85 Firebird drag car, Magazine Project Car

85 Firebird. Rust-free body when I started the build in 2013. Raced at the end of 2014 through this weekend. Has about 290 runs on it.

You can see the entire "build" at www.ETDragRacing.com and www.DragRacingOnine.com under the title "Project 10-The Hard Way".

This is my 10th drag car so I know what it takes to make them consistent and reliable.
This one is built to be "slower than it can be". Small cam, rear gear is only 4.56. I wanted a car for Super Pro and Pro that would give fits to the fast cars at the finish line, it accomplished that.
Prints off 1.48 60' and 6.90 1/8th mile (10.80 1/4 mile) ET Slips like a copy machine.
Delay box is on a "Quick Change" plug in, run both brackets the same day.
Here are the basics:
Chassis/Body: QA1 coil-over shock kit, QA1 tubular lower control arms, Ed Quay Race cars front steering modifications and brake pedal/Master cyl kit, S&W subframe and roll bar, S&W adjustable torque arm, S&W 9" Ford housing with Strange aluminum enter section with 35-spline Strange axles and Strange rear disc brakes.
Aluminum dash, tilt wheel and Grant wheel.
QA1 rear coil-over shock conversion kit. Chrome-moly rear lower control arms. S&W panhard bar.
4 gal fuel cell and battery in isolated compartment serviced when hatch is up.
Elec windows, flip up headlights still work perfect.
Steel hood with struts and cowl scoop (no lift off parts!)
Completely rewired, MSD, etc.
Digital Delay delay box.

Engine: 100% new parts when I built it.
Dart SHP block, RHS 220 heads, Comp billet rockers, pushrods and small flat tappet cam (want another 100H? Add a small roller cam).
Edelbrock Victor Jr intake, 850, 650 Quick Fuel carbs and a 500 Holley two-barrel for 11.50 Index racing all come with it (that is over $1600.00 in carburetors alone)
4340 crank Howards crank, rods and forged flat tops.
Comp Cams belt drive cam, ATI Super Balancer.
DRE Kevlar engine diaper.
Hedman Husler competition step-headers with flat collectors for ground clearance.
NHRA/IHRA certified Collector Cables on headers extensions.
Super smooth and consistent engine. Oil samples takes every 30-40 runs, ZERO issues. Blackstone Lab reports available.

Trans- Powerglide, Ultra-Bell, BTE Pro-Brake, Kevlar band, High-Pressure front pump, roller bearings, Hurst CO-2 powered shifter.
Rear end. 9" Ford, S&W housing, new (42 runs) 4.56 gear.

Duplicate this car you will spend in excess of $25,000.00 plus about 200 hours of labor.

Buy it turn-key, up to date harness and shields absolutely ready to hit the strip the day you get it.

$17.500.00. Don't bother asking how low I will go, that's it. I have three drag cars and I would like to have more room in the shop but it really doesn't matter. Just putting it out there so it can be raced more by someone who will enjoy it.

Thanks to Third Gen for the opportunity to let you guys know about it.

Email me for more pictures of the build or with questions.
