This is also the car in my profile pic.
It was a theft recovery when I bought it with 85k on it. The driver's side rear quarter was replaced sometime before I bought the car, as it has metallic dark blue paint.
It needed rebuilt around 89k due to rod knock. I built the motor with a stock 10/10 cut crank and re-sized rod sourced from Mike Christiansen in St. Louis.
Recent tires, battery, plugs, plug wires, front brake pads, serpentine belt. Has a fairly minor oil leak from what seems like either the valve covers or somewhere on the front cover. Steering column is just starting to loosen up at the usual G-body spot, and of course the headliner needs to be replaced.
Oil pressure is around 17-18psi hot idle, around 40 psi on the highway at 65. Engine runs great, The trans shifts ok, especially on the street, but on the track it seemed to be sliding into 2nd and really needs a rebuild if the car is to be run hard again. Due to the resistor box for the injectors, the car won't want to start when hot unless you flip a switch to richen it up temporarily.
The worst part is obviously the rust. The doors, rocker panels, and quarters are all pretty bad. The driver's side floorboard is starting to rot out also. There's a rip on the driver's seat.
It ran consistent 11.90's several years ago at the Nats in 90 degree weather. It has run a best of 11.77@116.1mph with a 1.61 60ft at 23psi of boost. Its currently quite detuned to 17psi.
Mods:
TA-49 turbo with PTE .63 housing
200/200 GSCA club cam
'LT-1' valve springs
Powerstroke FMIC, 3" aluminum piping
72lb/hr Siemens injectors with resistor box to bring impedance up to stock
MAFT Plus and Extender Extreme chip
3" LT1 maf in blowthrough
hot-wired Walbro 307 pump
Adjustable FPR, forgot the brand
160 t-stat
ATR 3" stainless 1 into 2 exhaust
3" stainless downpipe
RJC Powerplate
Driveshaft loop
Really old Kirban knock detector
Pats 3k lockup stall converter, seems to actually stall around 2.8k
Bilstein shocks
"Cargo" rear springs
Extra set of wheels with Hoosier slicks, maybe 60% life left
Has a bung for a wideband O2, I used to have an LM-1 on it.
Looking to get $4500 for it, car is located in Mahomet, IL.
