Price: $26900

Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): UT

This car was recently completed. The engine has about 200 miles on it for break in and street tuning purposes. Car weighs 2380 lbs. just as it sits in the pictures with the iron Block 408 LS, Dana 60 and Glide. I have the scale verification from when I weighed the car.
If you want an easy to drive and maintain legit single digit street car this will be the one. With the turbo 408 LS engine and the low weight this car will be easy on drivetrain parts and easy to maintain. It would be really tough or next to impossible to get a Camaro, Nova, Malibu or an LX Mustang based LS swap car down to this low of a weight especially considering that this car has an almost bulletproof DANA 60 in it. It has the Holley HP EFI system in it so it starts and drives very easy.
Here are some of the highlights of the car.
• Titled and licensed. This is a legit 7 or 8 second street car, turnkey. Runs mid 8’s @165 mph on low timing tune, easy launch and 20 lbs of boost. Launches and runs straight. Brakes work well.
• Chassis was certified to 8.50 this year, 2015. NHRA inspector said “that car has a great chassis. Chrome moly cage. Passes our local track tech inspection easily.
• Very street able and easy to drive. Starts right up and is great at low speeds and part throttle operation.
• Has lights, turn signals, brake lights.
• Professionally built chassis, Chrome moly cage
• All new engine and transmission as car was just completed. It only has a couple of test passes on it.
• 4- link rear suspension, Strange Strut Front end. Dana 60 rear end with Strange 35 Spline Axles and lightweight spool, 3.73 gears.
• Strange calipers on front, Wilwood calipers on back. Brakes work great
• Hughes Racing Powerglide Transmission w/ Pro Brake,
• PTC Race Converter built for the car and turbo combination
• Holley EFI HP engine management system with optional touch screen
• Analog Boost, Oil, and Trans Temp to complement the Holley Touch Screen

• Remote battery shut off and external charging connector on back valence.
• New Alky Control Methanol injection system. Works great. Sensor light is on shift light by tach.
• AMS Boost Controller with CO2. Enables rock steady boost. I should have just used the Holley System with the EFI but that is an option for someone.

The picture where it is doing a wheel stand was when it had an iron block V6 with a dry sump. It weighed 2030 with that combo. It weighs 2380 lbs with the iron block and the large frame BW turbo.
I have not had it on a dyno.
I bought the car as a roller out of California several years ago and it was professionally done. It is really a high quality build chassis.
The car runs really well and is very street able with the smaller turbo cam and rear end gears. It is always an attention getter at the cruises and the cars and coffee meets that I have been to.
You can easily display the MAP pressure and other gauges on the Holley Touch Screen and that is what I have been using.
The grill where I have cut out some openings needs to be finished by smoothing, sanding and repainting the area. It does not look very bad but to match the rest of the car it should have some attention. I have a quart of both colors of paint for the car.
This car is definitely an attention getter and will save you big dollars over building a car of this quality yourself or having someone do it for you.
It has a great forged engine, a strong, bulletproof Powerglide Trans and Converter and the Dana 60 rear end has a world class reputation for strength.
If you want a turnkey fast street car that can run with many of the top cars in the county, this is an easy way to get one and save you a ton of money over building one.
The reason I am selling this car is that we are moving and I need to get rid of some cars.
My loss will be your gain.
I will include a SFI fire suit, gloves, shoes, neck roll with sale if needed.
My Ebay feed back score is 100% with almost 500 transactions so I will treat you honestly and fairly with no stories.
Here is a link of a run with a no boost, no transbrake launch at about 7500 ft. DA. Low timing, medium boost tuning.
