Hmmm... now what?

I guess PHR keeps preaching about building alternative muscle cars.. now it's time to walk the walk.. It was just too clean to pass up for that price.

Anyone in Portland transport cars??

So, what should we do? 390 engine, TKO-600 trans, Curie nine-inch rear?

Black steelies with better binders? thoughts?

Steve not quite a 6 or 7 but a very nice car at that price pm me and I will give you my number our family owns a trucking co and I have some friends up there.

Thanks, just seemed so clean.. I could care less about the drivetrain. I just didn't want to have to pay for paint/body on a magazine project car. It's not like I'm keeping this one forever :)

Hey Steve. I saw dream car garage where Peter Klut was driving a 70 GTO and it was stock looking other then the wheels and tires. It had modern bolt on stuff, brakes, 430hp motor, wheels and such, but looked clean. I always like the original muscle car look and think you guys should do the same with this. I would change the color though and change the color of the interior as well.

My 02 cents.

Change the color? How can you not like the color.. it's almost the color of YOUR car... ???

:lol:

I like the color and think you got a very good deal.

Sent you a pm with my numbers, as far as the build it depends on what your looking for a new GT engine would be nice with a shaker added and suspension work or a old school cammer with efi and some pressure sounds better to me, call the boys in texas and get some rear suspension and adapt it from the mustang kit beee cool they will work on it im sure..... :thumbsup:

Very true, but if you get rid of that top that car in black would be really cool.

I was going to bid on it $12k but I forgot the auction finished today!
I am glad I forgot since you probably had a higher bid than what you won it for and then one of us would have paid much more for it.

Secondly, I do not have space for it but at that price, I probably would have come up with something.

I was thinking a 514ci 625HP Super Cobra Jet crate engine with a TKO 600. Those 514's are very reasonably priced @ $8100. How does that sound?

BTW, congratulations. You should buy it afterwards for yourself :unibrow:

So, $8100 was a good deal? It was about the limit I was gonna pay so you would have won for anything over $8500 or so.. lol

Nice to know there are still some deals out there. All I know is that the engine needs to be Big to move a 3600 lb car quickly..
