My focus was to make this as nice/practical a "reliable/street driver" as possible.
Extra attention has been spent on (often overlooked) important items, such as;
a reliable self bleeding cooling system,
a/c climate& control plumbing,
WIRING!, and heat/sound insulation.
The engine is a mild (302) 5.0 balanced & assembled using all ARP fasteners & quality pieces
The car is currently "unfinished", with all the hard stuff done, and done right.
Here is a complete list of what is needed to finish the car:
sanden 508 a/c compressor, mounting bracket, and belt
pulse generator for the speedometer
finish welding/fabbing exhaust headers (65% done)
radiator hoses & clamps
heater control valve
cables for shifter,accel, and p-brake
accel pedal
interior upholstery (ie-carpet,seat covering)
battery, and alternator
final paintwork
All bodywork is done by a fiberglass guy with over 15 years exp.,,,,and body is in final primer. This body is nice and had alot of hours put into making it that way.
The car is ready to spray color on it!
I'm considering selling the car with two options:
#1: the buyer comes & gets the car "as is" and finshes it himself/herself.
#2: the buyer makes a deal with me & sends me a deposit,
and I'll have it painted the color of your choice and finish the assembly by an agreed date.
I'm talking 100 percent ready to drive anywhere,,, no overheating, no wiring issues, ice cold a/c, working heater.
For those who don't know, I have over 24 years experience as a Mercedes tech, have built numerous racecars,cobras,hotrods, and am an authorized builder for premier motorsports.
Only selling to raise funds for purchase of building.
