Sorry that was only one other picture, my computer is giving me fits, I will try again. As for some details on the car. It was registered in 2008, only has 3912 miles on it, has a smelling performance 347 stroker with about 425 horsepower. I know that is not a lot for the big block guys out there, but should be more than enough to keep me entertained. I really fell in love with the solid color, and I am a sucker for the small block FIA cars. Of course the fact that it is an ERA car made the decision so much easier.

Best Regards,
Byron

I noticed my mistake on the name of course after I submitted the post. You are indeed correct Sir, it is a Smeding crate motor. I am sure however that it smells amazing

Best Regards,

Good luck finding a quality carrier to handle the shipping of your new toy. I know that it can be expensive to ship a car across the country but it is worth the money to use a company that has expertise is shipping these type of vehicles. I know that FedEx and InterCity deliver a lot of cars for the large auction sites like Barrett-Jackson and really know what they are doing with these type of vehicles. I also know from experience it can be a case of logistics for the carriers as they want to maximize their load and minimize the miles. Again, good luck and I hope you enjoy your car.

Thanks Texas Snake,
It looks like I will be going with PLY Car to transport it for me. They were very professional in answering all of my questions, have a solid reputation on all the car sites I have visited, and came highly recommended from a friend of mine. I will certainly post more when the car arrives, and share my experience. Looking at end of May for delivery, I am so excited.

Things should dry up by then hopefully. Looking forward to a picture of you sitting in it.

Thanks 1795,
Your build has certainly been an inspiration for me to finally pull the trigger. Can't wait to see a picture of you driving your car as well.
