12K for only 400 HP, whos this guy kidding, you can get that for a stock 455 with a good set of heads & it will only cost about $ 1200.00. I think this guy really believes what he says to.

True,but if you want an engine built by "a retired engine designer",you have to pay the big bucks.

^^^ #94 heads... how many CC are those? I call BS on the 400 HP claim.

This car seems a tad overpriced...

Yeah... I'll say. Nice looking driver....but the $55k price ruins the effect. As for the engine compartment and interior, they could use a serious cleanup and detail. There's a difference between patina and dirt...lol

Check out the home made power steering pump mount. Also note the alternator mounted on the wrong side of the motor.

I noticed that but thought maybe Firebird with different battery side may have been different... Don't know much about the 'birds...

The battery is on the correct side But I thought that a survivor car was one that had all the original stuff, not repainted , rebuilt. As for the rebuilt engine how many decades ago did they do it. Usually you would repaint the engine too. I sold a conv. bird that was perfect in & out & it sold for nowhere near that price. After he's had it for sale for 10 or so years then he'll realize it's not EVER going to bring that price. Here's another case of BJ auction eye's . He'll learn

First bid of $1.00 might get this beauty.

$18,000 ??? It's not even road worthy. At that price, he should have it ready to drive, or at least cleaned for the pictures. It's a California car, so it's probably rust free. The GTO stuff is nice too, but it doesn't suffice the asking price. I would like to own that wagon though.
