I have been wanting to do a wide body or flared shark for some time.
This last friday I bought the start of a giant money hole, a 1980 shark !
I was only interested in the body but when the deal was made I ended up with the engine and trans too.
It began as an L82/auto and currently has some small block in it with a Holley manifold, edelbrock carb,roller rockers,alum pulleys, chrome alt and oil pan, a unknown " cam", long tube headers, Dewitt radiator, a high torque starter, Holley fuel pump and who knows what else.(reportedly has under 10 miles on the combo). Also has a 12 gallon RCI fuel cell
Front has new drilled rotors. Interior is gone, has a 4 point roll bar welded to frame.
Frame and bird cage appear to be in good condition. (San Antonio car, hasnt seen much road salt or wet weather)
$1300 and it's now mine.
Rented a uhaul trailer and borrowed my daughters 4Runner and towed it back to Dallas and stored it in her garage until I get down that way with my Ram to bring it home.
Next spring I will be headed south to bring it home and get busy working on it.
In the meantime I will spend this winter working on my wifes '65 Mustang restorod.
