I'll miss MAXIMVS but I know it is in good hands. I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, so I'm dealing with that and not saddling my wife with selling a race car if things don't work out. For now, the cancer is localized and has not spread so it's treatable. Chuck (snook)

I actually bought two new cars. A 1958 Ford (yes I know) Country Sedan Station Wagon and a 1973 Dodge Charger SE fully loaded. The 58 wagon is completely restored with everything an old man needs to drive. 5.0 HO mustang motor, AOD trans, A/C, P/B, P/S and cruise. The 73 Charger is a 440 Car...

I sat down and tallied up to what it would take to make MAXIMVS truly street worthy. I came up with a price that would allow a future owner to make it truly street worthy and that price is 35K firm. The car also comes with various spare parts including a 1965 big block push button trans (needs...

I'm willing to drop price by $3300 to cover cost of a 440 source 500CID stroker kit to bring it down to an acceptable level, that's what I was planning to do. I'm nothing if not unreasonable. I'm not trying to make a killing on the car. Chuck (snook)

Never tried it on pump gas. I use a avgas blend with 94 octane... Compression test at 205+ psi. Chuck (snook)
