Umm.. Factory drums likely means stock rear axle. Nine times out of ten, that'd be a 7 1/4 rear.. No way that'll hold out against all claimed power figures. I suppose it's possible that the car was a V8 to begin with, in which case, there's a snowball's chance in hell that it's got an 8 3/4 back there. Oh yeah, $19,500? and the front and rear valance look like that? the grille's dented, the bumpers and lenses are rough, and the decklid has a panel gap you could drive a truck through. Still, the build itself seems thought out, and aside from some gauges I don't like, not a total hack job. I'd give him $8,000 if you got me drunk first.

It hints to the possibility of a rear swap;

Tires Cragers-14" front and 15

As far as I know they still used the 4.25 bolt pattern. Have you ever tried to find a 15" wheel with a 4.25 pattern?

you can currently get small bolt SS wheels direct in 13, 14, 15 and i heard tale of even a 16..yeah i didnt belive it either but i checked..and those do seem to have the small bolt "muzzle" to themas well as the "step" steel taped down to the center

when did eddy start making a "double pumper"?

as for the rear...well..i will say this..a 3:23 limited DOES exist..ive even seen 2:92? limited..was it strange YES...as for the 7 1/4 holding up..well...if you change the fluid often, dont drive it hard or at the very least the tires break free easy(read skinny n bald)..they will live a few years

It's a 4" wheel pattern, and yes they made 15" versions of them in the aftermarket.

This car could not possibly have had an 8.75" rear originally, since that did not appear under an A-body until 1966, and even that year they were relatively rare (4-barrel/4-speed cars only, if memory serves). Supposedly 50 were built in '65 for racing purposes, but they weren't production-line items. The 7.25" was available with both Sure Grip and a 3.2 gear, but it's a fragile axle by anyone's standards. Shock loads or any kind of serious torque will fail one in short order. Hell, the one under my low-mile Fifth Avenue was already sporting broken differential pinions by the time I got it, and that was just an overweight, low-power pig driven by the old lady that bought it new.

Regardless of all that, the rear wheels on this car have the 4.5" bolt pattern, so odds are it's got an 8.25" axle from a '73-up A-body. Still can't take much power or abuse, but it'll live considerably longer than the graham-cracker 7.25" axle with which the car was born.

I want to know about the engine's stroke. I mean, what's the final displacement? Just kidding; it's obvious this guy doesn't know dick about cars. The carb is neither an Edelbrock nor a double pumper, there's no mention of whether it's an original V8 car (being a GT doesn't mean it is), he doesn't give the dimensions of the drums even though he seems to think they're some kind of selling point, it changes from a 4-speed to an automatic then back to a 4-speed, etc.

$6,000 is a lot of money for this car. The only real expense here appears to be the headers.
