"Electra-Van 1000P
You are bidding on one Jet Industries Electra-Van 1000P. This vehicle was displayed at the 1982 Worlds Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee themed "Energy Turns the World". The vehicle is a 1982 Chrysler pick-up truck that was converted to electric propulsion by Jet Industries formerly of Austin,TX, only 30 of these vehicles were ever produced. The vehicle has a wheelbase of 9.58 ft., a curb weight of 4790lb, and has the capacity for a 1000 lb payload including two people. The vehicle has a General Electric EV-1 SCR controller. The propulsion motor is a General Electric d.c. motor, 37-hp series-wound rated at 2039r/min. The 1000p has a standard Chrysler trans axle with a manual 3-speed transmission. The vehicle has leaf springs and piston-type shocks, disc brakes in the front and drum in the rear.
This piece of EV and World's Fair history desperately needs restoring. There are no batteries with this vehicle. The vehicle has not been run in some time so it is not known what needs replacing to get the vehicle to operate properly. There is also quite a lot of rust on the lower part of the vehicle. The tail gate has been replaced with a Dodge tail gate which fits perfectly. The interior is in excellent shape and should only need some minor repairs and a lot of cleaning. Also included in this auction are an original Electra Van Maintenance and Repair Manual and two U.S. Army mobility equipment research and development command reports on the Electra Van 1000p and model 1000. The VIN# for this vehicle is : D14AN9S57190

Vehicle Description
General
When I was 15 years old in 1972 I read about this type of engine transplant in "Peterson's Complete Book of Engine Swapping No. 2" and always thought is was a very clever idea. That writeup was for an Olds 425 V8 into a Porsche 912. That book had been sitting on my shelf for years and when I reached 45 the itch was just to great to resist and I decided to build my own. I am a structural engineer who runs a software business but love to tinker with mechanical projects.
This engine swap is actually very easy to do. It uses a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado front wheel drive V8 and TurboHydramatic transaxle. The assembly is just as Cadillac designed it with performance modifications.
After removing the Porsche engine & transaxle it was a simply matter of building motor mounts, CV joint adaptors and axles, a custom radiator and exhaust system.
Fitting the package in
The Porsche shock tower crossmember and sheetmetal behind the rear seat had to be removed. I chose a Targa body because of the extra unibody rigidty provided to help when this sheetmetal was removed. The body is still very stiff! When the final drive & axles are aligned properly with the rear wheels the powerplant is located perfectly fore/aft. The engine fits low in the back seat area as can be seen in the photos. The C.G. is forward and above that of the stock Porsche.
The Engine
The engine is a 1970 Cadillac 500 cid block specially build by Maximum Torque Specialties of Wisconson. This is THE performance Cadillac engine builder. The engine has been slightly bored, decked, and fully balanced. A 472 crank was used for faster revving Forged rods and pistons are used, the very expensive Bulldog aluminum heads, pretty healthy cam with roller rockers and specially designed roller valve train. Roller timing gear & chain, high flow oil pump, and lots of other goodies went into building this engine. It pulled 517 +/- hp on the dyno. It idles a little rough and gives this Porsche a very suspicious sound BUT smooths outnicely right off idle! To keep engine area temperatures low I ceramic coated the exhaust manifolds in and out to direct exhaust gas heat from the engine area. I used the stock exhaust manifolds to keep it quieter under the luggage (since the engine is literally right behind you). A high torque starter, remote oil filter, Holley spread-bore double pump carb, and lots of custom billet stuff was also installed.When you pull that luggage off and your onlookers see those "Porsche 8.2 Litre" valve covers you'll grin with delight at their complete bewilderment. "What year did Porsche make this?" the unsuspecting will ask!
The Transmssion
There are only a few people that know about these TurboHydrmatic 425 Automatic transmissions. They are essentially a TurboHydramatic 400 with reverse rotation and a different valve body. These transmissions were also used in GMC motorhomes and so there is tremendous strength there and great aftermarket parts are available. My transmission was built to heavy motorhome specs, has a Trans-Go Shift kit, and is the VERY SPECIAL Switch-Pitch torque convertor system. For those of you not familiar, applying a 12V signal to a transmission terminal changes the converter from low stall to high stall. This gives great hi-stall off the line performance (and gentler idle effect) and exceptional pull when it transfers back to low stall. The +12V signal is provided from the brake light circuit. For more info just email me.
Final Drive
I used a 2:73:1 final drive. I tried a 3:17 ratio but the engine just revved too high at cruising speeds. With the huge torque of this motor and the dual range torque converter the 2:73 gears are great.In terms of getting the power to the rear tires, I have used Tubro Carrera CV joints because they are stronger and also allow greater axle shaft angles (because the axles are shorter then stock). Axles were custom built by Dutchman in Portland using torsional moment strength specs I provided. To carry the extra weight I've installed 30mm torsion bars. The ride is great and the car sits very nicely.
Please take note that the wheels are 7's in front and 8's in the rear. These are the largest size stock Porsche rims and tires that fit this car properly and all are brand new (and were expensive).
Powerplant Installation
After removing the shock tower and rear seat sheetmetal the engine just lifts up from below. The custom motor mounts use the stock corner engine mounts in the back with different biscuits. The front mount was CAREFULY welded to the tosion bar tube.
Exhaust
I've tried three exhaust systems and have settled on a MagnaFlow dual in, dual out muffler mounted in the typical Porshe location. 2.5" pipes are used. There is NO "humming" effect. Certainly headers were considered but because the engine is so close to the interior I think the noise would be unpleasant. Besides....the power and torque is pretty insane anyway. I like the quiet "sleeper" design.
Cooling
Engine cooling is handled by a specially constucted aluminum dual cross flow radiator. This radiator also contains the transmission cooler and uses two VERY high capacity fans. A high capacity water pump was also used.
Back in April I was having some issues with cooling and have since installed an oil cooler and fan. I can drive all day in warm So. Cal. street or freeway traffic and it will not overheat!
Interior
What everyone loves is the Hartman luggage engine cover. I purchased used Hartman luggage on ebay and my fantastic interior guys (Roberto's Auto Trim in Costa Mesa, CA) figured out how to cut, hollow and combine the luggage to make the cover. The inside of the cover uses marine "SoundStop" engine room insulation to keep the passenger compartment quiet and cool.....really! This car is very pleasant to drive.The tachometer was recalibrated for an eight cylinder pulse and the MSD tach adaptor makes it all work just great. The oil pressure, water temperature, and associated idiot lights all work as well. The speedometer is not hooked up yet.....I have a really clever commercially made adaptor that converts the mechanical Hydramatic speedo drive to an electronic pulse.Shifting is handled by a common Lokar automatic shifter and shifter cable. It mounts right where the Porsche shifter does and looks totally stock.I've had the seats redone and all of the interior carpet replaced. The interior is near immaculate.THERE IS NO HEATER. It can easily be done using a self contained aftermarket water heater (from Summit, Jeg's). I live in So. Cal and it never really gets too cold.
Summary
This project turned out just terrific. The powerplant package fits just great, it's a total sleeper, and people just can't believe it can be true.I am selling the car because my dream was to build one and I did it. I'm not a drag racer or a track guy. I just like to invent and build. The car is very nice to drive....and watch out when you put the pedal down! Interestingly the traction is superb....the car just launches.I had a hard time pricing this car. As you can imagine I've got a bit of money in it and a lot of time....but that time was very enjoyable as I planned and executed the design. I built this myself, mostly in my garage, but of course had help with welding, machine work, radiator, etc. A serious car guy will appreciate design and work it took to execute snd appreciate that they will have something completely unique.
Extras
Also included in the auction is a 1973 Porsche 911 Targa parts car that has a minimum amount of usable sheetmetal with clear title in my name. Also incuded is the domain name " V8PORSCHE.COM ".

Aside from the DLIDFIS (Dual Leading Ignitor Direct Fire Ignition System), carb conversion and headers, the engine is pretty much stock. Original engine came with 146hp so with the current mods I'm estimating the power in the 166-180hp range. This car is street legal but I meant for it to be my weekend racer and is a project that needs completion. I've done extensive body work to change the apparence of the outside including shaved door handles. Buyer will need to purchase the mods necessary opening the door via remote. I've also replaced the 2 rear side windows and rear hatch window with plexiglas windows for reduced weight. Interior has no door panels, carpet, headliner etc. It has a working dash complete with fuel gauge, speedometer, and 10,000rpm Tach. I'll be moving soon and unfortunately I can't take it with me.

