it was jimmy's almost bought then I backed out. he sold to a guy in California. he had the engine rebuilt not bored. cracked lifter bore to. he detailed the under hood very nice and put power brakes on it. i bought from him and it came back to ny. i didnt like the lack of power so i rebuilt it, with new piston and forged rods, and finally put headers on it, i also had it painted, i put white wall tires on it, had rotted tires, also put kyb a just shocks for nicer handling. i sold it back to a guy named Ray in California. he put a new vinyl top on it. car is about a second faster than a stock GS
oh yea forged piston plus i stroked it to 3.69 cause had to turn crank down for the better rods anyways . car went 9000 miles on a back of a trailer lol
I believe Ray had it rebuilt again as well not sure what happened . I know he has a ton of money into it and is a really nice car . Has driven up to my house a few times now .
i had put Toms rocker arms on it, and rocker arm broke on Ray, also the rear main was leaking a little with the neoprene seal i put on before knowing better, i told Ray to use the best brand rope seal now holding up good. He bought my yellow car after the beige one and likes that yellow 425 stroker 446ci better. yes its a very nice car. the guy i bought from paid 21,000 and he put 8000 dollars in it, i put another 7500 8500 can't remember and don't want to either if you know what i mean lol. in it after i got it. Ray put another 7000 in it mostly having the engine done again and the new top. another tidbit the heads were already ported on it when i got it. some one father down the line did it, and they did i nice job too, they were flowing 220 cfm when i had them tested.
first one was more a freshen up, kept stock pistons stock bore. second one was complete with forged pistons, bored 21 thousands longer stronger rods, small stroke increase, balanced and solid lifter cam. 3 rd one more freshen up, fix leaky rear seal, put ken bell hyd cam in it, also put new bearing again, and rings i know it didnt really need.
Ray needs to write a better ad lol. He wanted it dyno before he got it, with my camshaft and not the ken bell cam he put in. 355 HP @4500 rpms and 458 TQ @3700 rpms. should run high 13 teens. not bad with a near stock idle.
