Manual exhaust cutouts right off headers
Dumped before rear tires

I could go on and on, I'm sure thats not all of it but you get what I'm saying, it has been completely gone through, the only reason I am selling it is my dad is building a big block 396 version of it and I'm gonna be out done lol. Just seeing what trade offers I can get for it. I have a SS camaro thats cammed, bolted on, stalled, geared, and finished so no other f-bodys unless they are super clean.
wtt for c5z, 6.0 gto, 03 04 cobra, lightning.
Open to all offers though, let me see what you got.... thanks. and sorry for the cell phone pic quality.

Thats the problem, i cant sit down and set a price. lol B/c i dont really wanna sell it outright, trading would be much easier bc i would already have a replacement for it... make sense? But if an offer came along i couldn turn down i could sell it.

OP, we share damn near the exact same story. I bought my 71 when I was 14 and restored it with my dad and grandpa. I sold it at 18 when I bought a newer truck and I've regretted it ever since. PM me your asking price but you might want to re-think it!

my favorite body style. I had a 69 c10 back when I was 18. Regret selling it all the time along with my 2 69 chevelle's. I love the classics. I love my Z06 also but it just isn't the same.
Pm a price, if I can't get it I know a few guys who might be interested.
