Looks like I screwed up the title a little bit, sorry.

This is Chop Top #13 & it's for sale.

I'm going to post it up on EBay in a few days but I thought I'd post it up here 1st.

This is an '85 GT 4 speed car. We chopped it a few years ago for a customer. When we chopped it he he brought along a late model GT rear clip & we chopped that instead of the notchie rear clip the car was born with.

After we did the chop the customer took it home & used me LT1 Master-Build Kit to install his LT1 engine. He also installed the rest of the body parts to make it look like a late model Fiero GT. Then he & a buddy painted it Black.

A little while after that the customer needed a bit of cash quickly & I bought the car from him. That was about 2.5 years ago. I had planned to invest a few more $$$ in it and make it my personal driver. However, I had bought it with the idea that it had a good paint job on it. After getting it and seeing the paint job I was quite a bit disappointed and the car sat inside at my shop until just a couple of months ago when I decided to get it sold.

The transmission that was in the car was makingh funky noises when I got it. So when we decided to get it going. The 1st thing we did was to take the V-8 out of the car, replace the transmission & put the engine back in the car exactly the way we put them together in our shop. So it's assembled with all the same parts & methods that we'd use on a customers' LT1 swap today. The engine is an LT1 that the customer supplied (& originally installed). It seems to run fine & drives out pretty good. I'm told that it has the GM "Hot Cam Kit" in it, but I can't verify that. It doesn't burn any oil & seems to run & drive out just fine.

The body/paint job is about a 7 on a 1 to 10 scale. The prep work that was done before putting on the paint was poor. There are some sanding scratches & some spyder web cracks that were just painted over.

It also has some unique features including a nice tail light panel with Vette lights in it, a unique hood scoop and some nice 1/4 panel scoops.

Here are some pictures of it as it is now.













Thanks

Archie

I'm thinking around $11K. If it had a good paint job & was lowered a little & a couple of other little things, I wouldn't sell it for less than $19.

I like the matching side and hood scoops, very nice idea.

Bump for an Archie chop (and Archie V8 re-install)!

I sure wish I could fit in a chop-top...

Sure, there are several choppers here now. 3 or 4 of them can be sat upon.

Can you resend your phone number, the one you sent has too many numbers in it.

Here are some better interior pics I took today. There is a little dust on the lens, it always shows up on pictures of Black cars.

I'm sure I mentioned that it has new black carpet, it also has a new black headliner.

Where were these deals when I was building my car... $11K is a steal for a Chop top LT1, even with bad paint.

SOLD!

Thank You for participating

Archie

BAH Anything else forsale thats comparable?

Prolly not.. worth a try I guess.

Isn't DL10 thinking about selling his GBCT?

Thank God is sold! I just found this thread and have been looking for a V8 choptop but really have too many cars at the moment so I don't need another. Being sold will help keep me married.
