New to the club........
« on: March 26, 2016 - 09:30:02 PM »
my name is Christian, just bought a beautiful 1970 Challenger to share garage space with my 66 GTO, hope to have it home in a few weeks, here are the specs/build

 1970 DODGE CHALLENGER

This car was featured in Popular Hot Rodding Magazine and was built by South Coast Rides in Texas. The car received a full rotisserie restoration with the underside as nice as the top. The 416 stroker small block was built by Hughes Engines in Illinois and made 555 hp at 6,100 rpm and 552 lb-ft at 4,600 rpm while carbureted. The engine has since been converted to fuel injection. The car was previously equipped with an air ride suspension but that has since been removed for a QA1 coil over setup on all 4 corners. This is a well-sorted pro touring style car that goes as good as it looks.

email me for additional info - Shipping can be arranged easily as this is originally a US vehicle.

1966 GTO
http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af182/christian121069/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-03/2015-11/1CE85973-CD27-42E5-B867-886712028C80.jpg

1966 GTO I'll do my best to accurately describe this Goat.
This is a 1966 Pontiac GTO that is anything but stock with only around 10,000 miles since being finished.
it has had a complete frame off restoration to start.
Everything was blasted down to bare metal and anything that needed to be was repaired with metal.
To call this paint job glass is an understatement.
The original motor was pulled to make way for a Fuel Injected ZZ502 crate motor, backed up with a t-56 designed for the Dodge Viper.
Every interior piece was either replaced or refurbished.
It has ice cold vintage AC.
The suspension is Coil overs up front, with airbags in the back.
It used to be full airbags, but for performance the coilovers were added up front.
Disc brakes are on every corner.
American Racing Torque Thrusts 18"s in the back and 17"s in the front t add to the stance, but we also have the proper offset 18"s for the front if thats the look that is desired.
This car runs and drives amazing.
It is just loud enough with no drone.
Fast and smooth, not to mention reliable.
This car has been on countless cruises, car shows and even easily survived 2 Hot Rod Power Tours.
This car has had more money thrown at it than you can imagine, and will obviously be offered at much less than the cost of the build.
It does have some minor flaw, chips etc, as it was driven, but surely nothing substantial.
Overall this is a outstanding car that is as at home at the concourse as it is on the open road.
