Hi everyone, first off, let me say this, this is a very well built over the top twin turbo Trans Am clone, please read the content of this add completely, or you will miss out on what sets this apart from most other builds!Please note that at the end of the description there is a parts list With a bunch of race parts for the car that I will include if the buyer pays the buy it now price!!!! Also there is a link to a video with over 125 photos and 3 links of the car in action! I am 60 years old and I have been building some pretty crazy cars for 40 years, I am an experienced welder, fabricator and painter, this car has been my pride and joy but I am about to retire and this car does not fit into my future plansso I must let it go,I have owned the car for 15 years, two years ago I built a 416 stroker with twin Precision ball bearing Front mount turbos, It currently puts down just shy of 900 hp to the wheels @15 pounds of boost on 93 octane pump gas, The turbos spool insanely quick, there is almost no turbo lag what so ever! The car was tuned at big 3 racing, even the boys at big three commented how wicked quick the car spools! The motor however will easily handle 20+ pounds of boost, I built this to be a realistic streetcar, it handles excellent, it rides nice, it’s quiet with its complete stainless 3 1/2” exhaust system until you hit the exhaust cut outs that exit behind the front tires! It will get 17 mile per gallon as long as you keep your foot out of it, you could drive this car across the country if you chose to do so, it is a purpose build car, and it’s purpose is to do whatever you want it to do, The car is silky smooth at any speed, you can have a conversation with your girl or buddies inside without screaming,It has a stock size fuel tank that holds 16 gallons so you can actually go places with it! And when you’re ready to go to the track, it’s ready for that as well, I have enclosed a picture of it launching at the track and also a video of it breaking the tires loose at 70 mph! So when you hit the fun pedal on the street you are in for a ride! first trip down the track with this set up it ran a 9.6 in the quarter-mile, and a 6.0 in the eighth, and there’s a whole lot more there! I have over 120 K invested in it and that does not include my labor, I have almost every single receipt for the car, it was appraised by a licensed professional appraiser at 100 K, That appraisal will come with The car, I also have probably close to 1000 pictures of the build that I will put on a jump drive and give to the new owner as well. Since this car was completed, I have gone to 54 car shows, And I have come home with 54 trophies! Just check out the photos in my garage, every plaque and every trophy is from this car ! I have shown it four times at the Pontiac nationals, it has gotten 3 -1st Pl. and 1 -2nd Pl., it has gotten I think at least seven best of shows, and it was also invited to the Sema show, The paint is absolutely gorgeous, it is house of kolors candy lime candy apple, there is nothing like candy apple paint when the sun hits it, it pops like crazy! It has Trans Am stripes that are ghosted in, they disappear when you look down the car and pop when you look directly at the stripes or when the sun hits them, I have put 7000 miles on the car since it was painted, and approximately 1700 miles on the new motor, I build cars to be driven, other than one small ding and a couple of small scratches that I would have to show you for you to see them, the paint still shows excellent, now to the good stuff, and I am sure I will miss a bunch of things because there is so much to this car that I cannot remember it all, Let’s start with the drivetrain because that’s what everyone wants to know, it is an ls 416 stroker, The bottom end was done by Mike Janis from Jan Cen racing engines, if you don’t know who that is, look up who won the 2018 world NHRA ProMod championship!
