dead end cruiser

$12,000 in receipts for engine alone. Over $25,000 in receipts total not including all the new glass and body work. Car was rear ended last month. It still retains a clean title. No frame damage. Needs bumper pistons, rear bumper, tail lights and fiberglass work. Still runs and drives perfect. I even made a short video after I was hit to show that it still runs and drives fine (and its got some oats) asking $10,000

Ok I can't figure out how to post the video. If anyone can shed some light on how to do so I can show you how awesome this thing is.

Great pictures! I would be more explicit on the things you have done. I.E. "This is a so & so engine producing around 400hp, TCI 3pd trainsmission rated for 800 pds of torq. Suspension upgraded to VPB, ect... This will let your potentional buyer know what a great deal he/she is getting and that they will only have to do some body work and possibly add an AC. GLWTS

Thanks I appreciate it! I plan to give a detailed description as soon as I get the chance. The list is so long it's going to take done tone to get it together. Any idea how I can post my video on here?

The simplest way to post a video is to create a Youtube account, upload the video, then grab the link and drop it here.

Car specifics

'78 Silver Anniversary L82
72,000 original miles
clean title
The car was rear ended last month and needs a bumper, bumper support, bumper pistons, tail lights and some minor fiberglass work. The frame is still straight and the car still runs and drives perfect.
New oyster interior (carpet, seats, seat belts, door pads, arm rests, door handles - inside and out , dashboard, all gauges including rebuild quartz clock, steering wheel, glove box, center consul, rear storage bins, retractable rear deck cover etc..) entire interior, All new weatherstripping all the way around, all new glass (windshield, door windows and rear window) new window motors, new e- brake kit (still in box) all OEM parts no repro. Por-15 frame. New Bilstein shocks. New springs. New poly sway bar end links. New power steering valve, cylinder and lines. All new wheel bearings. New rear bushing kit. Stainless brake lines with DOT5 silicon fluid. New master cylinder and brake booster. New U- joints. Original rear end with original 3:07 gears. New gas tank (un damaged) new power antenna. New tie rods and ends. Dewitts aluminum radiator. New radiator hoses. New tranny cooler lines. The engine currently in the car I built. It was a turn key GM 350 crate engine with a four bolt main. It has a Comp Cams full hydraulic roller Thumpr camshaft with hydraulic roller lifters, Lunati VooDoo 1.5 aluminum roller rockers, Cloyes timing gears, RHS cast iron heads (painted to look aluminum) 64cc chamber 180cc runners, titanium beehive springs, Moroso 7qt. Oil pan with high flow oil pump, bow tie timing cover, ATI super damper harmonic balancer, CVS billet timing pointer, Edelbrock RPM air gap intake manifold, poly motor mounts, CVS billet swivel thermostat housing, milodon water pump, Holley 4150 street avenger 770cfm carb with electric choke, K&N drop base X-stream air cleaner, Edelbrock RPM street fuel pump, Summit inline billet fuel filter, braided lines with fuel pressure gauge and anodized fittings, MSD 6AL ignition and distributor, Hooker headers and side pipes, CVS adjustable high torque starter, TCI flex plate, TCI 2,500 stall breakaway torque converter, TCI street/strip TH350. All bolted together with ARP bolts. Broken in and dynoed on an engine dyno. 375hp @365ft lbs torque. With a simple camshaft change you can get over 400hp I just wanted it to sound like a popcorn machine. The Thumpr can did not have an aggressive lift so you can use the same push rods that are in there if you wanted more power. I also have a new AC pump and hoses that I removed just to keep it simple. The car also comes with the numbers matching original engine and turbo 350 transmission. I also have a pile of other original parts if needed. Since the rebuild I've put about a thousand miles on the car. The tires still have the nertles on them. I'm sure I forgot some stuff but the car is all there.

Here's a quick video, you can see the minor rear end damage, this was two days after the accident. As you can see this thing is a beat and still ruins and drives great

I forgot control arm bushings and ball joints..... I'm sure you all get the point though

I clicked on your last pic in Post #1 and it took me to your photobucket video. After watching you can continue to look at pics of the accident damage. So you did it right

Good luck.

Awesome thanks!

pnap88

is the car still available, and how would you feel about helping with shipping accommodations.
very interested in this car. also out of curiosity how repairable is this going to be.

dead end cruiser

The car is still available. The car is very repairable. I was going to take it to a boat builder for the fiberglass work. He said it would be no problem. As for shipping I have no idea. Where are you located?

Mikeski

Going by your profiles it is a 6 hrs 52 mins drive for pnap88 to your place in Nantucket. While I am in far west TX and it is a 38 hrs drive. All the great deals seem to be in NY/NJ area. GLWTS
