All Aluminum Donovan Fuel Injected 388" Traco built Engine. Donovan Aluminum Block, GM Raised Runner Aluminum NASCAR Heads, Custom Traco Fuel Injection set up utilizing GM TPS, ISC, Runners, etc.-No Maintenance!, Carillo Rods, Callies Crank, Stainless Steel Headers, etc. The best parts money can buy. Engine build was $26,000.00. Dynoed at 472 HP @ 6,900 RPM.

Oil Cooler.

Custom 3" Exhaust by Desert Driveline.

ZF 6 Speed Transmission with McLeod Aluminum Flywheel and Hydraulic "Street Twin" Twin Disc Clutch.

3.55:1 Rear

ZR1 Brakes

Full Guldstrand Performance Suspension.

Epsilon 3 Piece Wheels with Michelin Pilots. 17 X 9 front/ 17 X 11 Rear.

Integrated Roll Bar- Soft top goes up and down normally.

This car was featured in the 1988 Road and Track Top Speed Shootout against mostly $100,000.00+ cars. NASCAR driver Ricky Rudd pushed this car to 172 MPH at the TRC test track in Marysville, Ohio and nicknamed this car "The Mule" because it ran the most laps at speed. Keep in mind, at that time the car had the base 372"/ 380 HP Traco engine that was later upgraded with the 388". Imagine what 100 more HP and 100 less pounds would do!

This car can be driven daily. It has cold A/C, a 500 Watt Denon Stereo System and at 120 MPH in 6 th gear gets 24 MPG!!!!

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone who wants a 1 0f 1 car. Nothing sounds like this thing. It's a blast to drive and gets TOO much attention. See pics in my gallery.

I have all receipts since day one. I purchased this car from a personal friend who bought the car new and had the car built. The chassis has 43,000 miles on it. I pulled the engine and transmission 2 years ago and had the engine gone through and the clutch rebuilt by McLeod.

My problem is trying to determine the value of it obviously he wants a lot for it lets say between $30-$40k it has 43k on the clock what are your thoughts too much money or not?
 
That is sweeeet, what's with the holes in the liscence plate location (air intake)I never liked the way a roll bar looks on the verts, just looks too narrow.

Got anymore pics?

Thanks

That's gorgeous when compared to his mule. He's still got it in the back of his shop. :lou
