SOLD Selling my 1981 Monte Carlo LS that I have owned for 16 years and has been stored for every winter for the past 20 years when my brother owned it. Body is in excellent condition, one small rust spot near the passanger wheel arch. This was a show car. This was a project vehicle that i haven’t touched it in a few years. Brand new custom built engine designed by Edelbrock Engineers, had been driven only 1100 miles for its break-in period. Engine was built to run Nitrous, but the engine was still in it’s break-in period and never given a shot. I stored to tub and cage, but never finished due to lack of motivation. Tubbed to fit 14" wide wheels. Engine: (Over $8K in receipts) 350cui, bored +.040", Full roller valvetrain, forged crank/pistons, performer rpm intake, custom built holley double pumper, opitcal distributor, 8mm ignition wires, MSD 6AL Ignition + min starter, fluidamper, more Chasis/suspension: Narrowed rear-end, laddar bar coil-over suspensionl. Roll cage drivetrain: TH350 automatic transmission with competition transmission built 8" high stall torque convertor (3800stall), 9" Ford rearend 31 spline 3.50 gears with Posi. I had plans to continue this project this year with my father-in-law, but he just got a job in the Carolinas by next month is forcing me to sell because i will no longe be able to store. I was in the process of tubbing and have the frame narrowed. The only things left to do were run the brake lines, mount the fuel cell and fuel lines, driveshaft, and refill the transmission with fluid. Doors and glass and bumpers have been set asside for the latest modifications and are included. ran a 10.44 in the 1/4 with this setup: ![http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2583/244/6/1571464210/n1571464210_30096091_6689170.jpg](http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2583/244/6/1571464210/n1571464210_30096091_6689170.jpg) ![http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs441.ash1/24345_1239826327064_1571464210_30568138_185183_n.jpg](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs441.ash1/24345_1239826327064_1571464210_30568138_185183_n.jpg) ![http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs194.snc1/6532_1091422737067_1571464210_30250944_2238660_n.jpg](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs194.snc1/6532_1091422737067_1571464210_30250944_2238660_n.jpg) ![http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs174.snc1/6532_1091422697066_1571464210_30250943_1284365_n.jpg](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs174.snc1/6532_1091422697066_1571464210_30250943_1284365_n.jpg) as it sits now: ![http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs338.snc3/29497_1295593681213_1571464210_30686628_3887485_n.jpg](http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs338.snc3/29497_1295593681213_1571464210_30686628_3887485_n.jpg) ![http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs421.snc3/24345_1239826367065_1571464210_30568139_1794691_n.jpg](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs421.snc3/24345_1239826367065_1571464210_30568139_1794691_n.jpg) ![http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs421.snc3/24345_1239826407066_1571464210_30568140_6802263_n.jpg](http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs421.snc3/24345_1239826407066_1571464210_30568140_6802263_n.jpg) ![http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs421.snc3/24345_1239826447067_1571464210_30568141_4435666_n.jpg](http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs421.snc3/24345_1239826447067_1571464210_30568141_4435666_n.jpg) ---

First this is a great car, at a sick price…also, great seller second,what people choose to drive/build is there own choice, you posted a car that couldnt be driven at all, period…or registered. This is a great car that can actually be driven legally to a show or the track. do i like 4 cylinder cars? yes. Do i like this car? yes. i would bet this car sells even though yours didnt. Winter isnt the best time to sell a drag car. BTW my car will go tens for 5k, that includes the cost of the car, so whats the difference? i get 20 mpg and drive 80 miles round trip to work with awd. ---
