It is an original 5.0 manual trans car (4 speed SROD). It is in real good shape for a 31 year old car and has the following upgrades:

'69 block
Weiand 8011 intake
Holley 600 carb
Comp Cam: 554/558 lift, 294/306 duration (250/256 at .050 lift)
BBK long tube headers
BBK off road H-pipe
Flowmaster 2 1/2" catback with stainless tips
March UDP
Hi-flow aluminum water pump
MSD Blaster 2 coil
Powermaster 1-wire 140 amp altenator
K&N air filter
FRPP World Class T5 trans
FRPP aluminum driveshaft
Hurst shifter
Zoom kevlar clutch
3.73 gears
Brand new Weld Draglites (15 x 3.5 and 15 x 8 with 5.5 BS)
Brand new tires (165/15 and 275/50 Nitto DR's)
Brand new Lakewood 90/10 struts and 50/50 shocks
Drag launch springs with air bag in right rear
Pioneer CD player and speakers
Fiberglass cowl hood

The car has 119K miles on it, but most of the upgrades have 5K or less on them. The car is a factory 'stripper' (No A/C, cruise, RWD, PDL, etc.). It even came with the original window sticker and warranty card!

I weighed the car and it was only 2,800 pounds with a 1/4 tank of gas.

The car runs well and sounds awesome with the big cam!!

I ran the car a couple of times and here are the times: 8.74 @ 81.61 MPH with a 2.12 60' in the 1/8 mile and 13.73 @ 100.03 MPH in the 1/4 mile.

Since it is 31 years old, I'm able to run antique tags (no inspections stickers required), and get classic car insurance. This helps keep the cost down!!

The car is very fun to drive and gets a TON of attention any time I take it out! I'm just going to sell it and put the money into my '04 Cobra.

The price is $4,500 FIRM!!! I'm NOT interested in ANY trades.

I work shift work and can be reached on my cell at 434-610-4922. If no answer leave a message and I will call you back.

The pics below were taken BEFORE I installed the drag springs. The car sits right much lower in the front and a little lower in the rear now.
