Default 1971 coupe project






Well, I guess it's time to see if anyone else would be interested in finishing my car. I've owned it for about 40 years; I disassembled the car years ago and never reassembled it now age is catching up. Not sure where to start but here goes. The car has been stored in a climate-controlled building the whole time it's been disassembled, disassembled means the engine and transmission were removed, originals long gone, I have a brand-new (not Reman) GM 2-piece rear seal 350 to go in it as well as a remanufactured turbo 400. the brake booster was removed and sent out and rebuilt never reinstalled, also the tilt telescopic steering column was sent out and rebuilt, never reinstalled. the head lights are removed and disassembled waiting for the new kits to be installed, for the headlights I also have brand new GM vacuum canisters for the headlights. All of the bumpers were replated and look very sharp. I have all 3 brand new GM grills for the car also. My body man just told me it would be a tough chore to find a nicer driver chassis that what my car is sitting on. I recently removed the AC box from the car intending to update to the new inside units, I have the original AC parts, The wind shield has been removed and replaced after cleaning the bird cage. The original power steering has been removed in favor of a Borgeson gearbox, it is installed but never run. The car is sitting on brand new Craiger 8x15 rims all around with 245-60-15 BFG tires on the front and 255-60-15 BFG's on the rear, the Crager's have the spinners also. There was a bad repair to the passenger side front finder when I got the car, my best friend is a real body man and has begun fixing someone else's screw up. There are several totes of parts that go with the car, I can't begin to list the new parts that are waiting to be installed. The car was originally Orange; I changed it to White immediately when i bought it all those years ago, the interior is black the seats are in good shape, and the door panels are good also. We are located in Florence SC right on I-95, I will upload a video as soon as I can figure out how. asking $15,000. I'm not on the forum often any questions please Email bracketshark5@gmail.com
