8-second 30th SS Convertible
George Baxter's 1997 30th SS convertible, as raced in PRO/Edelbrock Xtreme Street class. Has run 8.6 @ 160+MPH.
Motor and trans fully rebuilt in last month. You need nothing else to make 8-second passes (except an NHRA "competition" license). Includes a 26-ft enclosed trailer, so you tow it to the track, you add C-16 and stomp on the pedal.
383 Dart Iron Eagle block, fully CNC machined for weight reduction. Brodix 10X heads. Engine management by MoTeC (at least $5,000 in MoTeC equipment including M800 computer, IEX 8-channel ignition driver, "mini-dash", extended data logging, wide band O2, driveshaft rpm sensor, etc - the list goes on), $2,000 custom-made 2" step headers, Vortech X-trim with huge, custom water-to-air intercooler (runs approx 24# boost), custom solid roller cam, shaft rockers, coolant lines to siamesed exhaust ports, full crankcase evacuation system.... in short the absolute best parts, engineering, machine work and assembly money can buy. All assembly, tuning and dyno work done by Second Street Speed, Perkasie PA. Go to the "authorized tuners" list for MoTeC, and you will find there are very few, with names like Kenny Dutweiler, along with Bill Hunsberger of Second Street.
Engine dyno shows 1,325HP SAE corrected. Chassis dyno shows 1,000+ RWHP.
Trans is a custom built TH400, just upgraded with a ton of billet parts. $2,000 adjustable convertor.
Rear axle is Moser 9-inch, with light-weight bolt-thru center section, gun drilled axles.
Wheels are Bogart P1 Billet SS.
Front suspension: Addco springs/shocks, suspension travel limiters, Mark Williams light weight brakes.
Rear suspension: HAL/QA1 shocks, 94 Formula springs (at least my springs have made an 8-second pass
), Full Spohn suspension, installed by Steve Spohn - LCA's, relo brackets, custom torque arm. Mark Williams brakes, Wolfe sway bar.
This car pulled a 1.31 60-ft, and will go 1.2x easy with a more aggressive launch.
Probably a lot of other stuff I forgot.... go to this link and look over the pictures:

$35,000 or best offer. MUST sell immediately. Contact me.
(Business reasons forcing sale - it is breaking his heart to sell it. It was all ready for the Maple Grove PRO/Edelbrock event when he found out he had to sell)

I know that is a heart-breaker for him.... I have watched this car for what seems like forever thinking "what's he going to do to make it faster?". This is an amazing car!!

In order to go to the F-Body "match races" and run with the fastest, he had plans to add a little bit of nitrous, and see how close he could get to running in the 7's. The engine is built to handle it.
Thanks to all for keeping this up near the top!!! I can't believe there is so little interest in getting a car like this for about 1/3 of what it cost. If I had the cash, I'd loan it to him, and park the car in my garage until he could pay me back..... welllllll, maybe just one, or two passes.

So if there are any hardcore guys out there that are looking for a racer, this is a great deal!

I think that is the reason.
