95 Supercharged 383 TA for $6500!
NO Longer For Sale!
Sorry Guys, Circumstances have changed some and I think I may have gotten the hot rodding bug again so and I will end up keeping the car and fix some of the issues. If any mods see this, please delete this thread.
Car now located in Jacksonville FL.
EDIT:
I have had a bunch of PMs on this car so here's all the good and bad with the car:
Serious Inquires only please:
Here are the mods done to the car:Motor: 383 Motor with 9:1 comp (Forged Eagle 3.750 stroker crank, Eagle H-Beam 5.7 rods, JE SRP Pistons, Clevite bearings, Oliver 4 bolt splayed caps) Stock Heads, ARP studs CC305 cam, Canton Oil Pan with baffles to prevent oil starvation from hard cornering.
Other Power modss: P1SC Procharger with upgraded 12 ribbed belt set up and with 2 Core Intercooler custom front mount tubes from Mufflex, Jet Hot Long Tubes and Custom Built Mufflex Y pipe with Borla Catback exhaust, Delteq Opti (handles over 1000hp), custom dash mounted Scanmaster, Autometer Boost and Fuel Gauges custom mounted in the 2 ac vents for cleaner look and easy to see, Street Tuned MSD 50# Injectors, 255 Walboro Fuel Pump and racetronix fuel wiring, AFPR, Rebuilt Trans w/ 2800 stall Pro Torque converter, Custom Personal street tuning from Brian at PCMforless tuning. Also have an electronic cutout for the borla exhaust. Switch is mounted near driver in the car.
Suspension mods: Lakewood-LCA, SLP-Progressive Lowering Springs & BilStein Shocks, SLP-Panhard bar, 1LE Front & Rear Sway Bars, DMS-Sub Frame Connectors, Drive shaft loop, SS ZR1 Rims w/ New 275/40/17 Sumito Tires.
Other mods:
Stereo: Alpine HU, MTX Stealth Box w/ 10inch Alpine Sub, Polk & PowerBase Speakers & 2 Rockford Amps 4 gauge monster cable running to the rear to stereo.
Tinted T tops, Tinted passenger windows and hatch. All tints professionally installed and top quality tints.
Car has 153K miles on it but 383 has 30K miles on it. 10K of which was supercharged.
Blower has 15K miles total on it. 5K miles was on the stock motor with 4.5 pounds of boost.
I pulled the blower belt off the car when I first moved to Jacksonville FL in 2004 and never put it back on there because I was afraid I was going to break parts and not have a place to work on it (We lived an apartment complex at the time). Now we bought a home and I have been neglecting the car so its time for it to make someone else very happy. Car is a decent driver with out blower, with blower it's a LOT more fun. If someone had the time and money to upgrade the heads and put a more stout 12 bolt or 9inch Ford, maybe a 6 speed or a Th400 trans for more improved reliability, then this car has the potential to be a EXTEEMLY FAST daily driver. There is nothing wrong with my current trans or10 bolt. Car has well over $15K in mods alone.
The car made 430RWHP with stock heads before that tranny started slipping (that trans has been replaced) and the one of the blower tubes came off during the run. With some ported heads, and a better pulley this car should easily make well over 500RWHP. It now has turbo clamps so no more tubes blowing off. With the set up I was running, I was running the blower at 50K rpms at 5800rpms on the motor and producing 10# of boost. If you get a smaller pulley, you could get the blower to spin closer to its 62K rpm max and get more boost out it without overstressing the blower at all.
Here's all the issues with the car:Missing driver side clamp for sway bar easy fix but remember to ask for 1le sway bar clamp.
Needs one new o2 sensor or old cleaned.
Mufflex installed my headers and the custom Y pipe they built for the car but could not get the oil dipstick tube to fit back on I told them to leave it off and block it off. I think I still have the dipstick tube if you want to try to put it back on. The canton oil pan does have a second spot to hook up a second dipstick tube but I never got a around to do that. The Canton pan with a bigger PF35 filter holds 7 quarts of oil.
The head light motor needs to be fixed. I think taking them apart and re greasing them and aligning them back up should do the trick. I had bought the steel headlight gears and replaced them over 5 years ago so I think a cleaning and re greasing should work.
The front rotors need to be replaced as they are fairly glazed.
The dash is cracked in two places but is not that noticeable unless you raise your head and really look.
The pan drips a lil bit of oil which I think may have caused the o2 sensor issue.
I installed a separate huge tranny cooler on the car with a fan that is mounted underneath the car. Its gets more airflow and does not block the intercooler or radiator. I had a fan mounted on it but the fan motor is gone, that may need to be replaced. This is an easy fix and I don't think its necessary unless you are in a lot of heavy traffic and in the hot summer months. I have zero traffic at the hours I work so I never got around to fixing it and I live 4 miles from work.
Car has normal/minor scratches on the paint as it was my daily driver. It has some minor scratches and cracks on the dash from the sun but overall still in very good shape.
The driver side rear view mirror (on the inside of the door part broke off). You may be able to find a replacement easy or glue it back on there. I never did it because I thought the Florida heat would just make it come unglued again.

Mileage on the car itself is 153K but most everything has been replaced through the years, Opti to Delteq, Trans, Motor, Fuel Pump, injectors, Alternator, Battery etc..etc and the car is in very good shape for a 95

Rear is the stock rear with rear end cover.
Trans is built up with kevlar clutches, trans go shift kit, corvette servos and other goodies...I dont know that much about trannies but its pretty decent for a 4l60E with this kind of power.
Car itself as stated earlier has 153K miles on it.
Thx,
Claude

Correction, The car has 159K miles on it. I was going off memory. I have not drove the car in 5 months as it was just sitting. I finally gave it a bath today and cleaned the interior, installed a new battery and took it out for a nice long drive. I also bypassed the vats system today. I am really having second thoughts about selling it now 
I have a feeling that if someone does not make me a full price offer in the next few weeks, I may start fixing some of the smaller issues (like rotors and 02 sensors) and keep it. If I do that I may pull the blower off and sell it and get some new 30# injectors and get it retuned for non blower set up to get a lil better gas mileage out of it.
Thx,
Claude
