I bought this roadster in 2013 from the personal collection of Monte Shelton , northwest racing legend and owner of Monte Shelton Jaguar dealerships . This roadster sits on a custom 1932 ford chassis with a chrome 4 bar drop axle suspension , Mustang rear end with triangulated 4 bar and Heidts adjustable coil over shocks , Chevrolet 350 ci. small block V8 that according to stamped suffix code originally came in a 1973 Corvette , and turbo 400 transmission . Rolls on steel wheels with BF Goodrich Silvertown wide white wall radials ( less than 2000 miles since new ) , it drives great and is comfortable and I'm 6'5" and 260 lbs. I've enjoyed having this car for seven years but it's time to retire and have to sell a couple of hotrods to help pay for a retirement home at the coast , when I bought this car the odometer read 20,800 miles , I was told this was correct for the car and the engine , before selling I wanted to be sure of condition so I took the top end off of the engine , it spotlessly clean inside and there was no ridge at the top of the cylinders and a nice crosshatch pattern from honing on the walls , I took the heads to Central Cylinder Head Inc. in Portland and had the heads rebuilt with all new valves , valve guides , hardened valve seats, and springs , paint is British racing green , it has some signs of wear as any hotrod with over 22,000 miles on it would . this is not a show car but is a very nice driver , at runs and events it gets lots of lookers and compliments . before anyone hits buy it now please come see the car or have your agent or someone you trust look at it for you . the car will not leave my property until my bank can assure me that wire transfer funds are good and not some scam ,I'm not sure how long that takes but that's the deal . if you have any questions call me at 503-890-1523 john , I work from 6:00 am till 2:30 pm . pacific coast time , I can't talk during those hours but can receive text . or leave a message and number and I will call you after work , thanks I will sell to buyers in U.S. , Canada , Mexico , Japan |
