Vehicle was purchased (2007) with 1200 miles post build, and to date has roughly 1600 miles.

After purchase, a weird tick resulting in random non-starts led us to a performance shop in Texas, where it was determined that the block was machined outside of tolerance for the crankshaft clearance. The shop (name escapes me at the moment) undertook a complete rebuild (new block), including new custom headers, and rebuilding the transmission properly.

The car was dyno'd at around 430 whp.

The car is an absolute beast and a pleasure to drive, my father has reluctantly decided to sell mainly because it is taking up space in the garage and clearly (400 miles in 7 years) never drives it. I would like to say that the engine is blueprinted, but until I get the last few documents from him I am merely speculating.

Once the last few documents are in hand I will edit and update with any new data.

I do not have the requisite PM count so I will not be able to communicate via private message.
