 I have decided to sell my car as I am purchasing a real eliminator and cannot store two cars. It is a great driver quality car that I have done alot of work to and stands out everywhere you go and gets lots of attention. Originally a 351 auto M code car. The engine is a 302 crate motor and is around 5 years old, and the paint job is about 10 years old. I am unsure of the exact mileage but I would say less than 10,000. The paint is not perfect but certainly looks nice and has no major flaws. The chrome/body trim is nice, but has some pitting but for a driver it is fine. Car is very solid with little rust, one blister on passenger door and one on trunk lid nothing major. The car is very reliable and can be driven anywhere. It has slotted front rotors and power disc brakes up front (new.) Has brand new ceramic coated headers and mild flowmaster exhaust. The car had a c4 automatic transmission when I purchased the car, but just this summer swapped a 4 speed close ratio manual transmission into the car. If desired I will include the c4 automatic transmission and parts with the sale. During the 4 speed swap I installed a Mcleod shatterproof bellhousing, Mcleod flywheel, brand new Mcleod Pro ceramic/organic clutch (up to 500hp) brand new mini starter, new throwout bearing and pilot bearing.  Has a Edelbrock performer intake and 600CFM carb. Engine is stout for a 302 runs and starts perfectly, it isnt a 11 second car but it does pretty good for a 302 especially with the 4 speed. We installed a hurst shifter with brand new linkage during the transmission install. I purchased the 4 speed transmission from a gentleman who rebuilt it 2 years ago and used it in his drag car. Internally the transmission looks great but the third gear synchro is a little worn causing a slight grind going into third gear, but it does not effect the function. Painted the rear leaf springs, rear end housing, ladder bars, driveshaft, transmission, and bellhousing so the underside of the car really looks great in gloss black. The car has a actual eliminator hood scoop and rear spoiler. The interior looks great on this car as I have put some work into it. Just this year I put new vinyl on the steering wheel and wrapped it with a very nice leather wrap, new burl wood console insert, new visor chrome/hardware, new sill plates, new seat latch levers, chrome visor hardware. I hate to sell the car because it is a very nice car, but someone else will truly get the chance to drive it and enjoy it as much as I have.
