Looking at offers around $47K. I have lots of receipts for engine work from the prior owner, mostly just states "to owners specs", so I am not sure about the engine specs. Compared to my 600+ GT5S Fontana and 500+ Group 4 Stroker, I would put it somewhere in the mid 400s range. Good thing is that it runs like clock work, no problemo.
Let's see here...

Nice car, stock body, knowledgeable owner, $25grand in upgrades on a $47k car. Sure, you can go out and buy a DOG for $25k, do ALL THE WORK and research, all the fitment, refitment, calls, tuning, and retuning, have a zillion $ in "unreturning equity" (also known as "your time").

Then you'll have $50grand in a car that still needs paint, probably has a yet undisclosed affair with a tinworm, and whaddya got? Nowhere NEAR the car being offered here.

Jump in folks. A well sorted tastefully modded car that's ready to run does't come up all that often. THE PRECEEDING IS AN UNSOLICITED OPINION FROM A FELLOW PI MEMBER. Not affiliated or compensated, just motivated to see a bystander join the fun!

You can respond (be nice, now) to pantera2171@yahoo.com

Thanks and good luck with the sale of your beautiful car.

Getting close Matt...not quite, but almost there. I see you are in Burbank close to OC. My hand is open waiting for $ to drop in it. I have a couple guys out of state in the 40s, but no dropa of the money in the handa yet.
DISCLAIMER: All postings herein are at the direction of a third party whose level of computer literacy is so low that he thinks that opening a Groupee account will get him a backstage pass...

He says he's firm with his price but can pay with lightning speed.

Personally, I really like your car. Wish I were in a position to own it today.
