That's a shame. All that work. I remember your build thread, it was TOP notch.

Was the car ever finished or did you just part the drivetrain and all the mods before you got a chance to drive it?

Hey, i never dyno'd the car but i did have it running and driving and with the th350 final gear ratio was off by 2000 rpm's and it didn't even make the car fun to drive. Mainly just drove it around town not exceeding 35mph. I have a new plan after this that will be really sweet.

So I'm confused, are you selling the car for 8k without a motor?

Do you have any interior photos? What about mileage on the chassis?

Hello! I am just waiting on the engine to get here Monday and i will have it completely back together by next weekend.

I've owned this sc for over 7 years and have over 1000 photos haha ill grab the most recent ones. The interior currently is out in my house I am gonna have it finished dyed completely black instead of having the ivory middle. All fabric was reupholstered by a local shop costing over 700 i don't remember how much exactly.
