Its time. Vinnie, Stan, and a few others know I've been on the fence for a year. Knowing that... I still haven't stopped modding this truck, but before I put the ad up on CL, I figured put it here where many know me and the truck. Its been a great ride since 2006 when I got it... and to this day I still love driving it. But the time for my next bucket list ride is way overdue.
All the details are listed below... probably left a few out. I'm thinking there's over $40K invested, almost $10K of that is in the custom candy ghost flame paint work. I'd like to get close to $30K with everything including many of the OEM parts, extra wheels/tires, hood, grills, etc. as long as the buyer is serious and doesn't try to low-ball me. In fact... if somebody on Lightning Rodder buys it at my price and takes everything, I will also include a set of ModMax H-Beam Rods that were take-off on a new engine build. All they have is break-in hours, not much more and they have ARP2000 Studs & Bronze Bearings. With a low-mileage motor, you could have a nice built bottom end for probably not a lot more than a grand if you do the install and have a local shop balance it.
Somebody wants to make me an offer where I keep all or some of the extras, I'm open to listening.
Black Exterior, with PPG Candy Liquid Crystal Blue Trim, House of Kolor Silver Pearl pinstripe, tribal ghost flames in PPG candy pearl, 15 coats of Glasurit Clear Coat, Custom Painted by Chris Cerce Customs in Tauton, MA. This truck is garaged 24/7, has never seen snow, been in the rain no more than a dozen times... stored and covered (you get the cover too) from Thanksgiving to Easter. I have original owner’s delivery documents, the original SVT Documentation, and much more. Truck has won trophies in numerous shows, and is as turn-key as it gets. A cruise night or show always brings dozens of people asking about the truck and complimenting the condition and detail. Seats are in amazing condition, no pilling, no tears... always covered except for shows and GTGs.

No... I'm not selling any parts so don't ask.
I'll post more pix in the follow-up below, which will be Image Heavy LOL. And if you're wondering where I'm going... its nowhere. I'll be around for a long time as I've made some great friends here and don't intend to walk away. I've owned the truck outright since the day I bought it, I don't _have_ to sell it. But if/when I do... most likely it'll be replaced by a '60's era Camaro or Mustang, definitely _NOT_ a numbers-matching car, just a nice looking, nasty sounding cruiser that has room for four. Probably automatic although I might be able to go with a stick since the DD is now automatic and AWD.
