For Sale - Make 8-second passes for $35K

[Injuneer]

I'm in total shock....... Saturday, while driving to MD to visit my daughter, I get a call from my friend George Baxter, who asks me how much he can get for his 8-second, 30th SS Convertible. Turnkey package - Car with brand new 1,325HP engine, brand new TH400 tranny with adjustable convertor, spare parts like a couple of 9-inch center sections, spare Vortech blower, enclosed 26-ft trailer and 2001 Suburban 2500 tow vehicle. Simply tow it to the track, and start making mid-8 second/160+MPH passes.

After further discussions over the weekend, turns out that financial needs for one of his businesses require that he raise cash fast, and this is one way he is going to do it.

I was afraid he was "giving up" on the F-Body, but the latest "alternative" plan involves selling possilby just the engine and trans, trailer and tow car.... keeping the body for a future project.

I've got to put the pricing together for the various options, and will be listing this stuff on all the popular F-Body boards, so this is just an FYI for anyone who might be interested in a total, turnkey package that would likely exceed $50,000. I will be the prime contact on arranging any deal.

Man that car is cool.

Whoever buys that car better take good care of it (even though it's built for drag racing). If I had the money, I would buy it in a second. It's a shame that he can't keep his own car, I know he has probably put a ton of money and time into it.

woah.

i think i'de sell my house before i sold that car.. especially if i built it.

Fred, its got your name written all over it....

Maybe Kevin will buy it?

OK.... here's the deal. Complete 1997 30th SS convertible, as raced in PRO/Edelbrock Xtreme Street class. Motor and trans fully rebuilt in last month. You need nothing else to make 8-second passes (except an NHRA "competition" license). Includes a 26-ft enclosed trailer, so you tow it to the track, and drive it.

383 Dart Iron Eagle block, fully CNC machined for weight reduction. Brodix 10X heads. Engine management by MoTeC (at least $5,000 in MoTeC equipment including M800 computer, IEX 8-channel ignition driver, "mini-dash", extended data logging, wide band O2, driveshaft rpm sensor, etc - the list goes on), $2,000 custom-made 2" step headers, Vortech X-trim with huge, custom water-to-air intercooler (runs approx 24# boost), custom solid roller cam, shaft rockers, coolant lines to siamesed exhaust ports, full crankcase evacuation system.... in short the absolute best parts, engineering, machine work and assembly money can buy. All assembly, tuning and dyno work done by Second Street Speed, Perkasie PA. Go to the "authorized tuners" list for MoTeC, and you will find there are very few, including names like Kenny Dutweiler, along with Bill Hunsberger of Second Street.

Engine dyno shows 1,325HP SAE corrected. Chassis dyno shows 1,000+ RWHP.

Trans is a custom built TH400, just upgraded with a ton of billet parts.

Rear axle is Moser 9-inch, with light-weight bolt-thru center section, gun drilled axles.

Wheels are Bogart P1 Billet SS.

Front suspension: Addco springs/shocks, suspension travel limiters, Mark Williams light weight brakes.

Rear suspension: HAL/QA1 shocks, 94 Formula springs ( - at least my springs have made an 8-second pass), Full Spohn LCA's, relo brackets, custom torque arm, Mark Williams brakes, Wollfe sway bar.

This car pulls a 1.31 60-ft, and will go 1.2x easy with a more aggressive launch.

Probably a lot of other stuff I forgot.... go to this link and look over the pictures:

I think that if he needs to sell it quick, an ebay auction would be the best way to go. Almost a guaranteed sale there.

What all does the 35k include?

One complete car - roughly as described above, and with everything shown on my photo page. In essence a car ready to make a full pass... just add C-16. One 26-ft enclosed trailer with winch, built-ins.
