Think this is a good deal for a rolling Vette drag car?

[Ram From Hell]

Just wanted to get some feedback from you guys on this. I've been looking for a home for a big block chev and powerglide that I have, since I think I'd be able to sell them easier and for more money in a running and driving car. This guy will take $6,500. All I have to do is pay for shipping beyond that.

After looking at the car's specs, and figuring I'm adding a fresh 500+ hp big block that's pump gas and nitrous friendly, and a Neal Chance built powerglide (I figure I have about 5k value in both), how much do you figure this would be worth?:dontknow:

Here's a photo and the specifics:

Back halfed with 4 link suspension setup, 9" ford rear 4.56 gears,anti roll bar, Fuel cell Mallory 250 fuel pump.MSD 7al3 with coil,retard. Gauges, Tach, Hurst quarter stick,10 point cage,Weld wheels,current belts. 29.5x13x15 slicks. BBC engine plates,2 sets headers,1 coated,1 painted set. Nice custom paint.Drop in engine and go race.

How many passes and what engine/trans combo was in it? I'd take a close look at the back half portion, frame, welds, etc. Is (or was) the build, frame, cage, car, etc. certified to any NHRA spec? Is the rest of the car's structure OE vette?

Sounds like a bargain for a decent drag car, how much will it weigh with the big block installed?

No real number on the passes available. It was a BBC w/ glide, and the welds are said to be all good. The car was caged OE chassis, and had previously been certified to 8.5.

That sounds pretty good, but I'd still get the welds checked out (by a 3rd party?). Also, what gear manufacturer set is in the rear? And what did they do with the diff, Detroit, open, spool? For gears, IMO, Precision Gear is the way to go.

All that back halfed this..............quarter stick that mombo gumbo is all well and good but How Many cup holders does this thing have. That would be a feature worth looking into..................
