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.

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.....

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

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..

It is one helluva deal, IMO. Here is a link to that 514 I posted about.

http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9287

Global West and TCP makes tubular CA's + coilovers for that car. Some parts are not listed on their sites.

If you change your mind, you can always sell it to me
