And take another pair of wheels with you to the track.

What's the asking price?

Transplanted mill. That car isn't even an SS. Might even run better on 103 octane Avgas.

First year for the 454 was 1970, in the SS 454.

You'd twist off the differential after every 5th burnout. You pay the bills by bounty hunting Hemi Cuda's.

Wicked good fun, for sure. A wheelstanding honey, for sure. Only good in a straight line though. It will corner on its doorhandles.

It had a 350, not an SS, nothing special.

A local, well regarded engine builder did the motor and driveline to the tune of $20k. Nice thing about the car is that it's clean, with a suprsingly good paint job, not a "10 foot'er" by any means. Interior is about 8/10.

The rear tires are way too skinny, we spun the thing out at 60 mph. Went down the highway ramp and got the front wheels of the ground (he was driving) I just about crapped my pants.

He wants $20K. Probably would take $18.5
