This would best be described as a Rest-o-mod (Restored & Modernized/Modified) The exterior is mostly stock, but everything else is up
to date. Frame-off restoration was done 1994-1996. The entire build has just
10,800 miles since put back on the road. I did not do the build, but 2 photo
albums FULL of pictures, and all documention come with the car. If you are looking for a fire breathing, tire melting streetrod... best keep looking. This one's got power... but it's more of a Classy Cruizer... than a quarter mile monster.

FRAME
Complete Frame off restoration. Frame is powercoated Gloss Black. 4 wheel disk power Brakes. 9" ford rear end, Rack & Pinion steering,

BODY
Painted in 1996... it still looks fantastic. It is a metallic "Midnight Green". It looks black in the shade, but you can see the green in the sunlight. A few chips if you look for them, but you can "shave in the mirror finish". New Glass (1/4 tint green tint) and all new rubbers. Tasteful pinstriping done by Hannukaine Pinstriping & Graphics. Even the firewall & fender inner wells have a mirrorlike finish.

INTERIOR
All new in the last couple years. J.B Upolstery in Port Angeles. (Empress
camel) to give it the vintage look. All new 12v. wiring by Ron Francis wire
works. The dash was a ONE-OFF build by Dakota digital. Chrome Original dash was sent to them, and returned with all Digital installed. Tach, speedo, fuel, Oil
pressure, voltage light, water temp, Odometer & clock. Electric 2 speed wipers.

ENGINE/ TRANS.
Both were "Crate" and were brand new with just over 10K miles. 350 chevrolet
short block (1994) mated to a 700R, 4 speed auto with OD. Pretty high geared
and overdrive only used on freeway. It has a mild shift kit ... and cruises at
65 MPH @ 2000 RPM. Edelbroch 4 barrel. Power steering, Electric fuel pump with "Crash fuel cut-off" for safety. Vintage Air installed, but compressor seems to be locked up... Could just be a relay... or at worst, the compressor needs replacing. LOKAR cable shifter. Walker 5 row, Desert Cooler Radiator... with 16,000 RPM electric fan.

One of the most documented builds that would ever find. There is aprox. $30,000 in parts (1994 prices) put into this build and about a thousand hours.
Trades that would interest me most are 1930's coupe hotrod... or a 1955, 1956 Chevy...but who knows?

Just another gm abortion.

I'd love to see all the receipts to prove where $30K worth of parts went. Right off the bat, "Too lazy to narrow a rearend so we used S-10 Blazer wheels out back to, uh, 'match' the two swap-meet imitation Center Lines" doesn't bode well for his claim. I say "swap meet" Center Lines because in the rod world, that style of wheel was pretty well out of use by the mid-'80s, and by '94 the horrendous billet trend had reached full swing. Lord knows there can't be more than $2,000 invested in the engine, since he pretty much admits copping out in that department with his "more of a Classy Cruizer... than a quarter mile monster" excuse.

Just the low effort seen in that one detail alone does not indicate a high-quality build worthy of anywhere near his asking. The shitty-looking original chrome and $3.97 Kmart special steering-wheel wrapper are really not helping the situation.

"I did not build the car." Nope, you're just the guy that got hopelessly fucked when he bought it.