"wow this thing is fast! well here we go i will try to describe this 1974 Porsche 914 as best as i can. First and easyiest description is FAST. This Porsche is set up full race . The car has been lowered,widened,and made super fast.This Porsche has been named the Forsche becuase it uses a fully racing built ford 2.3 liter turbocharged engine producing 250 horsepower@ 15psi boost. You do the math a car that weighs no more than 1800 pounds with 250 horsepower! The engine has had a fresh overhaul and idles at 1100 with 40 psi oil preasure.This Porsche has a full rollcage reay for your SCCA experiance,racing seats and five point seatbelts.This car is ready for the racetrack right now just needs a driver.This car starts up first crank every time and idles smooth.The turbo has no freeplay in the shaft whatsoever and spools up quickly.the clutch grabs very strong and transmissions (race built)shifts good, but needs a little adjustment in the the stick linkage.This car has been built right drives super straight and can go around corners like its on rails. The car just had a brand new set of tires. i personally think that if your looking get going SCCA here is a car thats ready to go that you can get under 10,000 dollars and have tons of parts availible to seriesly race not go broke trying to keep up your expensive racecar.this car does not have any logbooks yet. This engine i have been told is capable of 400 horsepower easy and this car was built right to be able to handle it. The car right now after driving it around for a weekend will put any corvette,mustang,camaro to shame 0-100mph.I was probably going this fast in about 10 seconds but the speedo cable is broken so i couldn't prove it. From some racing experiance in the past this car i could say has 0-60 times of under well 5 seconds. The Porsche will come with a clean title and you want to drive on the street will need only wipers,horn,and turnsignals. The car comes with headlights and tailights that work. This auction is offered to you at no reserve so highest bidder wins. I talked to a lot of people that are into Scca and to build a car like this i was told would cost about 15,000 dollars. Here you can get it for a lot less already built and ready to race.

Question & Answer
Answered On
Q:
Just as a side note, this car still does qualify for certain SCCA classes. It can run in regional classes such as SPO for cars otherwise unclassed. This is assuming the roll cage and other items of the car are up to snuff, I can't answer that for you. However, the ford engine alone does not rule out SCCA racing. It can also run Solo1 or Solo2 events as well, although SCCA frowns on calling that RACING for insurance purposes. In additional, it would make a fantastic car for HPDE events and track days. Mike
May-09-06
A:
This is the kind of response i needed thank you . i myself don't have any experiance with this kind of vehicles i normally only sell cars that are street legal
Q:
What have you done to the engine to get 250 hp from it? These engines came stock with 200 fwhp.
May-01-06
A:
i didn't think that these engines where ever in front wheel drive cars. I know for fact that they don't run 15psi stock. this engine does run 15 psi on a well built motor.
Q:
What SCCA class does it run in ??
Apr-30-06
A:
i beleive the person that i bought it from said it was the ep or fp production class, but give me some time and i will find out for sure"

Vehicle Description
Why buy a Pantara, Lamborghini Diablo, etc when you can own this ~2300 lb ~"Zero Hour" ~400+ HP RSH "Rod Simpson Hybrid" Spec Engine! ) "SUPER CAR " !!!! For pennies on the dollar ! This Magnificent, Geat Running V8 "Mid Engine" PORSCHE Sports Car with Porsche Alloy 5 speed OD manual transmission ! Rod Simpson states that one of these engines in his Porsche will go 0 to 60 MPH in less than 4 seconds (3-4 Seconds) and will get 30 MPG !!!! More important than that to me is this is a Very Durable & Very Reliable engine that can be driven daily on the street ! For Decades the Chevy V8 has always been the engine of choice for Nearly all "Street Rod Applications & for Good reason: Solid Dependabilty, Easily ubtainable & reasonably priced replacement parts, you can buy most anything you ever dreamed of or wanted for this engine ! <<<>>>. It Is the 'Real Thing"! The "Genuine Article"!! The "Real McCoy"... NOT "a want to be Copy" of Anything !!!! This is a Great Running & Driving car !!! Not a bunch of disjointed pieces with a big pipe dream that can never be built. Just as it sits this is a Vehical with "SUPER CAR" power to weight ratio that rivals most any street legal car ever built & is right now TODAY a car be driven & Enjoyed !!! Any car Buff that hears this Incredible car Running will give you the respect it deserves. & to top it off....WOW, an investment that you can Enjoy Right Now, What A Great Concept ! This is an Unblievably GREAT Find ! This entire car and fresh (0 hour) RSH Spec engine was STORED For 15 years (1988 thru 2006). The engine was run for the very first time when we completed the conversion about 3 weeks ago ! ! ! This Particular Wonderful Classic car has the Provenance that it was featured in "ANYTHING LTD." Manufacturer's "Full Page" advertisements etc in about 30 issues maybe more? of "European Automobiles magazine" (Previously PORSCHE & VW European Automobiles Magazine) and in at a couple of Automotive Trade/Car shows please see pictures. It was the very first car to be fitted with the Brand new (at the time 1988) 930 S / 911 style Radiator Venting Front Bumper & Rear bumpers and wheel flairs etc, similar to the earlier CHALON Full body kit but very updated and much more Agressive looking rocker ground effects. Complete with HUGE 911 TURBO WHEELS New Rocker Ground Effects, and vastly Improved (SALEEN flavor) roof side details... about 20 years ago the body kit alone was $1,800. plus installation and Paint (about $5,000 to $6,000.00). Also the High Quality "RENEGADE" V8 Engine Conversion / adapter engine kit, with double back Radiator high output electric cooling fan & switch etc, Very Trick Alloy Chrysler Marine Water Pump etc and with a Spec motor like this Engine is typically ~$8,000.00 and figure $12,000.00 to $13,000.00 with the labor it would take to complete the conversion. Figure another $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 for all of the upgrades etc. It has Adjustable KONI struts, 911 Adjustable Front Suspension, wheel hubs, Stainlees Steel Braided Brake Lines, Stronger Axles , Heavy Duty Clutch and Throttle Linkages, Super Comfortable PROCARO RACING SEATS, HUGE Approx $1,000.00 to $2,000.00 RARE PORSCHE TURBO ALLOY Wheels & HUGE (225X50 & 245X50) B.F. GOODRICH High Performance Tires, New Clutch cable 911 starter and 911 Racing Clutch, new electronic fuel Pump, filters and Fuel Lines, New Heavy Duty battery, Stereo, HUGE HOLLEY CARB, Holly Alloy Valve Covers and High Performance HOLLEY Intake manifold, Engle Cam etc. Included but not yet installed are the following: I have a set of brand new High Performance Chrome Headers complete with flanges and adapters etc , and a 7 or 8 quart Racing Oil pan & Oil Pump stand pipe etc. (the pan on this engine currently is a Chrome plated.) & I have a brand new complete Small block chevy gasket set (with exhaust and oil pan gaskets I will also be including at no additional cost to the winning bidder). To the best of my knowledge this is and has always been a Southern California Registered Porsche if you will notice the 1988 puchased (exp 89) operating sticker on the Original Custom Personalized "TF JAZZ" Licence plate. This Vehical was in storage from 1988 thru June 2006 and has not run at all since it's brand new engine was installed in 1988 until about 2 weeks ago (June 2006) . These mid Engine German Built 914's are fairly had to find these days Particularly Great California cars are so difficult to find these days... (California is the Home of the Most Rust Free, Desirable, Best Preserved & (unlike Arizona, New Mexico, Texas etc. no dead sun baked vinyl, plastic & rubber etc. due to ~120 degree heat (the inside of a car can hit 150+ according to my infared temp. meter & the same areas can hit below freezing, etc Cold Extremes also). Temperatures in our area typically run a very stable & mild 50 lows thru high 70's, the Greater Majority (nearly all) of the year. Humidity here is about zip as well as rainfall is almost non existant most of the time Which explains why cars from this area are the Most "Rust Free" most Pampered Classic Automobiles Money can buy and typically bring a 25 to 100% or more Value Premium for just that reason !!!)"PARTICULARLY ONE THAT HAS BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE FOR 15+ YEARS" ! We Californian's Love and pamper Our Classic cars ! This car was run with a 4 cylinder stock 914 engine for about 10 years, then for about two years it was run as a stock V8 coversion 914 ...about that time "ANTHING LTD." (A custom Porsche body kit Manufacture) approached my friend ( the original owner) of this car and said if you will let us use your car to help show off our new 930S/911 CHALON Updated body work conversions we will do the whole conversion for you. He agreed and as you can see the body conversion & it's original 1988 Beautiful Red Paint is still Breathtaking, especially for a car that was painted 15 + years ago, as the car was garaged since it was painted. After running the car a couple of years as a V8 He decided to install a Brand New ~400+HP "RSH" Spec. Motor in, the Brand new RSH Spec engine installation was about 80% completed when he got a HUGE Promotion that involved extensive traveling. With a couple other Porsche 914's and a few "High End" Motorcycles, he never had time to finish up installing the brand new Spec "RSH" ~0 hour motor in this car. in approx. December 2005, I purchased this Wonderful car and my Top Mechanic and ~30 year Dear Friend Mr Jim Zieger and I have been completing this every since and about 3 weeks ago we were finally able to drive this Magnificent Automobile for the very first time..... and I have to tell you the Car Runs and Drives Far Better than I have ever Imagined that it would. It's exhaust Tone is Incredible. It actually sounds Like a Great "Street Rod", a lot like a street legal funny car. the odometer says 12,677 miles that is most likely 112K as it is entirely possible the car could have reached that number in the fist 15 years of operation the bulk of it's miles were most likely put on when it still had the stock Porsche 4 cylinder engine in it. tach is not operating at this time I don't think it will take anything to figure out how it connects as the porsche also had a standard coil ignition systen so it probably just needs a sensor a wire contacting the points wire it should be a no brainer. I will have the speedometer cable re-connected in the next day or two there is nothing tricky about that as it just goes right back on the trans like a stock porsche. The New ~Zero hour (I have just started it a few times and have run a few erands locally around town just to help break it in very gently as this baby is Tight & Fresh & I feel drives a lot easier than a stock 914 as you can easily take out in second gear (which is fully syncronized)...my old 4 cylinder 914 used to have a hard time getting going even in 1st gear most of the time !!!!) The RSH Spec motor it is Completely Rebuilt late ~1968 Corvette equiv Chevy V8 (Approx 5.5 liter) RSH Spec. motor. (My friend opted for the RSH Custom Spec'ed ~68 Vette equiv motor because in the 1980's California Smog Law stated the Smog would go with the year of the engine, Now currently in Calif after 40 years a car in Calif. is Smog Exempt. The Car has Current 2006 California Licence Tags and I was able to Register it in 2005/6 & get tags with no problems at that time). If you are in California, you may get lucky as I did and be able to register it & get new 2007 Calif lic. tags with your registration without any kind of smog testing. If you are in Calif worse case cenario it will be at the current 30 year calif Smog exempt point 1976- 2006 in just a couple of months 12/31/2006. To the best of my knowledge I think any other state outside of Calif should also be fine, as we in calif have the toughest smog laws in the country here. The car seems to run extremely clean. The RSH Spec Motor (~5.5 Liter Chevy Small Block V8) the included RSH Spec. sheets on the engine indicate that it's power should be aprox 400+ HP (please see engine spec sheets). If you would like me to email the Original RSH data sheets "Rod Simpson" has to you please let me know. , The Entire car & Brand New ~0 Hour RSH Spec motor has been in storage since 1988 ! <<<>>>. This "CLASSIC - 1976 Beautifully Balanced GERMAN BUILT "ROADSTER" with Durable removable hardtop " ! ... 1976 is not only one if not the Very Best year of the Classic 914 it was the final year of production! & YES, These wonderful German removable Hard Top, Roadster Beauties are Going Up in Value Every Year ! Believe it or not my Reserve for this Great Car is well under $15k Please feel free to do the math that is about half what it might take to build one of these and this is a ~0 Hour New Engine and the car was also stored the last 15+ years with many (Numerous) new Components and it has GREAT PROVENANCE !!!!! & everything is DONE and Running at this time !!!! WOW ! â€¦a Great FUN Investment you can Enjoy ! * * * * THIS CAR IS WITHOUT QUESTION UNBELIEVABLY SWEET ! and a TON of Fun to DRIVE* * * * Why not Drive a â€œClassic Legendâ€?!!! "Porsche is One of America's all time Favorite FUN Cars" ! This Classic 914 with the Providence and incredible V8 Engine Body and High Performance Porsche improvements will undoubtedly be a Great Investment in years to come ! It Is the 'Real Thing"! The "Genuine Article"!! The "Real McCoy" ..NOT "a want to be Copy" of Anything !!!! Any car Buff that hears this Incredible car Running will give you all the respect it deserves. ...Many feel that the 1976 Classic PORSCHE 914 (One of the Best years for these FINE High Quality German Built Automobiles) & is considered by Most Auto Racing Enthusiasts as "One of the Better Handling cars Porsche produced in this Era !! In fact many Considered the 914 Auto-Cross Racing's "Weapon of Champions" ! So why would you want to Drive Something less ???? (Racers Loved these 914's as Itâ€™s Wheelbase was about 6â€? longer than a 911, Weight distribution was FAR More balanced than a 911 (because it is Mid and not rear engine design weigh distribution and handling was far better than a equivalent stock bodied 911) as itâ€™s Aerodynamics were far better against lift and would stick to the ground better at high speeds as compared to a 911 and lastly despite costing a few dollars (only 600 USD) less than a 911 initially, a nice example of the Far More Rare 6 cylinder 914 currently brings about $25,000.00 to $30,000.00!. Because of itâ€™s Freeway Friendly "5" Speed manual transmission, this Strong "0 hour" V8 Beauty gets Super Great Gas Mileage (approx. 30 + MPG) on Regular gas station 92 octane Pump gas! ...a Definite plus these days! ...What other Classic V8 Car Collector can say that!!! Plus, Excellent Reliability and Good Solid Dependable Handling & Performance!! I believe these have approx. FIVE TIMES the Horsepower of most Great Performing 4 Cylinder 914 engines (~80 VS ~400+.HP) The Car runs great just as it is, however, because the engine has not yet been fully seated in and like any newly completed high performance car I would definitely dial it in before you take it for any big drives as this may need a couple of minor tweeks before it is exactly the way you may want it. This is a Car that you will be Proud to drive daily ! "

