I entered where I didn't walk away with a trophy or plaque. It was always just a fun family cruiser and not a true show car. Just something I could be proud of without keeping it hermetically sealed.
I'd be a wreck if I ever had to let any of my trucks go. But, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Hope to see a future project soon!
