Sold

I had plans of finally getting to this over the winter but recent events have caused me to off load my projects and most of my parts. My father has been unemployed for the past 2 years (ex gov't contractor) and has had a nightmare trying to find employment for a multitude of reasons. Long story short, selling off my cars and parts will help keep them afloat and hopefully weather the storm. I'm also getting ridiculously busy with my career and grad school, so it's time to take a break for a year or two until things settle down.

Most of you know this car very well, or at least have heard of it. I purchased it from Nate (natedog) back in 2009. It sat in storage for a few years until my parents bought a plot of land with space to do the work I planned. Here is a description of the specs:

Rear straight axle from Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with 4-link set-up
Driveshaft (custom built by Cleveland custom clutch)
1 set of wheels and tires. 15" gold Drag rims and 15" drag radials (1 slightly used, 1 needs replaced, 2 brand new)
1 Kirkey drag seat with cover
2 Kirkey seat mounting set-ups
2 Cam lock 5 point harnesses
Expo front knuckles with brand new wheel bearings and rotors

Complete 10 point roll cage
Newer Tie rods
Newer sway bar links and bushings
KYB GR2 struts on all 4 corners with coil-overs

Build pictures of when Craig built it:

Video's of the car

The upper core support has been replaced, but its only screwed down, and will need to be welded. Roof is starting to show signs of bubbling. Front windshield is cracked. The cage work and overall time spent on safety for this car is ridiculous - in a good way. I can't imagine what this would've cost at a shop but probably close to if not more than the asking price for the entire car. I also have a few extras that I will throw in with the car since I'm starting to offload the parts in my parts room. My plans were to go with a slightly more streetable turbo setup than the GT42 Craig was originally running in this. Chassis has been proven to run high 9s in the 1/4 mile.

I have $3300 into this and am asking that or best offer. I anticipate getting quite a bit of inquiries about this. As such, I plan to entertain PMs for the next 5-7 days and then take the best offer as I go through a list of interested parties. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer.

Pictures of the car as it sits currently:

As always, thanks for the space.

Thanks for getting the word out on this but I did get one of our own to put a deposit down and it will be leaving my presence next Sunday. It's a sad day but I just don't have the time and energy right now so it must go.
