This is just tentative at the moment, but im thinking about selling my coupe. I want to get out of some debt but i am by no means desperate to sell. I love this coupe and wont let it go unless the price is right.

Ill list as many specs as i can think of.

Body - Paint is 10 years old but is in excellent condition. I dont think it has ever been driven in the rain. It is 2pak Tropic Gold with clear coat. There is 1 rust spot on the rear panel beneath the window. Its about the size of a 50 cent piece. THATS IT BOYZ!!!
The chrome is really good and the body is straight.

Interior - Dash crash pad is cracked. I have had an Autometer Speedo and Tacho put in place of the original speedo/tacho so it sits in the dash. Seats are black and very nice. Door trims are nice. I pulled the headlining out of the car because it had a few holes in it. Im going to get a repo 1 from ebay. Well, if someone offers me the cash i want, then they can do it. If not, ill get it put in!

Engine - 514 stroker, forged pistons, H beam rods, big sump, sonic tested block, DOVE heads with a bit fair bit of porting, 12:1 comp, head studs, stainless valves, roller cam, Edelbrock manifold, 850 holley, 150 hp bar and plate nitrous system.

The car runs very well on Premium. No pinging! As for the carb, it is a little small for the application, so i have been trying to source out a dominator and a new manifold. Im also looking into going a hidden direct port nitrous setup.

The nitrous setup has a fuel tank in the engine bay dedicated to the nitrous. It runs high octane race fuel for safety.

Transmission - C6, rebuilt, stage 3 shift kit, pro ratchet shifter.

Diff - 31 spline axles, detroit locker, 4.11 gears, disc brake.

The brakes are all new. New pistons, calipers and pads.

Wheels - Pro stars, 15X4's on the front and 15X10's up the back. Tyres are BF Goodrich and have done 150 klms! Still havent pulled a skid on these yet....

The car has external gauges and it has a menacing stance. Im going to lower the front as its a bit high for my liking.

People are gobsmacked by the car. If you dont like attention, this is not you car.

The car is currently in at the dyno getting some work done and power figures. Estimates are 600 flywheel hp naturally. Add another 200 fly for the gas. Good enough for a low 10 second pass.

Heres some pics.

I can email more on request.







Price - im looking for mid 30 thousand. Think its dear? Try and build a coupe with what this baby has for it. Give Trick and Manswetto a call and tell them you want an 800 hp motor. They will ask you for more than what i want for the whole car. Think about it!

I can be contacted on email at [email protected]

Hey Buddy,
I reckon about 30K would be about right. You've got about about 20K-30k tied up in drive line alone if it's done right. You never get back what you spent, but the way I look at it, if I was in the market fo another coupe, and I had the funda

Anthony? :P

Well mate i paid 20K for it. Im not asking 60K. Oh how the public schooling system has failed us.

Do you think $30 - $35 grand is expensive? Go and build 1 then. Dont forget me when you go so far over your budget that your missus leaves

hey squishie,

What kind of loser saves a link to a car he knows sold a few months ago? You seem to know the car very well, if everybody else thinks it's worth 30K, why didn't you the shrewd investor buy it for less yourself?

I'll take a wild stab i

Gday

Well my suggestion would be to keep it, it will only go up in value as I have been keeping an eye on coupes for a long time now. I have a XB coupe that Im now in the process of rebuilding and have come to the realisation that they are easier to se

Squishie, i simply put it up to see if i could get what i wanted.

Im sure your coupe is excellent. It would be 1 of those rust free 1's, factory V8, fatcory Manual, Factory air, restored to better than original condition. If time came, you would sell i

Hey Squishie, if a cars being sold and is not what they say, bring it to our attention, if it is, but the price is not what you would pay, don't buy it, but whatever you do, don't try and down someone else for trying to sell their own car. And if you l
