You ever sell this little hot rod?

just a piece of advice, a car that price should have some wire management in the trunk and interior detailed/vacuumed. GLWS

This is the car that never stops being for sale. I wonder why all the owners only have short time and decide to sell it. The last (2) have only had for what appears to be a month or two.

That air ride system in the trunk is a mess - if this is any indication of the qaulity of the rest of the work I would not be comfortable in purchasing it.

Engine compartment also looks a mess. Not to mention the interior likes like a car with 300k miles on it.

It's not hard to tell the quality of work done. But I think some people didn't look past the wheels.

The car is a mess

[drc270]

I wouldnt say the car is a mess. Just not worth near the asking price.
I would say its a good start for the right price.
My 69 is far cleaner than that and I would be tickled to get 30k.

Ok I retract a mess, it's a 25k car though

The second buyer (Tucker) didn't even drive the car once. It sat in his garage a couple months, and he sold it. I agree, there was a lot of half-assed stuff going on, no attention to detail. Fikse wheels and a lowered stance are like beer goggles to most pro-touring shoppers.

Hey guys
I bought the car from Tucker. The winning bidder on ebay could not come up with the funds. I have decided to keep the car, and finish it correctly. This car is getting bad press, and for good reason. Some things are done really well, and other mods where thrown together (airride). I pulled all the air-ride out and completely re-did it. Im debating pulling the engine and trans, and dropping in a LS7 and T56. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Im just looking for advice on next steps that would be recommended.

Thanks

Congrats on the Car, it's a very Nice looking 69

A few things I would do, if the funds were there.

-Drop in a LS3 or LS7 mated with a 6sp
-Aluminum Radiator with Dual Fans
-Relocate battery in the trunk
-Swap out the air ride with Coilovers
-Redo the Exhaust System with a set of Borlas or Magnaflows

Congrats on the car Matt. Don't let all the keyboard cowboys get you down on the car. If it were my car, I would drop in a new aluminum rad w/ fans, get the battery in the trunk, and clean up the engine bay to start. Relatively inexpensive upgrades and you will wind up doing it in the future anyway. I would also get a double pass radiator (inlet/outlet on passenger side) just in case you decide to go LS, the inlets where you want it. Drive the crap out of it for awhile, then decide if you want to do a motor/tranny swap.

[matt44golf]

Thanks Guys - I ripped ou the interior this weekend. Car is really solid, no rust at all, and its all dynomatted which was nice. It took all weekend but the wiring is all cleaned up. I ordered a DSE battery relocation kit, and on Tuesday Im ordering a ron davis radiator with spaal fans. We will get this car back in shape. Thanks again

[MuscleRodz]

We picked the car up from Matt today and he has decided to take the car to the next level. Look for a thread in parts for sale shorty.
