I've been building "Dirty Bird" for about 16 months now and he can honestly say it's a true street car and guarantee to put a smile on your face when you finally get to drive it.
Every thing listed was installed over the past year.
The car was a California, Tx, Az car by what the paper trail says. NO RUST. Frame off, painted underside.
PS, PW, PB, RDF, AC,
It was originally a gold on tan ca, but was painted and color changed at some point and they did a great job but it getting older. It has a couple paint chips and cracks on the plastics. the hood graphics were cleared over but not the others and I replaced them with some aftermarket ones with plans on re painting the car but it's just not at that point yet for me. She still wins shows and I drive it. Just want to describe it 100%. She's not perfect but well on her way of being.
Basically EVERYTHING from the frame down was replaced.
Motor:
2000 LS1 aluminum 10.5:1 comp block motor (Approx 52k on swap) with a Texas speed V4 cam and DBL spring kit,SS long tube headers, new AC pump condenser and lines, fuel pump, cold air intake, MSD wires.(est 460-480 Hp at the crank)
Trans:
2000 4l60 just built with less then 100 miles. TCI flywheel TCI 3500 stall, trans co shift kit 7 clutch power PAC, braided lines to cooler and some other goodies inside it.
Rear end:
New 3:73 posi gears, seals and bearings, TA alum cover.
Suspension:
Front- Boyd upper and lower A arms, QA1 coilover shocks, new ball joints, tie Rod ends, steering arm,Hotchkis sway bar, all new bushings.
Rear- Hotchkis 2" drop leafs, fox shocks, Hotchkis sway bar.
4 slotted and drilled rotors and pads, Bearings and seals.
Wheels: 17x8 year one wheel with 275/40R17 firestone firehawk tires.
Custom solid exhaust system with new tips.
Notched subframe connectors.
Batt relocated to right rear in trunk.
T-Tops are C&C and added after according to vin tag. They squeak and rattle some but work just fine. New seals on both tops and car. Couple lite scratches.
Paint and Body:
I was planning on painting the car when I bought it and started building the car but it's just not that bad yet for me to dump another $7k into the price.
New grills and hood cable.
It's in good shape for a driver 8 out of 10 up close but for me that would be next on the list only because everything else is done.
The glass was tinted years ago it looks and has a couple rub marks and should be replaced soon.
It's the original windshield and it has some pitting.
New door hinges and locks,
Interior:
Original tan interior I had the seats custom covered, dash cap, B&M quick silver shifter, newer carpet, Am/Fm cd.
It's nice....
Only issues:
Speedo inop because it doesn't match trans.
Elec door locks, electric windows work but slow.
AC not charged
Few dings, chips, rubs, scuffs, scratches but still wins shows.
Good:
Extremely faster then original setup. Turnkey, handles like a race car, fresh build with less then 500 miles.
The only reason I'm selling it is to build another drag race car.
We are located in southern Oregon and would prefer a face to face pickup and payment but will work with any shipping issues.
(Buyer pays all shipping cost)
***It's is sold as is with no warranty written or emptied***
I'm sure I left out a lot more so ask any questions.
