i dont really wanna do this but i gotta get a house soon.. My 1977 HX 1 tonner may be for sale. Anyone who went to summernats probably would of seen this car, and if they did they would remember it. Engine 350 010 Block Flat top pistons (10.2:1) Shotpeened Rods Hydraulic Cam Victor Junior Manifold Heavily Ported Fuellie Heads Double Valve springs Holley 750 d/p Holley Blue Fuel Pump Half inch Fuel Lines Big K&N Filter With different extractors, the motor made 186rwkw. would benefit from some rollers and a big solid cam, i got told i could expect well over 200rwkw with a crane 246 solid. Gearbox Rebuilt Turbo 350 Stage 2 Shift Kit 3500 Dominator stall Exhaust Genie Extractors Twin 2.5 inch pipes dumping it the diff Suspension 6 Cylinder springs 90/10 Shocks Diff 9 inch 3.77 Gears Was spooled, but have taken out, so is single spinner, was only taken out for the cruise up to summernats but someone threw it out when they cleaned out the shed. Exterior Custom one off candy green, with heavy gold pearls, and ice flake. anyone who has seen this colour in the flesh can tell you it is unlike any other colour ever used before. Alloy tray, covered with checkered vinal Toolbox dropped into tray, battery relocated into there. Interior GTS Dash (Black) Black carpet Grey VR bt1 seats Monster Tacho mounted on steering column 2 Autometer guages mounted in/under the dash. Wheels Car will be sold with 15x6 and 15x9 Weld Prostars Bridgestone 205's on the front Sumitomo 295's on the back Other stuff not on the car i have a quicksilver shifter and some chrome pieces which would go under the rear of the car. Things needed car is badly in need of a tune. needs a big thermo from sydney speed supplies, i can reccommend a certain brand. diff needs a spool in it again to stop wheelspin. NOTE if you dont like my price, hit your back button. im not interested in what you say your mate has, or your dad. im here to see any interest for my car. i have invested nearly $40k in this vehicle, and could be a show stopper with the interior done. i dont thrash this car, anyone at summernats can tell you that it was parked up all day, and did not do one single skid. i have too much respect and love for my cars to do that. if anyone has any pics from summernats be sure to post them up im sure i've left some stuff out, but if i remember any i will add to this. PRICE DROP!!!! $17.5K ono Contact me via PM or on [phone removed] Thanks very much Kane Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

For anyone who is interested in the car take it from me. Photos make this car look shit. In the flesh the cars paint is completely different. I know people say this all the time, but photos dont do this cars paint job any favours. So if you are interested go down and take a look. When you get there you will see what I mean. Good luck with the sale Kane.

thanks heaps wellsy; if you know of anyone that wants it let me know like i said guys, tune, spool and thermo fan, and your lookin at a show car that pulls twelves in complete street trim. this car has the capability to go Elite, and that is part of the reason i am getting rid of it. i know if i keep it everything will be chrome and leather, and i need to get a house.