1987 944 Turbo LS1 V8 Race Car For Sale

2006-06-07T23:49:00.000-04:00

"
This is a pristine condition 1987 944 Turbo that has been converted into a street legal race car.
This car is race ready, corner balanced, aligned, and fully sorted. 2640lbs, 51:49 weight distribution with 1/3 tank of fuel and no driver.
88,000 original mile 944 Turbo with less than 500 miles on all of the non-stock parts, which include the engine, drive train, suspension, brakes, lightweight body panels/windows, interior, etc... It's all new!
The engine is an all aluminum LS-1 Corvette V8 modified with headers, big roller cam, titanium valve spring retainers, 7500 rpm rated valve springs, a larger throttle body, and a custom intake manifold. The factory Corvette ECU has been reprogrammed specifically for this car, and a new professionally made engine wiring harness has been fabricated and installed as well. The car is also equipped with a custom deep sump sheet metal oil pan, remote oil filter, and a Lindsey Racing 3 piece engine cross member. The power is estimated to be approximately 475 horse power.
The exhaust is a 2 into 1 design, and is 3" out to the rear bumper.
The suspension is all new as well with a full Bilstein Escort Series coil-over race suspension using 550lbs springs in front and 750lbs springs in the rear. Also fitted are custom spherical suspension bushings, camber/caster plates with spherical bearings, Weltmeister front & rear sway bars, and Racers Edge front control arms with larger custom front ball joints, and all new wheel bearings.
The brakes are all new 993 twin turbo two piece front rotors with new 993 twin turbo Brembo front calipers, and new Porsche M030 cross drilled rear rotors, all new stainless steel braided brake lines, new Pagid Blue brake pads front & rear, and a one-of-a-kind... 2000 psi hydraulic brake assist system (the only 944 V8 to have power brakes!) professionally designed and installed.
The clutch is a custom aluminum lightweight Corvette flywheel/pressure plate/disk package rated to 550 horse power, with a hydraulic throw-out bearing.
The transmission is a factory 944 turbo transmission with a factory external oil cooler and a limited slip (LSD) differential.
The new axles new gun-drilled axles with custom heavy duty CV joints.
The interior has been gutted. New black carpet, without insulation, has been fitted throughout the interior. The heavy thick plastic head liners have been removed, and a custom made 911 style head liner has been fitted. Also fitted is a 4 point roll bar with horizontal and diagonal braces, two new Sparco Evo seats, and a drivers set of 5 point race harness as well as a fire extinguisher. Some finishing touches include a set of recalibrated factory gauges with a custom LED gauge lighting package. The dash board is a perfect condition (no cracks) black non-air bag 944 dash, gutted of all non-essentials.
The doors have been gutted using a plasma cutter and are hollow with the exception of the door release and the window channels and have Lexan replacement windows with a manual "slider" to operate the side windows. Custom door panels have been fabricated and installed as well.
The sunroof has been deleted along with all of the associated electronics, motors, cabling, etc... and a new fixed fiberglass sunroof "panel" has been fitted and permanently secured. A 911 style head liner has been fabricated and installed as well.
While the front glass is still "glass", the rear hatch, rear quarters, and the doors, all have Lexan replacements.
The hood, sunroof, European style rear bumper, front lip spoiler, rear GT Lemans rear spoiler, and vented nose panel, are all either fiberglass or carbon fiber depending on the piece.
The pop-up head lights and associated hardware have all been removed in favor of a fixed head light system by GT Racing with clear Lexan covers.
The wheels are factory 17" x 9" Porsche 993 Cup ll rims on all four corners shod with new 275x17 Hoosier race tires. Additionally, the rims have been powder coated flat black.
The finished product is a true race ready 944 with a perfect weight balance, high horse power and and a big fat wide torque curve, coupled with the time tested reliability of the aluminum LS1 V8. This car is VERY fast.
The handling and brakes on this car are truly amazing and must be driven to be appreciated.
At $35,000, you are buying a true one-of-a-kind race car that will not disappoint.
This car needs nothing except window nets, which we will supply and install for you, to be track ready.
Price: $35,000
Contact Tony Garcia - 818.635.3966 to discuss. You won't be disappointed!"

