Thinking about getting back into a built L.
For what its worth, was a pretty active member here for years, and ended up owning a well known 9 second L and then "The Fridge" for awhile. Would have loved to keep the 9 sec L, but had to sell for personal reasons. Considering a few options and we will see what happens i guess......a built lightning is one of those options.
What am I looking for: Fully built front to back truck. Similar to link below for an example, Not looking for mild bolt on trucks or anything close to stock. Will consider turbo trucks if there are any out there that fit the bill as well....
Clean title No major issues No projects Documented build aka receipts, shop verified, dyno or track numbers, etc

Price: $20k or less

Location:
Southern NJ

Browsing pages last couple days, this gives a pretty solid idea of what i would be looking for:
m.ebay.com/itm/1000-Horsepower-Whippled-Ford-Lightning/332369123854?_mwBanner=1#vi__app-cvip-panel

Feel free to PM me with any leads.

Please include pics, details, and price. Just ask for email, or phone if texting is easier.
Thanks in advance.
Stan

That link takes you to the LightningRodder forum. No specific truck. Just a heads up.

Good luck with your search! I've been looking for a clean lightning for a while and should be picking one up next Thursday. I can't wait!

Thanks Stan but already put a deposit on one. Know of you from my last round of lightnings, and know that the truck is definitely a beast. Good luck if you decide to sell.

Buyer paying for it tomorrow unless something goes very sideways. Made an offer on it i couldn't really pass up at the moment.
If it doesn't officially sell for some reason I won't be upset to say the least....it's a badass truck.

Made 620ish on street tune. Needed more fuel system to make any more safely. Made 7xx on race gas but only got to about 4lbs of boost I was told before it started going leaner than liked and aborted. All pics I have are too big....
Thanks
