braineack isn't the owner. He just found it while perusing craigslist. You'll need to go to the link and reply to the owner via the ad.

I talked to the owner. It's a one-off although he did purchase Martin's axles only. He made up the rear diff hanger differently than the traditionally accepted way. It's a very rough project that has not driven under it's own power yet. The engine sounds like a good engine and the rear has been rebuilt with a new unit (probably was having trouble finding a factory limited slip 7.5). He did the front K-frame himself but it sounds like he kept pretty close to what Martin does. He replaced the steering rack at that point with a manual one which seems to be too wide, thus the car has to be flat bedded. He has not yet made up a trans mount. I believe he's including a Ford harness, computer and the fuel injection stuff with the car. It sounds like he just wants to get out from under it. I don't think there's a radiator in it.

It could be a good starting place for someone but its long from done. Someone could buy it from him and contact Martin about what would be needed structurally (a trans mount for sure and maybe a rear end hanger, a driveshaft from me) and have a pretty cheap V8 on their hands. The tub is in typical condition for the area and age.

If anyone wants me to take a look at it let me know. It didn't seem worth it to stop by.
