Arntz on ebay

[GVS]

This blue Arntz with white stripes and burgundy interior has been for sale for quote a while. Prior to being on eBay, it was for sale at Brighton Motorsports in Scottsdale, Arizona. I spoke with them extensively about the car: not much was known about it prior to the owner buying it at Barrett-Jackson in 2009. I posted on this forum seeking member input in January 2015: Seeking Information about a Blue Arntz with a single White Stripe and Red Interior

After sharing the pictures of this car with Jason Smith (former employee of Ron Butler Racing), we determined this car is of the Type II vintage (1977-79)

The engine is a Chevrolet 400 small-block which supposedly has been stroked to a 427ci and has an aftermarket front mount distributor conversion, where the distributor mounts into a cast aluminum timing chain cover (Summers Brothers sells these new today). The engine also has a Moon intake with 4 Weber side-draft carbs. The chassis has replacement front suspension arms from Guldstrand (cast aluminum): which appear to be a vintage kit (no longer available) which should reduce front end mass.

In my opinion, this is a very sharp car in a very unique color combination. I did not buy it as I am in the middle of home renovations and need to wrap that up before I consider a different toy. Best of luck to its new owner! I hope they enjoy it and can learn more of its history!
