Hey Nice!  Are you trying to corner the market? Or just tired of shifting and you wanted a slushbox? Looks like a nice. Any more pics? |

I'll take some pictures after Turkey day. It is a stick, the Reseda, CA car. My first stick was also from Reseda, CA back in 1985. He remembered seeing my car back in the day. One owner, build sheet, window sticker, 1983 trans am catalog and owners manual. He just hasn't found the foam for the lumbar support. No dings, no dents, no scratches and perfect recaros. It always had been garaged and never left in any parking lot. It also came with the wing used on the Firebird 500's with the receipt from Pacific T-Tops the ones who made the wings.  |

Ha! When I get a new truck and a trailer. I think in the car's whole life, I only had it parked outside overnight during big car show that were far away. Speaking of garages, where do/are you going to park all yours? George |

Simo, what wheels are on the car now? (I am guessing 16 x 8 crosslace).

Dan,
The rims are KMC airflows, chrome with directional inside angled slots to help cool the brakes. Different offsets front to back and 245 15 inch tires. They will go on the 350 Blosdale Racing 5-Speed DT500 instead of the 15th wheels. Then I can clean up the 15th rims. I will put the original DT500 rims on it after the first of the year.

Sounds cool. I'll have to wait and see them in the pics.
I have never heard of a Blosdale Racing car, sounds interesting.

Dan, Jeff Blosdale was my engine builder sadly he passed away. He mostly did racing boat engines. He built four engines for me. He was located in Torrance, CA and then moved to Lake Havasu, AZ. www.tridentboats.com/news/20/loss/In fact while we were doing the 350 for the DT500 my car was broken into by smashing the side window. Keep in mind the car has no inertior other than the recaro's and they couldn't get the t-tops off with the locks on (type one in the other post). Now on the other hand my automatic DT500 had the other type locks and they got the t-tops again smashing the side window at my apartment on the street. I had the insurance install the newer factory locking t-tops with the pins. |
