Long story short, sold my coupe 11 months ago, bought a S281E Saleen, wanted my classic back, sold Saleen, bought my coupe back today. Worth every penny.
Remember it used to be very fast with a bad 347ci, but not much to look at, now it is easier on the eyes and runs better than ever.
I sold it 11 months ago to a good friend, I consulted on the changes / upgrades as follows;
-House of Colors Silver, new quarters, door skins, trunk floor, cowl hood, bumpers etc etc....$reciept for $8K for the paint & body work
-Flaming River R&P (not impressed)
-SSBC 4 caliper front disc brakes (very impressed)
-Engine freshened, ring & Bearing and a CAM change from XE274HR to XE286HR, he took off my Vic JR and put on a *** polished Vic JR knock off, not liking that, will be changing back to my port matched Vic JR, polished wielend water pump, polished single wire alt
-C4 freshened, reverse manual valve body, transbrake (launched it off the transbrake on the street today full blast, nothing broke, good thing)
-new interior, dash, guages
-new custom stall (old was 2500, new seems to be around 3500)
-Two new shifters (probably will change the B&M to this radical race shifter he bought and never installed)
-Scat Procar buckets, not my choice, they will be going for a more race oriented seat (hint, hint - For sale cheap, no ship, come & get them)
-Killer billit steering wheel, again, not my choice, a little too blingy for me
-I still have two sets of wheels / tires, Vintage 50's will probably be for sale as I am going to continue to run the ET Streets
-Still has Currie 9" w Detroit true trac 3:73's, still has TCP uppers in the front, 5 leaf reverse eye in the rear. Love that Currie.....
When I sold it it was caged with the factory buckets and went 11.28's @ 119MPH. It will be the end of season before I get new times but I would venture to guess that it will have improved with the stall and cam upgrade.
Ignore the motor pics, it will be getting some Moroso welded valve covers, that polished *** crap intake will be gone, considering electric water pump & fan and that ugly air filter will be replaced with a tall K&N. I think I am going to have pro systems build me a custom carb so I will also have a mighty demon for sale....
Anyway. long winded but I had some fun today and my baby is back...
Pics as soon as my wife goes to bed and quits yelling at me to get off the PC....
