"I HOPE". Has Fenton rims, tow tabs, scatter shield, and driveshaft loop.
Has a M22 in car not sure if it is original, BS coded twelve bolt.
Interior is a 10
Body is a 10
Paint old laquer= 5/6 good from 20'
Headlights still work!!!

Yes from what I can tell, 6K tack 3/8'' fuel line. second owner said it was. Also the speed shop that took original motor out is still in business. They said original motor was hurt but fixable. It was given back to owner of car. He sold it cheap:( Car was raced very early on trying to get old pics but don't wanna bother old owner yet. Car is a day 2 racer.

That is so funny you say that I took pictures of that area but they are dark. The hole in the DS inner fender for the rs stuff looked funny. Owner told my buddy some stuff was taked off early and put back on later. Maybe that was one of them. The olnly thin done to this car since my buddy got it was take off tow tabs for good pics.
How it the tank mounted wrong. Please teach me a thing or two.

Nice car, love the looks.

Could it have came with radio delete?
I don't see an antenna, unless the antenna hole was plugged at the repaint.

Looks like a 20k car(real world price in todays economy) ,maybe a lil more ,its got some things to change around a bit( throw the hot rod stuff away), but over all it looks like a nice car to put back to stock..lo ballin a lil because of the paint not being good and the wrong engine..but still a nice x22 car to fix up for sure..what did he pay for it and what can you buy it for??

Along with the strange mounting of the vacuum tank....

Image


Looks like the windshield washer mounting holes have never been used on the passenger side inner fender well.......might want to inspect the RS system further to see if it was factory or added later in the cars life...More pics if possible like the reverse lights the inner braces of the tail pan to the trunk floor, vacuum hose rubber bushing at the firewall below cowl tag towards driver side fender....The radiator looks like it has been changed out also....Still looks like a nice car....15K to 20K Max imo

Things that would add to the purchase price/value.....Original motor! (would seal the deal) and add to the value 5K or more.....If the tranny checks out as original to car and a M22 add another 3K+.....Other original equipment that may come along with the car add value accordingly original dizzy +1K original alt +1K get the idea.....subtract for each componet that is not there and the more that is missing the more it may have left the factory equipped differently then it is being represented to you......Looks like a little more homework is required before pulling the trigger.......

The DS inner fender had to be replaced the hole for the bracket that goes thru inner fender is butchered.. I think it may have been hit, the lower spoiler has a old stockburger chevrolet sticker. The reverse lights are good, when I seen inner fender well I went right back there to look. The harness holes in trunk for reverse lights in the exact same spot as my brothers PC.
I will post some more pics tonight. I will start with cowl tag and make sure vin matches up with it.

What tach should be in it?
Thanks for all the insight ..... :thumbsup:

It's missing the headlight washer pump on the wiper motor and has a SB radiator and shrould. I agree with the Vacuum resovior I think some one added the RS parts later in its life. I dont see the relay for the ZL2 hood-does it have the correct accel pedal lever and switch?all popular add ons, nice place to start, I wouldnt kick it to the curb
my .02c

Can someone tell me if the master cylinder on that car looks correct, my l78 has the same one but i assumed it was changed because it didnt look like the original one on my 325hp 396 car.
