This was 8 year old Patrick's dream car, turns out it's not 44 year old Patrick's dream car. Car was off the road due to a front end tap in 1973 until last fall.
build thread: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/i-did-a-thing-involving-an-iconic-car/145786/page1/
quick rundown:
1999 LS1 with comp cam/pushrods. Unknown miles but appears low, I ran this engine in my impala prior to putting in the 57.
2003 4L65e with 26k miles and a new FTI 3200(i think, can check) stall converter.
narrowed 9" ford with 3.25 gears and a rebuilt locker. Speedway motors axles and disc brake kit.
tubular front control arms, coilovers, disc brake conversion
Triangulated 4 link rear with bilstein coilovers
nicopp brake lines, power conversion
tanks inc efi tank with an fittings and line tank to engine.
49k mile body with not a lot of rot. Some on left quarter(also has bondo in it) and the back of the trunk, needs a couple floor to rocker supports fixed. Any metalwork I did is in the build thread.
it's a running driving car that needs sorted:
Computer needs tuned properly including setting the tach and speedo outputs right.
trans started leaking in the 2 years it sat between being run
pinion seal dribbles
needs rear tires, i will buy some before it leaves because I don't trust the drag radials
there is no grill or oem front bumper, as that all didn't come with the car
Needs driver's door glass
have extras(lots of misc, original gauges, hood, core support, original rear axle) to go with along with some vintage roadside assistance items.
I have no idea what this car is worth, people have told me anywhere from 20-30k, so let's say GRM asking price and I will listen to other ideas privately is $20k.
