James' 68 cuda fastback for sale...

Okay...I bought this car for 3 grand. I spent another $3500 on the front suspension rebuild, doing everything right with quality parts.

The good:

-$500 adjustable QA1 shocks on all 4 corners
-$200 Just Suspension 1.0" torsion bars
-$300 RMS Disc brake spindles
-$700 RMS Iron disc brake kit
-$100 Aluminum disc brake master cylinder
-$350 Firm Feel big ball joint tubular upper control arms
-$200 RMS tubular adjustable strut rods
-$485 Flaming River 16:1 manual steering box
-$185 Firm Feel 11/16 heavy duty tie rod ends
-$200 Hellwig custom sway bar to clear the 17x8 5.72" b.s. mustang rims
-Boxed lower control arms/tig welded
-K Frame blasted and painted
-Quality Moog parts used throughout (ball joints, LCA bushings, tie rod ends)

-The rear suspension is a 1968 B-body 8 3/4 axle with the spring perches moved inboard 1/2" each side. It has a nice used 3.55 clutch type sure grip in a 742 center section, that works great and lays 2 good solid black lines! It has NEW 10x 2-1/2" drums that I bought, new wheel cylinders, new shoes, new brake lines. The axle and backing plates were sandblasted and painted low gloss black. It also has new "Green" style wheel bearings purchased from Doctor Diff. Also has the aforementioned QA1 adjustable shocks. About $900 Invested in this rear axle...

It has a partially factory specs rebuilt 318 with a 904 tranny.

The short block consists of a cast crank, factory rods, and cast keith black silvolite pistons. It is bored .060 over. New rod, main, and cam bearings. Edelbrock performer manifold, and RPM cam kit, MP windage tray, comp cams double roller timing chain, MP aluminum 6 blade water pump, and Summit brand Pro Street harmonic balancer.

I have $1200 in the short block.

The heads are 360 J-heads with 1.88/1.60 int/exh valves, which need some machining and a valve job. Probably better to get a nice set of the RHS heads... I have the 1.5 Stainless Steel PRW roller rockers. You need to finish assembly on this engine and install it...

I have a NEW fuel tank, with a 3/8" sending unit and NEW pre-bent 3/8" fuel lines from inline tube that I haven't installed yet...$350 invested in that...I also have a $200 12 circuit mini fuse complete re-wire kit from EZ Wire.

The bad:

The car has rust issues. It needs a trunk floor, a passenger side quarter panel, bumpers need to be straightened, and needs a driver side fender.

The interior needs help, but has bucket seats, rally gauge cluster with 160MPH speedo and factory tach. All glass is good.

I am selling this car because I lost my motivation, and after installing all these nice parts, only to find this car needs more body work and rust repair then I am ever capable of doing. It is a never ending money pit and I feel I must stop before I empty my entire bank account and end up with a car that doesn't run or look as good as most of the cars on this site...I guess I'm hanging up my towel...

Nearly 10K invested. Will accept $4500 or best offer. Car will need to be towed. If it doesn't sell, I will part everything out and would probably make more money. Oh well, I don't care anymore.

PM me here. I will get pics up very soon.....