"CUSTOM 1950 JEEPSTER-JAG

THIS IS A PRISTINE, DROP-DEAD-GORGEOUS, CUSTOM CLASSIC AMERICAN DREAM!

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT IS THE ONLY CAR ON THE PLANET WITH THIS UNIQUE CONFIGURATION. IT’S A REAL HEAD-TURNER!

BODY AND INTERIOR ARE ORIGINAL WILLY’S JEEPSTER.
POWER PLANT IS 350 CHEVY, AS IS THE TRANSMISSION.

FRONT AND REAR SUB FRAME IS JAGUAR WITH FULL INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION.

NEW FRONT AND REAR DISC BRAKES. REAR DISC BRAKES ARE INBOARD.

ALL BUSHINGS, TIRES, ETC. ARE NEW.

STEERING IS POWER RACK-AND-PINION.

WHEELS ARE JAGUAR - WHICH ARE THE SAME BOLT PATTERN AS A CHEVY, SO IF ONE WANTED TO GIVE MORE OF A MUSCLE LOOK, WITH TALLER AND WIDER WHEELS, IT WOULD BE VERY SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE TO DO.

INSTRUMENTS ARE JAGUAR. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS PROFESSIONALLY TESTED AND CALIBRATED AFTER THE REBUILD AND ROAD TEST.

THE NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP AND THE SIDE CURTAINS ARE BEST-QUALITY STAYFAST CANVAS MADE FROM FACTORY PATTERNS, AS ARE THE OAK BOWS.

ALL NEW GLASS AND ALL NEW RUBBER SEALS.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR IS NOT INSTALLED... THE REASON BEING, I DID NOT WANT TO SPOIL THE CLEAN LINES OF THE FIREWALL. ALSO, I HAD NO INTENTION OF EVER DRIVING THIS CAR IN THE RAIN. I DO HAVE THE MOTOR AND IT WORKS FINE. INSTALLATION WOULD BE SIMPLE - IT WOULD REQUIRE DRILLING THREE HOLES IN THE FIREWALL AND HOOKING IT UP.

RESTORATION AND CUSTOMIZATION HAS BEEN A PROFESSIONAL, NO-EXPENSE-SPARED, GROUND-UP, FOUR-YEAR PROJECT WHICH HAS ONLY JUST BEEN COMPLETED.

THIS CAREFULLY ENGINEERED PACKAGE MAKES FOR A FAST AND NIMBLE RIDE.

DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, I MUST NOW OFFER THE CAR FOR SALE AT A FRACTION OF MY INVESTMENT.

PRESENT MILES ON THE ODOMETER ARE THE MILES TAKEN TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO GEORGE BARRIS’S, MAY 2006, “CRUISING THE 50’S CAR SHOW” IN CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA, WHERE IT DREW A HUGE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION AND EXCITEMENT.

I COULD CONTINUE TO WRITE GLOWING REPORTS ON THIS GREAT CAR, BUT PREFER TO KEEP THE DESCRIPTION SHORT AND TO THE POINT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE E-MAIL ME. "

Built on a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron. Currently has 68,211 miles on it, but I drive it everyday, so it will be a little bit higher upon sale. Runs great. Lots of power. Keyless entry, power convertable top (Mercedes Style) , newer upholstery with Mercedes emblem. Also has clear corner lights. Comes with a Pioneer Cd player. Has Real Mercedes-Benz rims, and 4 almost new tires, with spacers. The car is really fun to drive, gets lots of attention with the top down.
As for cosmetic work, The interior custom wood trim is cracked in places from normal wear. The Passenger side door handle needs to be tightened up, the power antenna needs to be connected properly, and the rear driver's side window has been disconnected.

Please do not bid unless you are serious, and have money readily available. NO international money transfers, and Please no one outside of the U.S. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping, but I will help as much as possible. I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car is sold locally. Also, I try to mention everything to the best of my knowledge, but anyone is welcome to come see it before bidding, either send me an email, or just give me a call, 401-413-3803 and we can set something up."

Vehicle Description
This is a front engined V-8 Porsche. The chassis is from a 1967 912. I purchased from an estate. The car was never finished and the owner had passed, so I have little information. He had previously built a mid-engined Porsche powered by a Corvair engine. (Anyone ever seen that car??).The engine in this car is a Chev. 327, radiator is from a Gurney Eagle. The third member is an Oldsmobile Toronado fwd, (now rwd !), and a spare goes with car. There is no glass in car, most of interior parts seem to be there, and there appear to be a number of duplicate/triplicates. I would guess seats are from a 914. The owner's daughter said her father did drive the car once, in its present state. It has not been turned over for more than 15 years from what I can determine. There's lots of work to be done, and way over my head. He was apparently a good engineer and has routed the exhaust through the lower rocker panels, and exits at rear through a standard Porsche "can" exhaust muffler. The three instruments in place are the clock, speedometer and fuel/temp gauge, the tachometer and combination gauge are missing. The flares are very tastefully done, and are steel, not fibreglass. He was going to market these. In spite of poor color retention on photographs, the paint is fire engine red, but needs polishing out. It's very well painted. If nothing else, break for parts... "

Vehicle Description
I am sure no one wants to hear the long sad story so here is the condensed version. I bit off way more than I could chew. Coupled with a recent divorce that left no money or a place to work on the project leads to sale.
The car is an '87 GT with an IFG clone body kit. The front clip, rear clip and doors are bolted on. The hood and rear deck are not attached. The only parts I have for the interior are a fiberglass dash and dash pod. Some miscellaneous parts are available.
Note pictures with the stock front suspension and 7" rear springs so it looks really bad. You will want to buy a widetrack coilover front suspension with drop spindles or at least lowering springs.body alignment is not bad although needs some work at front clip driver's door joint. Hood and deck lid need cutout and hinged. headlights need moved forward. Need mirrors installed in fiberglass mirror pods. needs taillights. Ferrari OEM will not fit (I had a set)!! needs front grille. Interior is stock. lots and lots moreRear Suspension cost $2200: Held '88 +4" wide track suspension with '87-'88 conversion. 7" and 10" coil over springs Mark Williams +4" axlesThis auction does NOT include the transmission and engine!

Vehicle Description
What are you bidding on?

You are bidding on one 2000 Ford Focus ZX3. Project ZX351 started after getting bored with 3 different turbo, nitrous, and turbo + nitrous motors. The title is clear and is not a salvage title. I bought this car in September 2000 new. The chassis has about 30k miles on it. I converted about a year ago with a friend. The conversion was completed using parts from Kugel Komponents in California. To my knowledge, this was the first and possibly only Focus converted with a 351 Windsor engine. It has power steering and brakes. The HVAC system was sacrificed during the conversion so you are going to have to crank down the windows in the summer time. Stock exterior keeps the sleeper thing working for it. The exhaust note gives it away. The headlights, turn signals and front windshield wipers all function. It is street legal in the state of Oklahoma. I am selling it to free up funds to complete my education. I will consider trades on an aircraft of similar value. No other trades will be considered. The description is long but you deserve to know what you are bidding on. I will consider best offer transactions. The Buy-It-Now price is thousands less than other conversions have sold for. You couldn't buy the parts cheaper. It needs to sell NOW. Use Buy-It-Now because it disappears when a bid is placed. As an added bonus, I will transfer the rights of the web domain ZX351.com to you after we have closed the deal.

