Craigslist find

[TeamHawaiin]

I found this jewel on Craig's list for 2800. I couldn't pass it up. He wanted 3200 but I talked him down to 2800. The 400 I saved, I went and bought a $400 parts car complete with a one year old paint job, that is why the front clip is blue. Months of fabrication and headache has been saved. This car has never been on the track. It was built in 2005 but the owner ran out of money. It's been sitting in his shop collecting dust ever since then. It's a 4 link car so that's even better. The narrowed ford 9 inch is 5:13 gears so it's an 1/8 th mile car. I want to run a 1/4 mile but that gear is going to wind out the motor. This might be a good thing to run the 1/8 th, that way I can tune in the car's handling (since its never been driven since the build), then change the gears to 4:56 and then run the 1/4 mile. There is no way I could have built the car this cheap. It came with a 2 speed powerglide, stall, trans brake, a MSD 7 electronics box. The front windshield and back is Lexan. All I need is a motor, fuel pump, exhaust, radiator and a few more pieces of aluminum to finish it up. Then I'm done....

You are right about one thing, you could not have built it and bought the parts that came with it for the price you paid. If ya wanna go racing, that was a screaming deal.

Looks like a back half car?

I have been looking at complete car deals and they are amazing. I want to upgrade my "project" but cannot get rid of the project. LOL
