    I have a 1967 GS340 I'd like to sell. Price is $15,000. That seems fair to me for a car with this much work done. I know it would cost much more than that to get one to this point because I did it. Pictures will be added soon.

    Car was sitting in the back of a small restoration shop when I bought it with the front clip and engine removed. I had the shop owner fix the rear package tray and any rust around the rear window. The top of the car was also sandblasted at this time. Car was brought home and then worked on for about 1.5 years to bring it to its current state. Car t has been very reliable since getting it drivable last fall. It had been my primary vehicle for over 6 months. Listed below is the major work I did to it:

    New floor pans on the driver and passenger side.
    New front floor support.
    Rebuilt the entire suspension with new bushings, ball joints, etc.
    New brakes all around. Front was converted to Wilwood Dynalite calipers that fit behind the stock wheels.
    New Brake master and master cylinder
    Painted the frame.
    Sound deadener under carpet.
    New carpet. Converted to front buckets with factory mounts welded in and adapter brackets to allow 3rd gen firebird seats to be installed.
    New 3 core aluminum radiator and dual electric fans.
    Holley in tank fuel pump.
    Fully rebuilt GM LH6 engine. This is a factory all aluminum 5.3. I installed a new parts throughout. Only things I didn't replace are the heads, valves, rocker arms, crankshaft, and connecting rods. TSP Stage 3 low lift truck cam installed.
    Brand new Tremec TKO 500 transmission.
    MSD ignition
    MSD Atomic throttle body style EFI.
    Monte Carlo SS steering box (much faster and more responsive.).
    Transmission crossmember.
    Headlights converted to Halogen with relay.
    New Front grille.
    New wiring under hood. Wiring in car was untouched and in very good condition.
    New windshield.
    New sheet metal above and below the windshield. Car had typical rust around the trim mounting clips/screws.

    I also have the following parts:
    original engine and transmission to the car
    all trim
    7 original wheels with hub caps and beauty rings
    rear seat

    Known issues:
    Minor rust around rear fender lips and where the trunk meets the quarter panels.
    Speedometer is noisy when cold.
    Gas gauge will not read above 1/4 tank. It does respond to changes in the tank level but obviously there is not much resolution.
    Water neck leaks a little. It didn’t fit that great when I installed it so it either needs to be replaced or have the mounting holes opened up a little.

    I honestly didn't expect to see the car leave my family after all the work I put in to it but I’d much rather use the money to buy a boat and go fishing.

    You can drive this car home no problem for any distance.

    Would you be willing to sell it without all the LS crap?

    I took a car that had been sitting since the 90's and was slowly returning to the earth and got it back on the road. I realize the choice of engine may rub some people the wrong way, but at least I can go to any auto parts store and replace dang near any part instead of having to drive around with a pile of spare parts in the trunk to avoid being stranded. I built the car the way I wanted so that it could be reliably daily driven and am proud of what I built. Anybody who doesn't like it is more than welcome to buy the car and put the 340 back in. I certainly won't be offended.
    Having said that, I would consider pulling the drivetrain for the right buyer and reducing the price of the car based on what I think I can sell the engine and transmission for.
