Lightbulb Trade or Sale - 98 Formula Drag Car (7.50 ET Chassis)

EDIT 5/20/06: VEHICLE IS SOLD! THANKS FOR LOOKING!

I'm considering selling or trading this huge money pit, before I commit to installing another $16K worth of parts into it. I simply don't have the time to go drag racing as much as I used to, so I wouldn't get much use out of the car.

-The entire drivetrain, suspension, brakes, tranny, wheels/tires, etc... have ZERO miles on them. Everthing is brand new except the engine.
-The chassis was recently NHRA certified to 7.50 ET or slower.
-All chassis and suspension work done by Madman ($5300 worth of receipts)
-Car runs/drives. Currently has a 440 rwhp LS6 based heads/cam engine under the hood. Futral 228/230 cam, longtubes, LS6 intake, ported LS6 heads.

I have nearly $30,000 invested in the car as it sits. Asking $21,000 or best offer, or an interesting trade for ???

Here are the parts on the car:
-BMR Extreme Duty torque arm
-BMR lower control arms
-BMR K-member
-BMR upper and lower A-arms photo
-QA1 12-way adj front and rear shocks (coil-overs up front)
-TCI Dedenbear cased Powerglide tranny, max effort build ($$$)
-TCI racing converter, stalled for 1000 rwhp @ 3200 lbs, 7K rpm shifts
-TCI trans brake, Thunder Racing line lock
-TCI Outlaw shifter
-Madman lightweight manual steering rack
-Strange lightweight drag race rear brake system
-Aerospace lightweight drag race front brake system
-new brake lines and braided lines
-Billingsley ABS delete block
-Billingsley Fab-9 rearend with gun-drilled 35 spline axles and star flanges ($$$) photo
-Billingsley anti-roll drag race bar
-Wolfe 10-pt chrome moly rollcage w/ window net
-Wolfe thru-floor subframe connectors
-cam-lock 5-point racing harnesses on both seats
-Madman heater delete firewall panel
-Weld Aluma-Star 2.0 billet front wheels, 15x10 rears ($$$)
-Brand new M/T ET Drags (28x10.5) and front runners
-CNC ported LS6 heads
-Futral F11 cam (228/230)
-Dynatech stepped longtube headers 1-3/4 to 1-7/8
-LS6 intake
-MTI ported T-body
-MTI airbox lid
-ASP crank pulley
-Speed Inc lightweight carpet - brand new installed 5/17
-Sparco "Rev" racing seats

If you have Microsoft Excel, you can view my cost tracking sheet here:
https://ls1tech.com/misc/FormulaCosts.xls

what does the car need? A wheel alignment, then it can make passes as-is.

Help me get this money pit out of my garage, so that I can work on my '69 Camaro project instead







The car has the correct Formula wing now:

I'm asking $21K

Trades I'm interested in:
-low mileage, ultra-clean LS1 f-body of equal or less value plus cash, must be 6-speed
-musclecars, classics, hotrods
-C5 Corvettes, must be 6-speed
-what else?

Probably not going to be interested in the Boxster, I can't work on those

The last time it was for sale, it was a completely different car. I replaced everything on the car from top to bottom, except for the engine

Yeah, there is definately a laundry list of high $$ parts you've put in it. If you have it around for a while longer, it will be mine. I had a silver 98 Formy WS6 that I sold a while back...looking for another

You should donate that car to someone you know that works in a shop that could really make it fly. Just a suggestion

How streetable is this car? Power windows and locks still work, does it have a clean title? I love this car, very nice!

everyones definition of "streetable" is different. Power locks and windows still work. Clean title.

with a 2-spd tranny and a 4.10 gear with a spool, on drag slicks and drag runners, I wouldn't consider it a street car. You would have to at least change the wheels/tires to drive it around. Gas economy would suck too

Tony,

Is the rear end narrowed at all?
Is the car minitubbed?
Shots of the engine bay?

Thanks,

Scott

rearend is custom narrowed 2" on each side. This gives a nice deep dish look to the rear wheels (15x10 with 5.5" backspacing) and results in a lighter axle. Car is not minitubbed.

I'll get an engine bay pic taken, it looks like a stock LS1 under the hood. Good power, ugly engines
