All the above parts were bought new,
I've owned this car since 1981 and my
father was the original ower and it has
never been driven in the rain! I have
all the original parts, ex. exhaust
system from the manifolds back and
the torque converter!
This car will run in the high 10's w/
slicks only NHRA rules state it must
not run faster then 12 seconds with
out a roll bar, drive line loop, and
trans blanket! I have $32,500
invested, the motor alone would cost
$12,000-$13,000 to replace alone!
The interior is in mint condition! No
one has ever placed their foot on the
floor mats, the car has never been
parked in the baking sun, or driven in
the rain! It has been placed on jack
stands when ever the car has not been
in use!
This is 1969-1970 performance in a
Limited Edition 1978 Corvette Indy
Pace Car only far better!
I just ran this car in Helena, MT. at the
Blast from the Past
Event. It ran an
8.449 @87 mph in the 1/8th mile.
That's at 3500 feet in elevation with
street tires in drive!
I've had three (3) different rebuilds in
this car, all done by George at Leader
Automotive, Inc. and this motor only
has 4,485 miles on it! |
