CALIFORNIA CAR WITH LOTS OF FUN UPGRADES!PERFECT CAR TO COMPLETELY RESTORE AS YOU DRIVE IT!Chevy 350 with Edelbrock Aluminum Heads 4 Speed Muncie M21 Transmission NEW 3.73 GearsNEW Edelbrock Preformer 750 carbNEW Moroso Oil PanNEW HURST Shifter (w/ new rubber boot included separately)NEW Tires & Lug NutsNEW Timing Chain & CoverNEW Heat Wrapped Fuel LinesMSD 6AL Ignition & WiresAluminum Radiator ( runs very cool )Low Profile Street ManifoldComp CamHedman HeadersDual Flowmaster 40 Series ExhaustSadly, I have to part with my baby due to a recent move (only allowed 2 gated parking spaces) and my passion project has to go. The good news is that she can now get the full attention she deserves!Six years ago I purchased this bird from it's 3rd owner in Palm Springs, CA. I had very high hopes for this car, and sold my mint condition '91 Z-28 so that I could finally join the ranks of the 1st gen club.I drove this car to work and back for a few years as my daily driver, slowly adding the parts I wanted and making it my own. Like many classic enthusiasts my plan was to do a full restoration as I drove her, starting from the motor, then interior, and finally ending with the paint. However, plans change - and now 6 years later I've found myself having to give her up!The car pulls HARD at higher RPM's. The heads really allow it breathe properly once you get up there - but it's fairly mild below 4k revs. It's no wanna-be drag car and is very well suited for daily street use. Nothing beats going through gears on a Muncie while on an open stretch of road.Any classic owner knows the fear and dread of an overheating V8, so I didn't skimp on the radiator. She will run cool either on the freeway, or stuck in traffic.It sounds and idles great and definitely turns heads everywhere it goes. Be prepared to talk to a lot of strangers about your ride.So now that the cool stuff is out of the way - here is what the car needs ( or not depending on what you're into )Interior carpeting is a bit old and discolored. It's intact, but I would eventually swap this out. Luckily it's not very expensive.Weatherstripping works for California, but it's a bit old. I'd eventually replace this too.Like most of the classic car's I've owned - the air vents and wipers need some work.I would replace gauges on center counsel, but it's up to you.And finally, unless you want to roll around like Mad Max in The Road Warrior, I'd eventually give her a proper paint job. You can't really tell from the pictures but the paint isn't in the best of shape.Body is straight and free of dents ( no bondo work ever ) - so this won't be too much of an issue. Be prepared to set off a few car alarms too, especially in garages.The good news is that you get a solid platform to begin YOUR build with (complete with a few universally approved performance mods), at a competitive price.I'm pricing this car to sell, and I have it at my local mechanic's shop for sale as well - first come first served! I'm here to help with any questions - I want to make this as easy as possible for both parties. Thanks for looking!-Nick
