Default Lost Job. Need to sell Cobra.

Guys, my uncompleted Shell Valley is for sale due to some events that occurred the last couple of days. I think I'm just gonna bow out gracefully right now and see if I can come back a little ways down the road.

Shell Valley 427S/C...less than a year old. It's rolling....and it's driveable as long as you don't need a windshield, a battery box, or front brakes.....hehehe....

It's got a 425ci Windsor stroker....484hp, 500 lb-ft torque.....Toploader 4 speed, 9" Ford with Strange nodular iron housing and Richmond gears.

I spared no expense in putting the engine together...I have a dyno video, all receipts, pictures, and notes during my build. Same way with the car.

In a nutshell, the car needs:

Front brake calipers, windshield, carpet, battery box, fuel cell, filler cap, wheels/tires, paint, front coilovers (it has some homemade shocks on the front for right now), door latches, hood latches, trunk prop, lights, and rollbar. It's basically a roller with the complete drivetrain installed...just needs accessories.

I have many many pictures...there are some in my gallery....will provide more upon request. The ones in the gallery aren't very up to date. The car is sitting on temp wheels and tires now....with sidepipes installed....driveable.

I'm looking at my spreadsheet....I have $24k in it so far....I'll consider any offer within reason.
