The front subframe, upper and lower control arms and front core support were removed from the car, sandblasted and then powder coated black. Completely new front suspension kit; tie rods, ball joints, polygraphite bushings and body mounts, new front sbc coil springs. CPP complete 2" drop spindle power brake kit including drop spindles, 11" rotors, new calipers, pads, bearings, hardware, stainless brake hoses and new power brake booster and master cylinder. The entire front end is brand new, except for the steering box, and that has been checked out.
Complete new wiring harness from American Autowire (Classic Update Kit 500878). Front bench and rear seat recovered in black, original style upholstery from Classic Industries. New aftermarket steering wheel, Hurst QuarterStick shifter, Front wheels are Coy's C5 17x7 in gun metal gray with a polished lip and brand new BF Goodrich G-Force tires from Discount Tire. Trunk mounted red top Optima battery.
Engine is a 2007 5.3l from a Chevrolet Avalanche with 20k miles. Local shop went through the engine and installed an AutoKraft 5/12 quart fabricated 1st generation Camaro/Firebird oil pan with pick up tube. Return style fuel system with a new Holley blue pump, braided line and Holley HP regulator. New Dynatech MuscleMAXX headers, 1 7/8 primaries/3" collectors that are silver ceramic coated. New Edlebrock Performer RPM LS1 intake manifold and MSD ignition controller (Part 7118). Mighty Demon 750 cfm carburetor. Truck style coil packs.
Freshly built Turbo 400 transmission with new 3400 stall converter. Local shop built a driveshaft for it. Back wheels and rearend are still the same as when I got the car. I intended to buy another pair of 17" Coy's C5 wheels for the rear when I got to the back of the car.
Car needs the cam/heads and a radiator to run. I have a notebook with $13,000+ worth of receipts, no expense was spared; I never intended on selling it. I also have a lot of spare Nova parts that I've collected over time that will go with it.
I need $8500 for the whole thing.
Not looking for any trades, but thanks
