Lakewood slapper bars
Cooper Cobra tires 295/50R15 (rear) 185/75R14 (front)
Car was built about 6 years ago as a street / strip car. Custom bodywork and paint and complete interior. Recent work to the car includes an engine fresh up (rings, bearings, gaskets), installation of a Tremec 3550 5 speed transmission, new dual exhaust system. Less than 10 kms on this car since engine refresh. Body is straight and paint is good. Color is Mopar Panther Pink. Some minor marks and scratches gathered from 2 years of racing, mostly on the lower front valance. No rust. Floor has been patched a few years ago, everything else solid underneath. Small crack in windshield on the lower passenger corner. Engine hold about 50psi oil pressure at hot idle. Transmission shifts smooth. Engine has never been dynoed but is estimated at aprox. 450hp. Car has run 11.90's at 114mph in the 1/4 mile. Rear seat was removed from car for about 6 years when it had a roll bar, but was installed back into the car. Car runs good on the street. Idle quality is quite good considering the aggressive cam, has never overheated on me, but like any other hotrod, I wouldn't try idling in traffic in July for any amount of time! Aluminium fuel cell is located in the trunk (NO GAS GAUGE).
Car is real fun, and really gets attention! Some minor things it needs for a safety inspection is a plate light, reverse light, horn and rear seat belts.
Car is titled as a 1979 Bobcat, title is clean.
Reserve is set much lower than the price of the engine build alone!!
