Does anyone know this car? It has a 5.7 with a custom 6spd trans. Located in Calgary.

 

I dont know it, but i have had my eye on it forever...
it first started with a guy trying to sell it for 10grand, then i guess after a few months he got sick of it and sold it to dealership sorta place
now there selling it for 8000, i believe...
oh its not for sale any more... awww.

 

My buddy bought it, he is trying to find some background on it.

 

yeah i dont have a clue, but i always said if i had 8 grand that would be the car i bought, with my 18"s mmmmmmmmm...

 

I bought my car in Jan last year. If that car was available then I would have bought it in a second. I have been watching it in the auto trader for a while.
So does it kick butt with that 6 speed or what?

Hi,
I am the guy who bought the car. Thanks for the input on this, I will let you know how she runs. I am picking it up this weekend.

 

you didn't test drive it.

 

Nope, living this far north we have to take some chances. I did however get it appraised and inspected. Here's the deal. The motor was rebuilt from oil pan up, transmission and rear end are new, approx. 5000km on the drive train. New paint, shaved door locks with the pop actuators. (Not sure what they are called.) The appraisal came out to 15,000.00 for the drive train, 30,000 to build the car. So for 7700.00 it was hard to let it go.
Holden Rear End, 5.7 with Edelbrock Fuel Injection and Aluminum Heads, Viper Spec 6SPD Tranny. I am new to the Chevy scene so I am not sure what all this adds up to in spec's but I was willing to take the risk.

 

SWEET

 

So Swweet I hope

 

So I have got the car finally. The 6 Spd trans is pretty impressive. The Edelbrock fuel injection I am sure would be if I could only figure out how to
tune the dam thing. Dynamax Exhaust is ok but I am Flowmaster fan. The body is pretty messed up though, dents and dings everywhere. The paint looks like it was done by a 4 year old kid. The car was a burgundy, then pink go figure, now of course Green. The color wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't done such a crap job on it. So I guess I am hunting for a good body shop and someone who can tune this thing as I am a little ignorant when it comes to playing with the fuel and spark managment.
Here are a few pic's.

 

think your paints bad , i dont know how clear this will look but if your at my car up to 5 or 6 feet away it looks like some one used a roller to paint it

 

what year is that?...

 

Mine? 87

 

still seems like it wasnt such bad deal

 

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about the price I paid. The body was made out to be better than it was though. "Just needs Paint". But as a brother of mine put it there are three things when buying an old car, Drive Train, Body and Interior and you will get one or two out of the three. So I got 1 out of three and for the price I paid its a good start.

 

yeah now my car neeeeeds paint... its faded so bad my hood is white... but my car is black
hmmmm hahaha
yeah i was eyein that car for a while
the first guy selling intialy wanted like 11500 for it

 

That paint is getting bad, hopefully you don't need alot of body work. I did a search on the net after I bought it and found the guy who was selling it.

I wanted to talk to him to get some background on it but his cell is out of service.

 

yeah, very litte body work and no rust so it wont be to bad..

 

Hey Jtufts, I know a guy who painted his farm trucks with a paint brush. From a distance it didn't look to bad. Hahahahaha
