There is no site. The fellow is a old time AMC'er with a ailment. The body is typical race car paint but the underside and structure is built well. If I don't buy it, I will post up more info.

The car is a literally a turn key 1977 Hornet hatch Race car with trailer. The engine is a fresh 390 with late heads, aluminum rods, etc. etc. The trans is a Joe Liberty pro-shifted Super T10. The rear is a Spooled 9" with 4.56 gears. The fastest time the car has ran is 8.90 (with a different engine). He really wants to work out a deal to trade it for a SC/360. John Adam is helping the fellow trade or sell the car due to health problems. John is the guy who just sold off his white 72 Matador race car on e-pay. I just talked to John and he said that i could post up his number but, I ask that you please don't call him unless you are serious.
John's phone number is (810) 397-7306.
Again, the fellow wants to make a trade deal on a SC/360 but if nothing is available, the price is $13,500.00 firm, including the trailer. Some body better jump on this one fast before I do!

Yes, 8.90 in the quarter is the best time. From my understanding it ran low 9's most of the time.

Would you happen to have additional photos than just the engine?

Hard to sell a car (one that actually belongs in cars for sale and not this thread) without body photos.

That was my misunderstanding. Sorry about that. I didn't know that he had a different engine in it when they ran 9's. Glad you called him to straighten it out. Regardless, still a steal.