This car is a serious head-turner. The amount of attention it gets at car shows and the track is amazing. Laugh when the police officer gives you props on your cool ride as he writes you a ticket. Watch in amazement as the driver of the car next to you gets whiplash trying to figure out where the evil rumble of the lumpy V8 is coming from. Point and giggle as the funny ricers shrink in their seats when you pull up next to them. Feel the wrath of your old neighbor lady as you rumble into the garage at 2 a.m. ZX351 is more fun than a barrel of monkeys (without the barrel or the monkeys).

Engine, Suspension and Drivetrain.

The engine was professionally assembled using top-notch parts. It is approximately 10.5:1 compression and was purposely ringed on the loose side for using nitrous oxide. The block is a 1969 production block and is one of the best to build up. The crank is the only other stock part in the powerplant and '69 was a tough factory crank. It was turned 10/10 for the rebuild. It revs cleanly up to 6800 RPM but this combo makes power through about 6200RPM. It has been converted to a reverse rotation short water pump with serpentine belt. Ignition duties are handled by MSD with a Digital-6 box with 2-Step rev-limiter and single stage retard, RPM window switch for nitrous, Pro-Billet Distributor and Blaster Coil. The Digital-6 and window switch is mounted under the passenger seat where they are protected from underhood heat. The battery was relocated to the hatch with 0-gauge wire and gold plated connectors. The engine oil dipstick has been relocated to the timing cover. There are a couple of annoying little oil leaks that I was going to fix but haven't done yet.

The transmission (C4) was a fresh rebuild (1200miles ago) including new pump and TCI reverse manual valve body. The torque converter was custom made for this application by Edge Racing Converters in CA. It stalls about 3800 and has an anti-balloon plate for nitrous use. This is one of the best converters I have ever used and beats the generic mail order garbage. One size does not fit all and it shows with this converter. The driveshaft was custom made by Drivetrain Specialists in Oklahoma City. It is steel with Spicer U-joints.

The car is rear wheel drive and uses an 8.8 Ford rear axle with rear disk brakes. Front disk brakes have Rotora slotted rotors and EBC Green Stuff pads. The rear end uses aluminum bushings and heim joints. There is no rubber or urethane to wear out, distort, or crush. QA1 springs tame the torque from the launch. The front end has Energy suspension bushings and urethane motor mounts.

Interior

The car comes with an all stock interior. Well, I guess it is almost stock. The plan was to keep the sleeper image alive. It comes with highly supportive cloth seats, luxurious carpet, high quality Wal-Mart replacement floormats, factory doorpanels. The stock CD player will crank out your favorite tunes on the high fidelity stock speakers. The factory gauge cluster was ditched. The factory gauges and computer were a little confused about what to do with a pushrod motor so I just made my own. Autometer gauges sit in an aluminum panel. Only the important ones were kept. The tach sits proudly in the center (where it belongs) with temp, oil pressure, voltmeter, and fuel gauge. You will want to keep an eye on the gas gauge as much as the tach. You can almost see it go down when you are watching (joking…or am I?). Obviously missing is a speedometer. You could always put one in if you want but why? If you are getting pulled over there a couple of things you already know: 1. You were probably going way too fast. 2. You are probably getting a ticket anyway. And my personal favorite 3. When the cop asks you if you know how fast you were going you can honestly answer "No Sir!" I keep a GPS in the car for backup if I need it. The gauge pod holds the EGT gauge and a good 'ol boost/vacuum gauge with the Ford Racing logo on it. It is leftover from the turbo days but I left it in for wishful thinking. Ignition box, cooling fan, nitrous and interior lights are controlled by super cool fighter jet toggle switches mounted in a custom panel that replaces the dome light. Interior is in excellent condition.

Exterior

Stock looking. Paint is 5 years old but looks OK. 7.5 out of 10. There are some scratches here and there (see pics). I thought about painting it but figured I would put the car into the wall at the race-track after I forked out the dough to do it. I will throw in some touch up paint if you like it blue, paint it different if you don't. The stock appearance helps with the sleeper effect.

Driving it

It is definitely a handful. Get lazy or careless and she will kill you. Pay attention to what you are doing and you will have a blast. This baby moves on or off the bottle. It launches straight and hard. Expect 1.6x 60fts at the track. The car is set up for 11.50's since I don't have a cage or safety harness and 11.49 or quicker gets you kicked out of the track without it. If you want to go faster, you will want to put in a roll bar and safety equipment. This car is capable of much quicker times if you put the bigger pills in for the N2O. I would expect 10's easy. ZX351 weighs in at approximately 2850 with full interior and gas tank. If I kept it, I would probably change the cooling fans to a more efficient setup since it runs warm on a hot day sitting still. In cruise, it reads 195-210 degrees depending on your speed.

The fine print

This auction is for the vehicle in "as is" condition. There is NO odometer on the car. I will help you load it on the trailer if you need it. The vehicle is mechanically sound but I wouldn't want to drive it a great distance. It is located in Oklahoma City, OK. You are responsible for transporting it anywhere you want to take it. I take NO REPONSIBILITY and NO LIABILITY for you, your actions, the vehicle, or anything that occurs after the transaction is complete. I will be happy to provide the buyer with a test drive but if you crash it or break it, you own both halves. If you go to jail on the test drive, I will not bail you out but I will recommend a good attorney. It won't pass a smog inspection (duh) and if you live in California, you could be executed for driving it on public roads. The car is street legal and tagged in the state of Oklahoma. There is a non-refundable deposit of 10% payable by cashiers check (certified funds) only within 5 days of auction close. I will not accept any other method of payment for this transaction besides cash or certified funds. The balance is due at time of delivery and consummation of the deal is required within 10 days of auction close unless other arrangements are made before. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Your bid is a contract to buy. I have represented this vehicle to the best of my ability. I reserve the right to cancel any bids that I feel are not serious or to end the auction early if an acceptable offer is made. The vehicle is available for sale locally and is subject to prior sale. I will end the auction only after receiving the non-refundable deposit.

House Arrest Anyone? Read that last sentence, and think about ankle bracelets....

