It's a 2010 cc with about 500 miles on it since new, 78mm crank shaft counter weighted and balanced,

This is a really high end power plant and the owner has suggested that he would be willing to negotiate the price of the car
with a lesser motor installed so he can keep this engine for his next project.
If you like the car but dont want the hot engine...this can be arranged and a sizable amount can be knocked off the price of the car.
Clean title and current tags
Headliner is clean and in good shape
Visors are new, glass is excellent
Floorpans are superb and very clean on this car.
Super solid!
Back up top for a second... damn she is clean!
Now hold your breath and lets go below...very clean and dry under the engine
and the chassis is obviously very well done
With the big motor in it, the heater has been omitted, but the factory piping into the body is present
and with a stock engine with heater boxes, it could be made functional for those in the colder climates.
Chassis looks superb!
Wow!
Narrowed front beam is adjustable for ride height.
Disc brak install is very clean and stout and the dropped spindles get the nose down even lower.
Support rails and jack points are rock solid and clean.
Always garaged and kept out of the elements.
OK...time to get a little picky and find the pimple on the face of the beauty queen.
Looks like the rear apron has had the exhaust cut outs opened up just a little wider to accept the fat tips.
Ahain...just being a picky bastard here...edge of the metal in the engine room here is a little buggered.
There is a touched up scratch on the drivers front fender that is noticible if you look super close
There is a small ding in the passenger side front quarter as well.
The paint finish as you can see in this pic has a very slight orange peel. It looks worse than it is in this image, out in the daylight it looks
spectacular, but if you really wanted a glassy mirror finish I suppose you could cut and buff this to that flawless shine.
I must say that the bodywork on the car looks great though...it was well done.
Putting my nit-picking aside I have got to say that this is really a sweet looking ride and that
the extent of detail and depth of the restoration is far better than the majority of what we see roll through here.
It is not without fault, but I would say it is an easy 9 out of 10.
Its a car you can be proud of.
