I'm on the fence about selling but have been thinking about it for awhile. It would help my finances out to free up the cash.
I have owned it since October of 2012. I purchased it from the owner of a bodyshop who painted this car as his own personal project. The paint is a very nice Tuxedo Black that drops jaws everywhere. It was painted about 10-12 years ago and I polish it every other year. The car was originally a 327/250 HP Powerglide 10 bolt car. I still have the complete numbers matching drivetrain available if the buyer wants it.
Here is the full build thread that shows the trial and tribulations of building a fast, reliable street car in a 2 car garage. Blood, sweat, and tears (yes tears, we can discuss if you are interested) along with lots of dough were invested. There's hundreds of posts with pictures and videos.

This car has been sorted over about 4,000 miles and runs great. Currently tuned on E85 to run up to 19psi. That produced 842 RWHP on a Dynojet. My wife loves to drive it and it's a pussycat off boost but when it comes in, you better be pointed in the right direction. My wife and 3 young boys love to cruise in it. The full size body style makes a big difference in interior comfort. I've had Chevelle's and they are actually pretty tight compared to this. I'm 6'2" and the 6 way power bench gets the seat perfect. The car has a lot of custom touches while keeping the Factory feel. It has some unique one off features like the intercooler housing using stock parts and the customer cup holder in the Strato-Bench armrest. The secret horn button 2-step and switchable boost activated exhaust cutout is fun too! Everything works except the ammeter in the dash, I have a gen light hooked up though in the factory spot. Even the key buzzer and lighter still work great.

-Hydroboost braking and power steering. Pedal had great feel and modulation with the 4 wheel Baer brakes. This car brakes surprisingly well and is by far the biggest safety feature of the car.

The 2 step is activated by flicking the switch and holding the horn button. Press horn, foot brake, release both at desired boost or RPM. At 6 PSI launch (3200 RPM) it netted 1.5 60' on 275 Pro's. It most certainly has a 1.4 in it.
While I'm asking, how much work is it to reflash for 91 octane?