"Second Listing as the last bid was very close to the reserve. So this time NO RESERVE!! Also adding all the questions I was asked to save emails. For those building other cars like it with how-to Questions. Lets make it easy. TREAT ANY FOX BODY FORD as if it is a 87-93 Mustang. Whether it is T-Bird, Fairmont, Mercury Cougar. Station wagon, LTD II, WHICHEVER. I walk into a parts store and tell them it is a 1990 Mustang, I get my parts I bolt them on. Simple! Use any supplier that sells aftermarket Mustang parts.
This Fox Body Ford has been converted to EFI 5.0 status. Using ALL Ford hardware except for the electric fuel pump which is not in tank. T-5 speed. 8.8 2.73 Posi rear end. Quadra shock. Essentially you are looking at a sleeper with a complete 87-93 Ford Mustang driveline. Extras are Tubular K-Member, Coilovers and tubular A-arms. New Brakes, Rotors (87-93 Large V8), Struts. New power steering rack 15:1 quick ratio and tie rod ends. (one photo was pre-steering but later added). Exhaust. 1/58 Shorty headers. X-Pipe, Hooker Mufflers (Flowmaster sound but no drone), EEC is A9L. The car has been painted but before I purchased it. Appears to be close to original color. It shines but is not show quality. Has blemishes but the car is an 82 model. Although I don't see any trash in the paint which is a plus for me. No Bondo or collisions that I can tell anywhere. Most of the parts were installed NEW during the conversion. I have put about 15K miles on this car since built. I did the complete conversion myself. I have several Mustangs and a 66 Factory Five Kit car I am now working with (built with Mustang donor parts but I use new!). Currently the car is insured thru Hagerty as a collector for $7500 agreed value. There is no rust on the car other than a stain on the all aluminum bumpers from previously mounted fog lights. I have wire brushed some surface areas under the hood skin which are of no real concern. I removed the underhood liner as it was in poor shape. Digital temp and oil guages. Kenwood twin dial cassette player. All new door rubber and trunk seal. Door strikers. New heater core. New black vinyl top. The rear seat and door panels are all original. New Carpet. New headliner. Original seats were bench with NO console. All of this is from a Mustang. Dash is original but new cover. Steering wheel is tilt.
Pretty much what you see is what you get. If you are looking at this car then you already know how rare it is. It started life as a 2.3 automatic. It's located near Memphis TN. Delivery options to be discussed BEFORE auction close. I will NOT Ship. I will make it available for pick up. Zip code is 38603, Ashland MS. I have family concerns limiting my travel at the moment.
How does it run? Has VERY Strong Top end power. Uses No Oil, leaves no spots \ leaks in my car port. She will pull away hard from a friends new Chevy truck chipped at 120mph. And runs 8.71 on a 600 foot track with a sub 2.20 sixty foot on the true radials you see on it. The car weighs 3080lbs, which is 100lbs lighter than my 89 Mustang Coupe without me in it. Do realize I am 37 and don't abuse this car. It was built for performance. I very much trust it to travel with my family and small children. Also, the battery is rear mounted.
Wheels are 16X8.Slight rub with a full load. I weigh 220, wife 115. No tire scrub with just us unless hard cornering and a bump in the road, etc... But only slight rub. Fill the back seat and load it with luggage you get more but only in curves, etc... 225/55/16 tires. 60-70% tread left. Bought new for the car.
Engine is from an 88-T-bird. Factory 93 Mustang Roller cam installed and new timing chain. All new gaskets and rubber oil pan gasket. Mustang throttle body. (T-bird was very tiny). Tranny has new syncro's at time of installation. Shifts perfect! New Clutch also. No idea on mileage of the engine. Gets 22-27 hwy typically on trips and mixed city driving. Can be driven coast to coast. No worries.
Bare in mind I'm only selling this car to make room for the other projects. And it is Tax Refund time when people have the $$$ on hand where a bank won't loan on an older car. I’m re-listing because it was so close to the reserve. If the car doesn't sell this auction I'm storing it and ordering a Kenny Belle Supercharger for the Spring and will tack on the upgrade price this time next year at auction.
Thanks and Happy Bidding!
Revised : I'm still getting questions on how to build these cars. I'll answer them as I can and thru normal email after Auction ends. I want to clear up on this point first and get this out of the way.
#1, Can you Build a 79-93 Ford Mustang from the GROUND UP? If not, you should not tackle this project. Imagine going out to your 87-93 and doing an Overhauling Episode on it. EVERY SINGLE nut and bolt, wire and clip.
#2, If you can, you just answered 99% of the questions I'm getting. Simply treat this car as if it were a 79-93 Mustang. And ANY other Fairmont or Fox Body the same.
#3, You will have some Minor differences. If you can build a Mustang, you can build these cars, just as there are differences between 79 and 93 Mustangs. Ford made revisions along the way. But if you are taking on a project like this in the first place you should be prepared and have the knowledge to overcome the issues.
#4, I don't have the time resource to train anyone on how to build a Mustang, or this car for that matter. Not sure if this is against EBay policy or not but you will find parts from Summit Racing, Jegs, or 50resto.com, or stangparts.com, and of course Autozone, Advance Autoparts as well.
Thanks.
REVISED: 2/27. I lowered the starting bid to $5000, which $100 less than the last auction bid. Added BUY IT NOW of $6000 due to the questions.
If you FLY into MEMPHIS TN to pick up the car, I will pick you up at the Air Port FREE of charge. Assuming you will drive the car home as I cannot leave the area at the current time."

I-6 Nissan Turbo JAG XJS

Vehicle Description
For sale is my 1980 XJS. I am moving to Europe this summer and am forced to sell my baby. So, sadly, the XJS needs a new home and a proud owner. Here is the story on the car. It is a 1980 XJS. I owned it for the last 9 years since 1997. My uncle owned the car from 1991 and had it for five years before he sold it to me. I am the second owner. When I bought the car it had 72,000 miles and a V12 engine with minor cooling problems. I had decided to start a new project and completely restore the car and install an engine that was going to be reliable, fast, and not so expensive to take care of. I was shooting for a turbo motor and manual transmission. Three years later my dream came true, and the Jag was running and looking absolutely stunning. I had installed the Nissan Turbo motor (inline 6, single turbo) which was upgraded to produce 310 HP to the wheels of the car. 5 speed manual gearbox was also installed. This engine was famous for powering Japanese race and production cars in the late 80's and earlt 90's. I had to order the factory master clutch cylinder and linkage along with many other parts NEW directly from England which took over 2 months to get here. When the motor was done and the car was running the suspension was completely redone, new urethane bushings all around, new bearings, new seals, rebuilt differential, new brake lines, new shock absorbers, new steering rack, new rubber mouldings, rebuilt brake calipers, new brake rotors, new chrome pieces....... I than sent it to a body shop ("Premier" in Culver City) where the TRW body kit was installed, some bodywork was done, and the car was sprayed into a Mercedes-Benz Sunburst yellow color. The paint is polished to a show level. The whole interior was also redone including leather seats, leather dashboard, door panels, carpet, headliner...The windows were slightly tinted and new sound system installed. I had finally built a car that was one of a kind and was just stunning. Since than, I've always upgraded a little something on the car to my taste. It is driven on weekends, I am the only one who drives this car and I personally put 99% of the miles on it since I bought it. It is extremely fast. It has gotten me many speeding tickets. Every single thing in the car works perfectly. It has a killer sound system. The engine has a potential of making so much more HP, but I have been runing it on stock setup most of the time. I had it on a dyno in April 2005 and it had 326.7 HP to the wheels (approx. 365 hp to flywheel). This was done with the upgraded ECU and raised boost to 14 psi. I returned it to stock set-up after just to make sure it lasts a while. With the existing setup, it roughly puts out 240 hp to the wheels. It has always been my baby. The car gets people's attention fast, and it's a cop magnet. The car is so fun to drive and you will not want to get out of it.The engine transplant was legalized with California Highway Patrol and they issued a sticker which is placed in the engine bay and says that the car is legal. It passed smog check in December with no problems. I am proud of building this car and if I had to go thru all of it again I would. Over the time I kept throwing money and my time in it. I have most receipts and all the paperwork on the car. The body is straight, it was never hit or bent, and it has a CLEAR title. The car itself has 95,000 miles now. The engine/suspension has only 15-20,000 miles. Rust free. It has been in California since it was made, never seen snow or rain. I had it always garaged and covered. All the work has been done in between 2000 and 2004. It is so easy to work on any part of the engine since there is so much room on all sides of it. The parts are much easier to find than Jag parts.
On the outside, you would never imagine that the car had a Nissan engine under the hood, unless you saw the stickshift or heard the engine roar.
I have gone thru 2 sets of wheels and now it has original Jaguar Revolver wheels. it handles like its on rails. The engine is approximately twice as light at the V12 was, resulting in better handling and overall performance. It runs smoothly, I have only serviced it with fully synthetic oils and fluids every 3000 miles. Every single part of this car has been modified or restored in some way. I am located in Beverly Hills, California, and the car is available for a check out and a test drive with deposit. It hurts that I have to do this, but I find myself going after other things in life, and unfortunately I have to move forward. I am asking $32,999 for the car and I'm taking reasonable offers. The reserve price is set approx. at 75% of the Buy It Now. It costs me twice this amount and even more.
I know many of you are probably wondering about this: The power steering works perfectly (custom lines were installed so the Nissan pump is used), All the gauses were connected and work fine ( water temp, volt, oil press., temperature, warninhg lights...). The A/C was not installed, and I still have the compressor and all lines which I will give with the car.
I know some might argue that this engine is not meant for this car, some say the color is too flashy..... but I wouldnt change a single thing on the car. And yes I know that you could probably buy a much newer car, probably even an XK8 for this money but trust me, I've had an XK8, XJR, 911 turbo which I recently sold, but I have enjoyed the XJS more then any of these and so will you.
Damage:
The only existing damage to the car are a few scratches here and there, 1 or 2 small dents, and scraped front bumper from underneath. All this is hard to see and you would have to be upclose.
The vehicle is registered in California under my name until December 2006. Here's your chance to own the one and only Jaguar XJS Turbo 5-speed in the US and maybe the whole world. More exact specs and pics are available if interested. My personal E-mail is Alex12582@sbcglobal.net. My phone number is (310)404-6221. I will be more than happy to answer any questions to anyone interested. More pictures and videos are available. Just ask.

