Thread: Barn Find

Tweet

I found a 1975 Pontiac Firebird with a glass front end,Dana 60,tubbed.ladder bar set.
I don't know that much about the car.
I was told that they where trying to go drag racing in 1987 and this is the car they built.
There has been racoons living in the car.
I will post pics. when I get a chance.
The car will be called "The Basket Case".

Sounds like A cool project,How much did you pay for it,Are you going to finish it or part it out.I bet the inside smell's real nice

I know were a 1980 regal with a V8 all stock is sitting . Its in a garage that the door will not open do to side post damage . Its been there for around 16 years . The guy keeps telling me one day he will give the car to me . And I keep telling him I will fix the garage post so we can get the car out . One day

Dave,no drag car.
I am going to keep this on simple.
Stroker BBC 496.
4340 rotating assembly.
Forged flat top pistons for pump gas.
I have set of 781's that I have about 30 hours of port work in.
The heads where for a customer and he has never picked them up.
I have going to run a hyd. roller cam that will be done in the 6,000 to 6,200 area.
I will run a Victor and a flowed 850 double pumper that now flows 940 CFM.
I also have an old N2o plate system I will be bolting on.
The goal is 525 hp on pump gas.
The wheels have a weird off-set.
It now has 32x14x15's slicks on it.
I think I will try and run 29x15.5x15's on it.
400 turbo tranny with a 4,500 stall.
Along with a 4.10 gear.
See it really is a street car.
Is it time to eat yet??

Thats a high 9sec street car NO chance of beating that car with my 355 Monte .

I have to be able to "hook" the car up first.
If it runs in the mid 11's on the engine and high 10's on the bottle I would be happy.

ERIK,I hope you get some FABREEZ AIR FRESHNER from SANTA

What's even worse is I have it at the house and not at my shop.
My wife's comment was "It does not look near as bad as I thought it would".
That could be good and that could be bad it is really to early to tell.
