Description:

I'm testing the waters to see if there is any interest in my car. I built this car to be a fun, fast family cruiser. I've gotten a ton of enjoyment out of it and enjoyed building it. The car is fully sorted out and is turn key ready to go anywhere. I'm to the point where I'd like to build a garage so that I can have a place to do a full on restoration.

The car is very clean underneath and has had all rusted metal removed, replaced with new metal, sealed and painted. The motor is an all aluminum 5.3 with a small cam, Holley lo ram intake with a tick air to water intercooler. Billet wheel 7875 turbo and backed by a 4l80e with hd2 shift kit and FTI converter made to work with the turbo. Efi is controlled by a Terminator X Max ECU and Rear is a Quick Performance 9" with a Speedway third member, helical posi, 35 spline axles and 3.25 gears.

Full tubular control arms, CPP c5 drop spindles with 13" front brakes, ls1 12" rear disk brakes, and Tesla model S iBooster master cylinder. Drop springs front and rear for what I think is the perfect ride height.

Right now the car is set up to run around 7-8 psi and should make around 450 rwhp. The rings were gapped for higher boost and everything is set up to support it.

I have tons of extra parts that I'll let go as well such as the vintage air unit, extra Nomad parts and other misc. parts. The car is not perfect and that was my intention. The roof does have rust in the rear which is very common for Nomads, but I do have a rust free roof section to repair. It gets attention everywhere you go and will surprise people at red lights.

I'll post a few pictures if you aren't familiar with my car, but I've documented my full story here:

Thanks,
Ryan
