Vehicle description
First and foremost this is a REPLICA. I have had several and this is by far the nicest, best looking, most detailed, and best driving example to date. The build started with an early (pre-merger) MidStates fiberglass body and chassis, built before the Shell Valley merger. The paint, panel gaps, and overall quality of this car are top notch without the squeaks, rattles, and other characteristics of lesser builds. The underside of the car is painted in most places and extremely nice as well. This car is well sorted out, has the best of everything available at the time of the build, and will turn more heads than most exotics. It is an absolute animal when you want it to be, but has really good street manners for a 600+ hp 427 stuffed inside a 2000 lbs car. Only selling because I bought a Daytona replica and one has to go. If someone buys the Daytona this car will be pulled from the market immediately. I have every receipt for this car, and a binder of build info, pictures, diagrams, etc. The builder of this car was over-the-top meticulous. I believe the build was finished sometime around 2004. From what I can gather I am the third owner since new. The car has 21,600 miles, but is much nicer than many examples I have seen with 3-4000 miles. It is titled as a 1965 Ford and has a clean TN title, titling and research of this in your state is your responsibility.
Now, for the best part, the drivetrain.
ENGINE- This car features a true, Serial #CSX495, all aluminum FE, Shelby motor. The engine has a Scat stroker crank, Oliver billet rods, Wiseco pistons, Edelbrock Performer FE ported heads, Edelbrock 427 victor Victor intake, and Ferrea stainless racing valves. A massive King Demon 795 carburetor sits on top of it all. The engine made 580HP/586ft lbs on pump gas. This thing sounds like a cross between a Nascar, a Harley, and a top fuel dragster and is extremely angry.
Transmission- Tremec TKO road race 5-speed transmission with mid-shift shifter position. Lakewood bell housing, Mcloed clutch, pressure plate, and hydraulic throw out bearing.
Rear End- 9" Ford, custom narrowed with Moser axels, richmond ring and pinion (3.73), and Strange Limited Slip differential.
Suspension- 4-Link suspension set up with adjustable Alden shocks and coil-overs.
Brakes/Misc- Wilwood disc up front, 1980 Trans Am rotors with Cadillac disc in back. Wilwood portioning valve, and Ford brake booster and master cylinder. All brake and hard fuel lines are stainless.
Appearance/Other- The car features 15" Halibrand style knockoff replicas (5 lug) with 235/60-15s in the front and 295/50-15s in the rear. The wipers, all lights, heater, and all gauges work like intended. The dash features an MSD timing control knob.
Negatives- Really not much to speak of here. There is no top present, a couple extremely small chips around the front of the car (maybe two or three extremely tiny), a bit of bolster wear on the drivers seat but really not much at all, the sidepipes could use a good polish, and the car is a 427 FE car so it"s a little tough to start when its cold.
NOTES- BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING, NO WARRANTY, I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS CAN BE EXPORTED, AS/IS.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS WELCOMED FOR SERIOUS BUYERS, NO TEST DRIVES, TEST RIDES FOR SERIOUS BUYERS WITH CASH IN HAND. NON REFUNDABLE $500 deposit holds the car for 14 calendar days. Payment in the form of Wire or Cash due within such 14 day period or car will be back up for sale.