V8 Morris Minor

2006-04-26T00:19:00.000-04:00

"This is it! You may not find a nicer '57 Morris Minor 1000 Salon Hot Rod on the market! Do not let this one get away! This would look great in your garage! It's like a "NEW" car! It was a body off project over the last two years. What a value it is with ALL the goodies! Take a look at the lines on this beauty. Hours have been spent on making this one nice little Rod. This two door a good example of an old favorite. This sedan is sound and in good shape. This Hot Rod has a powerful little 283 CID V8 Chevy SB in it and running very well. The whole car only has 5 Miles on it since it was finished! The engine is backed by a three speed automatic which functions very well. These jewels are paired with a Toyota rear end! What a super combo! The entire chassis is actually Toyota. It is a'73 Truck chassis shortened 16". The Interior is in sharp with bucket seats, sharp carpet and a cool dash. This street rod has barley even seen the road since it was finished. This car is a great running and wonderful looking rod. This ride has sharp looks and great power as well! These vehicles have an appreciative group of owners any of which would be pleased to own this one. The suspension and drive line are in fantastic working order as well as the electrical system. This Rod is SHARP!! This ride is a great investment opportunity and it is priced right! This vehicle is in wonderful condition from top to bottom and from front to back. It will not disappoint someone looking for a good example of a sought after and hard to find collector which is not seen at every stop light. If you have been looking but can not find a Hot Rod worthy of your hard earned money look NO further because this is the one! The finish on the vehicle is good as you can see below but this car was built by an enthusiast, not a high tech company and would be considered an amature restoration and not a pro job. This vehicle is in nice mechanical condition and it runs and drives very well. The vehicle is solid with respect to the overall mechanical condition as well as the overall cosmetic impression. I looked underneath and also included photos below. This is a nice solid vehicle but we noted these deficiencies: windshield and passenger glass has scratches, Wipers don't work and motor brushes are most likely needed as well as a switch, gas gage does not work and needs to be replaced with a gage that matches the Toyota sending unit, Tranny drips a touch around the shifting arm, radiator drips once in a while and the paint is sharp but not show. Please pay close attention to the photos and descriptions below as they will answer most if not all of your questions. As always I tried to get as thorough and in depth with the photographs as possible. This vehicle can be had for quite a bit less than what it is worth all for the need of a quick sale. Be careful to not let it get away and please enjoy the auction! This is one MEAN Ride which needs a new owner...is it YOU?! Feel free to review my feedback and see all of my previous satisfied auto buyer responses. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious. "

Vehicle Description
you are bidding on a 1984 porsche 944 with a chevy 3.8 v6 motor swap. does not currently run, but spins over really well. i thought it was a sensor problem, but i have no time to find out. car has month old registration/inspection for the state of texas. i also have a brand new title for it as well. i bought the car like this and it ran really well. my plan was to just drive it on the weekend, and take the swap to the next level, clean it up a bit and paint the body. but, the day after i got it reg/inspected, it wouldnt start. spins over just great, but wont start. this car does NOT use the fuel injection that originally came on this motor, uses a holley 2 barrel with and adapter plate. car ran really well when running, could brake the tires loose in second going around 10mph. i was going to try and fix this car, but my wife recently got a morning job and i have no time. i really would like to keep this car, but once again, i must say goodbye to the 944. anyway, interior looks great, no body damage except the passenger side rear fender but its not horrible. tires have over 50%. would be a great project or potential swap car for someone wanting to put a v8. any questions, please email me at aero86@gmail.com "

Reply to: sale-150257799@craigslist.orgDate: 2006-04-11, 10:08AM PDTThis is a 1968 Datsun 510 4dr that my Dad and I were in the process of restoring. We removed the funky windshield wiper setup and replaced it with a 1970 setup. If you dont know the 68 510's have wipers that are similar to a Jag. The stock engine has been replaced with a 4cyl from a 1976 Ford pinto. The engine is similar in size to the stock 510 engine except it has an Aluminum block so it is quite a bit lighter. This little car is pretty fast for what it is. The body is a little rough ,interior is in good condition, all original. The right side rear brake lights dont work, I think there is a short in the line, shoud be easy to fix. Price is $4500 firm. I know this sounds like a lot for how the car looks but it is a strong runner and the body can be fixed. These cars are getting hard to find so I am sure it is worth what I am asking. Serious only please no time wasters. My Dad was a factory nissan mech in the 70 so we know about the 510. All the work has been professionally done. "

Vehicle Description
BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.IDAHOSPEED.COM AND WWW.UNDERPRESSUREDEVELOPMENT.COM This car is not for the light hearted, or sunday drivers - it is a serious street machine / race car that needs someone who can drive behind the wheel. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, here's the car's story: Built at the Idaho Speed Center by one of our employees, this vehicle was built for speed. Since the owner is a Nissan Guru, and knows more about SR20's than most tuners he decided to out one in a car that he liked the looks of: a 1988 BMW M3 coupe. He purchased the car in perfect running condition, pulled out the M motor and swapped in a built SR20 DET 4 cylinder turbo motor (engine mods listed below). No expense was spared and every possible mod that could be done for performance was professionally done. The car has a custom built cage, custom fabbed intake manifold, high flow fuel system, upgraded turbonetics turbo on a full race manifold, and many other parts and custom modifications (see complete list below). Since the motor was built it has had around 1000 miles put on it, and the car itself has 163,000 miles on the chasis. The car has run a best time of 11.01 @ 124 MPH and put down 498 HP on our local dyno. This car is no joke, and should be in the 10's with no headwind and a good 60 ft time, (It launches incredibly well and was able to rip a 1.67 60 ft time.) Yet the car idles and drives well enough to be a great street car.

Vehicle Description
Your are looking at a 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I have recently investedover $4500 in parts alone to bring this rig to a place of "really cool".If you are a fan of these old Woodys you will appreciate this one. Thebody has just under 140000 original miles.
All of the following work has less than 3000 miles on it. This truck isChevy Powered. As you may know the original 360 AMC 2 barrel was a pileof junk. This a 1969 350ci 4-bolt main Chevy motor. It is .030"oversized which makes it a 355ci. The crankshaft is not new but wasmeasured and is well within factory specks. The connecting rods arereconditioned with ARP bolts. All bearings are Seal Power STD size.Pistons are new cast flat top .030". The new hydraulic camshaft is atorque cam and has been advanced 2 degrees to produce a little extrabottom end. Timing chain is a new double roller. The heads received athree angle seat cut and new valve seals. The oil pump is a Melling highvolume high pressure unit. The harmonic balancer is also new. Allgaskets and seals are Felpro The plugs & wires are also new along with anew HEI distributor.
For the exterior of the engine, a chrome-kit was utilized to give theengine a little more aesthetic appeal. This kit includes a 6 quart pan,Timing case cover, valve covers, dip stick, alternator bracket, and aircleaner. The intake is a spread-bore Edelbrock performer. The carb is are-manufactured quadrojet unit with a heat riser choke system. All chokesystem components are also new. The water pump, alternator,high-torque-starter, belts, all sensors such water temp and oilpressure, and all hoses are new. The Exhaust headers are stainless steeland it has true dual exhaust with 40 series flowmaster mufflers. The airconditioning does work, but it leaks freon at the shut off/servicevalves on the side of the ac compressor. The filter dryer is also bad. Ihave a new filter dryer but I have not installed it. The radiator is a 4core unit. The Motor mounts and transmission adaptor kit is fromAdvanced Adaptors.
The transmission is also a fresh rebuild with a shift kit added for amore positive shift. It is the factory equipped 727 torqueflight unit.The rear dive-shaft has new u-joints and was re-balanced. The gas tankskid-plate was replaced with a heayduty skid-plate from BJ's Jeep. Checktheir web site, very cool stuff for FSJ's. It also has a new gas gaugesending unit in the tank. The suspension is also all new. It has a 4"all spring lift kit with new hydro shocks respectively. I also put adrop pitman arm in to keep the steering geometry correct. 1" shackleswere also put in the front to level the truck (I can't stand trucksbeing jacked up in the back), and a new Rancho steering stabilizer. Thewheels are Eagle Alloys, with new 32"-11.50 x 15" Bridgestone Duelers. Ihave a one extra wheel if you want to do the tire on top or rear bumpermount option (it does not have a tire mounted on it). I also have all ofthe original wheels to go with it when it sells. They are in near mintcondition with the front center-caps machined for access the WarnLocking Hubs. Truck has power steering and power brakes.
The interior is excellent shape. All power options include dual powerseats, locks, windows, mirrors, rear widow, and sunroof. I haveinstalled a tachometer and a set of mechanical gauges to keep and extraeye on the vital signs. All of the electronic gauges in the instrumentpanel are in excellent working condition and agree with the mechanicalgauges. I have installed a new radio/CD player with remote control andalso replaced all four factory speakers with comparable units. Thecarpet in the back by the gate is a little messed up where the sparetire accessories access door is pulled in and out but it is not too bad.The headliner is OK but the sunroof slide panel that blocks the sun fromcoming into the cabin needs to have the material redone. I just leaveit slid back for now. I was planning on replacing the headliner.
All in all this an awesome FSJ, and it is practically new as far as thedrive-train goes. If you are looking to go play in the snow, run down thebeach, and take 4 people along with you this Jeep is for you. I have puta lot of time and money into this project, but I want to go buildsomething else so I have to let this one go. Happy bidding and pleasefeel free to ask any questions. I have more pics if you want me toe-mail them. Please...serious bidders only. Thanks

