Description

It has a newly rebuilt, forged 383 cu.in. racing engine, fresh paint and graphics, disc brake upgrade, LED lights, gloss black trim and alloy wheels, front spoiler and side skirts, carbon fibre dash, modern stereo with reverse camera, etc.

The car is virtually all new and has only done 150 miles since being built so it's not even run in yet. 

One UK owner who imported it himself. (I took it in part exchange.)

The car is running a newly built forged 383 Stroker engine (6.2 litre). It's got performance parts from Holley, Edelbrock, etc. and sounds amazing through the 2.5" stainless steel pipes. Transmission is a TH350 with a B&M ratchet shifter and Pro Launch rear end.

The car has recently had a complete new paint job in metallic racing green. The owner did it himself - it is better than some I've seen but it is not a show finish. The graphics are vinyl and removable/replaceable with different sponsors etc. if you wish. The twin racing stripes are pearl metallic gold. The 383 numbers are pearl ivory with pearl gold outline.

Like I said above, nearly everything is new:

Rebuilt forged 383 stroker motor

TH350 trans with new fluid, filter and gasket

Recent paint and brand new graphics

Black powder coated trim, door handles, alloy wheels

New tyres

All new rubber seals

Extra spare parts include a fibreglass hood and front bumper, Hotchkis 2" lowering front springs, stainless exhausts with electric cut outs.

My auto electrician has been through the car in order for it to go through an MOT if required. I had another garage have the car on ramps to change the transmission gasket as it had a slight leak. They also rerouted the handbrake cables from hanging below the exhausts as standard to a safer solution. There was a rear axle noise so I took the car to an American specialist who also had it on ramps for a thorough check over, which resulted in a replacement wheel bearing, reassembled diff, with new fluids and seals. He gave it a check over underneath and so I am confident the car would get an MOT and is good.

Cash sale preferred but I may accept another car, modern or classic, in part ex. But at trade price only! No time wasters, test pilots, and test drives will only be allowed once I see the cash. Due to the age of the vehicle no warranty is given.
