SOLD

Some of you may recall another thread on this car when it was a project for sale. Well, it’s now complete and on the road. I’ve just been finishing up the final touches like getting the AC charged and wheel alignment done. As of July 2017, I've put about 700 miles on it and done all of the first fluid changes. I haven't come close to pushing it, but even without ever going past ~5K RPMs, it has more power than you'll ever need and is a blast to drive. It should do great for the occasional track day if you want to do that with it. It really is like driving a brand new 2016 sports car.

Asking $125K. This is a great value for anyone looking for a real driver’s pro-touring car that needs absolutely nothing.

In case you're wondering why I'm selling, I've picked up a '63 SWC pro-touring project and a '67 Camaro project car, and this one needs to go to make room and free up some cash. I'm not broke, and I'm not giving this magnificent car away for a song, but if you're a serious buyer, PM me to see if we can make a deal that works for both of us.

Here’s the important stuff:

• Body:
o Original ’63 body with clear title
o GTS Customs widened rear quarters
o New Porsche Anthracite Brown paint
o All chrome newly re-plated
o All stainless trim straightened & polished
o New Detroit Speed headlight motor kit (much better than OEM motors)
o Removable hard top installed; I have bought every part needed to add the soft top (included in sale price) but haven't done it yet due to time. When it goes on, it will require going back into the rear cargo area to notch the rear wheel wells to clear the soft top frame when it’s stowed.
o I have some new repro emblems for the nose, deck and front fenders that I’ll include if you want them. I prefer the clean look with no emblems; so I left them off

• Chassis:
o SRIII frame powder coated satin black
o C6 Corvette suspension (front and rear)
o QA1 single-adjustable shocks and Hypercoil springs
o Newly rebuilt C4 (’84-87) Corvette steering rack
o New C6 Z06 brakes (13”-6 piston front; 12”-4 piston rear)
 New Hydroboost brake booster
 New Wilwood 1 1/8” bore MC with adjustable proportioning block
 All new stainless steel brakes lines throughout
o C6 Z06 polished aluminum split-spoke wheels (OEM Speedlines / 18” front; 19” rear)
o New Nitto Invo tires (275-35 front; 325-30 rear)

• Drivetrain:
o New LS 376/480 GM crate engine with 2-year warrantee (GM rates it at 495HP/473 lb-ft torque; has not been on a dyno)
 New GM engine harness & controller with OEM tune for this crate engine’s specs
 New GM Corvette-style accessory drive kit
 New DeWitts LS-swap radiator with 16" dia. SPAL electric puller fan (The engine and fan thermostats are both 195 degree units, and so far, with the AC on a 100+ degree Texas summer day, it wants to run at about 205-210; so it all seems good)
 Exhaust:
• Stainless Works LS headers for side pipes
• Custom bent 4” dia. turn-out tubes mated with Hooker 4” polished stainless side pipes (all polished stainless) with STS spiral baffles
 Custom cold air intake routed through the FI hole in the OEM radiator support
 New Rock Valley stainless steel gas tank with internal fuel pump
o New TKO600RR 5-speed transmission (.82:1 5th gear ratio) with 1 year warrantee
 New Hydramax hydraulic clutch kit and new clutch rated for 525HP
o New Gen 3 Viper DANA44HD differential with 3.55:1 gear set (matched with this transmission, gives 10.2:1 final drive ratio in 1st gear)
 New custom-built half shafts from The Driveshaft Shop rated for 1200HP
o

• Interior:
o Almost everything in the interior is new reproduction
o C5 Z06 seats with new all-leather seat covers (headrest embroidery omitted; the pattern matches well with 63/64 door panel design and looks like they belong)
o New Dakota Digital VHX Direct-Fit gauges with black alloy face and white back-lighting
 Dakota Digital dimmer switch in place of lighter on dash
 Dakota Digital BIM-01 unit included for reading engine diagnostics from ODBII port mounted under dash.
o New Vintage Air system with polished aluminum 3 dial controller mounted on center console (looks like it could have come that way.
o Dash center shaved for a clean appearance
o No stereo system; can be added by next owner if desired, but when the exhaust sounds so good, who wants to hear music?!

It's been a labor of love, and as we all know, love can be expensive and painful!

I'm in Fort Worth, TX. I recently added polished stainless heat shields to the side pipes, too. I didn't want to mess with the clean lines of the pipe coming down the side of the car, but one really good leg burn was enough to put practicality ahead of appearance.

I haven't been actively trying to sell, but I'm still willing for the right price. Need cash and garage space for my 63 SWC project. I'll negotiate some on price for a serious buyer, but no...I'm not going to sell it a for half of my ask. This isn't "Fake & Loud".

Wooo

Photos won't open for me

These are Photobucket photos posted before they changed their system. They will need to be posted in this thread again using another method.

Is there a sticky somewhere describing the new way to post these?
