That's a really nice build Fred. If I didn't already have 7 vehicles and a boat I'd buy it just to have another nice hotrod. And, you're a long way from Louisiana. I'm sure you'll sell it pretty quick at that price. Damned shame you can't get but a fraction of what you have in it.

Bump.

Make offer, I really want this out of my sight. Next option is parting it out

Fred, I know you don't want to hear this, but IMHO you really need to get it running. If you are not physically able, your friends at the speed shop could easily get it running. Considering the fact that you've likely spent alot of money at their shop, they might even do a house call to check the fuel system and see if it needs to be flushed.
Also IMHO, I think you should focus on selling it as a street/strip car versus a track only car. You are gonna have a hard time selling it as a dedicated race car. A street test drive in a super fast car like yours will sell it. The cam specs you listed seem plenty streetable to me. Gather all your extra parts to include in the sale(such as the original drivers seat,etc.)
I would advertise it on local social media sites. There are alot of middle aged guys that are making a good living that want a car like that, they have been wanting one since high school. You also need to raise the price up to it's true value instead of giving it away.
You may also consider targeting some potential buyers that are LT1 savvy, The Tick Performance guys, Golen Engines, Lloyd Elliot Engines, for examples.
I'm just throwing out food for thought my friend.

I know what you mean. That's a whole lotta car for sale with top notch everything. I was beating myself up because it's such a nice machine to pass up on. But, I just bought a '18 p/u truck which flattened me. I hope you buy it because I know you'll appreciate it.

Agree, worth more running. I've talked to Bill Hunsberger at Second Street. He only does ECM installs and tuning now. He would be willing to fix the fuel system if I trailer or flatbed the car to the shop, about 70 miles. He still has my tuning files, and could put together a laptop that would support the MoTeC M48Pro. If I could find someone local to buy it, I would have no problem setting a price that allows for the fact it's not running, and includes a 50/50 split an any costs of getting it running, beyond routine maintenance.

Lon, the the engine builder left many years ago and is working (I believe) for a national level racing/parts company.

Thank you!

When I call Bill back I was going to see if he had someone local who was reliable with a flat bed. When we were building the car he had someone take the car to Mufflex in Trenton so Denny could finish the exhaust.

I had a trailer. Buddy was storing it at his farm in Pennsylvania. He thought he was being transferred, had his house for sale, and helped me find a buyer from NJFBOA for the trailer. I had a Silverado to pull it, but gave it to my son and he trashed it.

Getting it running AND having the laptop to program and pull the data logs the MoTeC stores continuously would take away the two concerns potential buyers have raised.
