Reluctantly putting this one up for sale.  I've owned for 8+ years, previous owner had it for about 10 or so years, all were garaged in Texas.  I believe that all metal is original, this is a solid rust free Texas car.  Runs and drives great, get in and go (FAST).  Clear Texas Title in my name.  Have a couple of high dollar projects in the works, so selling a few cars to help raise the cash please see my other auctions.

400 Small Block destroked to 377, 4 bolt, 7 quart pan, 2.02 valves, steel crank and rods, arp rod bolts, Pete Jackson gear drive, TRW forged pistons, Holley single plane Street Dominator intake, Holley 4160 Carb (driver), Comp Cam magnum 292, Harlen Sharp roller rockers, poly motor mounts, 12 bolt 3.73 rear, front disk brake conversion, lakewood ladder bars, boxed in rear arms, 4 core alumn radiator, turbo 400 with ultra bell housing, 8 point roll cage, B&M shifter.

NOS 250HP installed but NEVER used.  You will need to upgrade the carb from the "driver" 4160 to a 850dp or something along those lines to use the Nitrous.

Front seats are out of a 1969 442 (I think) and need recovering, original covers are brittle and torn.  I have brand new unopened PUI 1969 seat covers for them that I can include for $260 adder to sale price.  I also have a brand new gas tank and sending unit for a $125 adder to the sale price, and an aftermarket gauge cluster housing (no gauges) I can include for a $99 adder to the sale price.  I will include the original rear seat, although it does not fit with the NOS bottle and cage installed at this time. 

The Nitto tires and rims are like new, Rears have maybe 100 miles on them tops.  I have driven this car on 2 hour trips with no problems, has never broken down or stranded me.  Car has blue neon lights inside and under the car which illuminate the NOS bottle and car very cool.  Obviously these can be taken off easily, but they do look good at night.

Please note that I will be removing the MSD 6A and timing box, it is not hooked up at this time and I need it for another car.

The problems that I know about are:  The Tach is not hooked up, the passenger window rolls up but stops about 3 inches from the top, you physically have to pull it up to finish closing it, I do not think the wipers work if memory serves me correctly, the driver side back window fell of its tracks you can still get it up but you have to do so manually moving it while cranking, the hood closes but the springs are old and you have to push the hood down at the cowl after it is closed to look 100% closed - not a big deal but again no surprises, engine starts right up but choke is not set up so you have to warm it up for 30 seconds or so on a cold start.  Exhause is a little loud, but not abnoxious.  Runs and drives fast - lots of fun, NO hesitation or anything like that, no surprises this is a get in and go car.

Car would look awesome with a little time and money, again I hate to part ways with her but just one of those things.  I am an honest Ebay and expect the same from a potential buyer.  Car is for sale locally I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.  International bidders are welcome as I have sold a few toys in the past worldwide, please read my feedback on other Classic Cars and motorcycles I have sold over the years. Thanks and good luck!

I do have a set of rims and tires Rally style for a more original look if you are interested.  Contact me with a question on price, we can work out a revised Buy it Now price according to me keeping the Old Schools and Nittos.  Thanks for the question,

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers

Thu, Apr 2 2015

What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.

Nissan Leaf hits 3,000 sales in July, Chevy Volt climbs over 2,000

Fri, Aug 1 2014

It was a good sales month for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, with the two 'elder statesman' plug-in vehicles reaching numerical milestones in July. The Leaf sold 3,019 units and the Volt crossed the 2,000 sales level for the first time in 2014, hitting 2,020 sales. With Tesla also announcing it is delivering around 2,500 Model S EVs a month (but that's globally, compared to the US-only numbers for the Volt and Leaf we're talking about here) and Ford's plug-in vehicles selling well, we are certainly in a golden moment for EV sales. The Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. For the Volt, the 2,020 units sold represents a 13 percent increase from July of 2013 even thought year-to-date sales are down 8.7 percent this year compared to last year. Overall, total Chevrolet deliveries for July 2014 were up eight percent compared to 2013, so the Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. On the Leaf front, this is only the second time that the EV has sold more than 3,000 units in a month (the other being in May of this year). The year-over-year increase for the Leaf was 62 percent in July and represents the 17th straight month of record sales, as Nissan is more than happy to report each month. Overall, Leaf sales are up 34.6 percent, year-to-date, and Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said in a statement that a free public charging incentive was responsible. "Since we launched the No Charge to Charge promotion in the first 10 markets, we've seen a surge in Leaf sales in those areas. Leaf sales in the northeastern US are also picking up with new tax incentives for Massachusetts and Maryland residents." With No Charge To Charge set to expand to 25 markets over the next year, we expect Leaf sales to continue to grow. We will have our monthly look at all green car sales available soon, so stay tuned.

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015

Tue, Jul 8 2014

Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