V8 Datsun 620

Vehicle Description
I purchased this Datsun truck in the middle of last year. It was an unfinished project that was in need of alot of attention even though alot of the hard stuff was already done. The engine and transmission were already mounted in the car but was not running. The rear suspension and the way the rear end and components were put is this car is a work of art. Everyone who has seen this has praised the way the rear was set up as well as the whole truck. I do know little about the engine and its internal components. The engine was purchased by the previous owner as a long block. All he could tell me is that he bought it from a guy that had it and a bracket drag car. I have identified that the block is out of a 1969 Chevy truck buy the casting numbers. People who have herd it run and the guy that tuned it for me says that is has a mild cam or RV cam. It has a turbo 350 AT transmission with Mr. Gasket shift kit. The rear end is an old Lincoln rear end. The car does have Posi but we are not sure on the gear ratio. It does cruise on the freeway well at 75-80mph at only 3500-3700 rpm’s. Mechanically it is very sound and I have fixed and repaired everything that was necessary for it to be used as a daily driver. The paint is in excellent condition and only has a couple small dents. There is no rust on the truck anywhere that can be seen. The carpet and interior is all new. The dash does have a few cracks like older Datsun trucks. It has 15X10" Centerline wheels in the rear and 15X5 in the front. All the lights work except for the turn signals with I think it is the switch it self on the column because the hazards work and so does everything else. All the parts that i have put on the truck in the last 6 months are as follows. All of the parts that were used to finish the truck we new. Parts alone that I put into this truck was close to $5000.00 and some of the best brands and products were used. No junk was used to put this truck back together
Edelbrok 600cfm carburetor with manual choke
Distributor cap
Distributor rotor
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Distributor springs and weights (when it was tuned)
Starter
Electric fuel pump
Fuel filter
K & N air filter
Ignition coil
Alternator
Alternator belt
Brake master cylinder
Fuel pressure regulator
AC Delco Battery
20-gallon Jaz fuel cell w/ sender
16" Mercedes electric fan (wired to a toggle switch right now)
Black reclining racing seats
Pyrotect 3" racing harnesses w/ cam lock
Sony CD player
Infinity 6" speakers (2)
Infinity 6X9 speakers (2)
M/T Street ET Drag Radials 30" X 12.15
(2) Flowmaster 40 series mufflers and custom header back exhaust
The truck runs great. It is cold hearted in the mornings because the choke is not hooked up. Once it warms up it runs and idles beautifully. Nice deep idle and when you rev it, it draws a lot of attention. It has never been raced or taken to the track. I do drive it the way it is meant to be driven and hooks hard and goes straight off the line. If I would guess it would be a low 11-second car. It is a absolute blast to drive and get more attention and thumbs up on the street than any car/truck I have ever owned. It weighs 2600 pounds wet.
I’m sure there will be a lot of questions and I will be sure to answer them as quickly and as best that I can. I will allow this truck to be shipped but the buyer will make all arrangements himself/herself. The buyer agrees to pay a $1000.00 non-refundable deposit no later than 48 hours from the close of the auction. Cash, cashiers check or money order will pay the remainder no later than 7 days from the close of the auction. No personal checks will be accepted. Good luck bidding!
Here are the questions and answers from the first listing on this truck
Q:How straight is the body when you look down the sides of it?....ThanksFeb-11-06
A:ON the passanger side bed there are 2 small dents that are right next to each other. Other than those 2 the sides are straight free of ripples and flaws. The front drivers side fender at the front right next to the bezel there is a small dent and the hood has a couple of small dents. These could be taken out by one of those paintless dent removal companies for not too much money. If i was to keep the truck then i would have had the company that services my work do it. I have put enough money into this truck and not that i have decided to sell it i am leaving the finishing touches to the new owner. It wouldnt take much work to be a show truck or drag truck. Take care
Q:Is there a tonneau cover that goes over the bed?Feb-08-06
A:There was one made of vinyl that was attached by velcro but the previous owner has lost it. The velcro is still around the edge of the bed if you would chose to make one. Take care
Q:My questions may be a bit vague, but I am may bid on this truck and I live in FL, and want to know anything at all possible that is wrong with the truck or needs to be done. Are the brakes up graded from the drum brakes, do the turn signals not work on the exterior or just in the dash? How is all the glass on the car? Is there a hole cut from the bed to make room for the rearend? Can car drive long distances without over heating, or have you tried? Do wipers work? Over all is there any other problems with the engine, body, or even the sound system what so ever? How does the rear tailgate work(without the stock latches)? Would you drive car to FL or have it transported if it were you( or would it make it driving?)? Also what price are you wanting to get out of the truck and what is the least you would except. Thanks! Let me know all that you can, if possible. Thanks!Feb-07-06
A:The brakes in the rear are a very large Ford/Lincoln set up. The fronts i am unsure what vehicle they came off of. The shoes are all in good condition and stops well. The master cylinder has been replaced and the brake fluid has been flushed and relpaced with new. The turn signals dont work on the inside or outside. The hazards, headlights, brights, running ligths, tail lights and brake lights all work. The problem is i beleive in the swiucth on the column. The glass is in excellent condition with no cracks , pits or visible scratches. the rear window has a custom tint job done to it. The only hole in the bed is for the sump on the fuel cell and the cross over bar that the rear coil struts are mounted to. I drive i1t 15 miles each way to and from work. Somedays with our wonderful california traffic i can sit in traffic for about 1 hour. The car did run a little hot when it had the old fan and that is why i changed it over to the electric fan. Now it doesnt go over 195 no matter how long i sit. The wipers work but there are no wiper arms or wipers. I have been waiting to find them on ebay or at puck a part but had no luck. There are no known problems with the engine. I had it inspected and tuned by an old gear head in our area dn he said i runs very sound. The body is in excellent condition as well as the paint. there are ony a couple small dents that are barly noticable. The hood sits up a little higher on one side but looks to only need adjustment, the hood is not bent. The sterio and speakers are new. i installed them myself and work fine. The rear gate is bolted shut. the handel has been shaved and a custom license mount was put in the tailgate. i would not drive the car to Florida. I would have it transported because that would probbaly be cheaper than gas and there is no spare tire. I would take the risk of getting a flat or somthing going wrong. If you would like to make me an offer just let me know. There are 2 people coming to inspect it tomorrow & make offer
Q:Greetings, Is the brake system stock on the front of this BAD DOG?Feb-06-06
A:I am not 100% sure because from what i have found the 620's this year had disc up front. The has a large drum set up and the 5 lug Ford bolt pattern. The stock truck would have had a 6 lug bolt pattern. It does have a brake booster and the braking works very well and doesnt have any problems stopping. Take care"

Morris MAJOR

2006-03-23T22:07:00.000-05:00

"Wooden Wallclimberby Rick Feibuschphotos by John QuilterThis is about as American as a Morris Minor can get. A Morris Minor 4X4! Built by N. Joel Rytsis and son, Aaron of Roseville, California, out of a "basket case" Traveller that has been fused to the lengthened floor pan and ladder frame from a jeepish Suzuki Samurai 4X4. This new concoction features a 4.3 liter GM V6, trans and transfer case out of a midsize Chevrolet S10 Pickup. (The under-bonnet photo shows the internal combination of all three vehicles). Extra performance additions include an electronic ignition, a custom Made Griffin radiator, and an Edelbrock aluminum intake and 4-barrel carb.The Traveller body was restored as original, save for the wooden inside panels, and painted metallic silver. The additional high stance is from taller springs and the tall off-road tyres. The chrome side steps add some flash as well as aiding entry to shorter passengers.The car was seen last year at a number of California car shows including the West Coast Woodie Show in Santa Cruz and the British Car Day at Hayward.

Totally killed me not to bid on this.

But I thought I would be even more dead after driving it home from Bakersfield with no operable windows.

Not really an avant and it probably has precious little traction

Vehicle Description
You car bidding on my Fathers 1937 Citroen from Missouri, he drove this back to Michigan (3) years ago, the car drives out super. He was told it has a 400 cube inch chevy V8, turbo 350 transmission, mustang II front end, ford rear end on left springs and a custom tube frame; car was done about 8 -10 years ago.
It's a nice driver to take to the car shows, but if you want a show car it will need a repaint. Last summer he installed a complete new Tan interior from top to bottom, it also has new tires and tinted glass.
All the fenders are in super nice shape, they do have some stone chips. When all of the doors panels where off the car you could look inside the doors and see that they look to be rust free, except one corner has filler in it I don't know if it was repaired or what? The undercarriage looks good I did find a spot of rust where the floor pan and the left rear inner wheel well seem meets its an area about 1/2 inch wide by 6 inches long."
