The reason the Dyno data says 750 Holley is because the engine was broken in and dyno'ed with a carbureted intake and a 750 Holley prior to being installed in the car. The other dyno numbers are rear wheel from when I had the SCT chip tuned.

Point taken on the relatively crappy value of these cars. I'm sure your customer was about as happy as I'm going to be to lose a bunch of money on the car. I know what I have in my car. I'm not delusional - I know I'm going to lose my ass, but at some point you just have to cut your losses and move on.

Hence the "Or Best Offer". Hindsight being 20/20, I should have never bought and/or built this car. I could have put roughly the same amount of money into a 60's era car that I would have some chance of getting my money back out of. I was young and dumb and just wanted an LX coupe. Lesson Learned.

This is an opportunity for someone to get a really nice car for less than it would cost to build it - especially if you were to have to pay someone to build such a car.

If anyone is interested, throw a number at me. The worst I will say is politely - "no, but Thanks".
