I built this car in 2013. I've had a great time with it, but the kids are grown now.

It was built for comfort and simplicity, I'm 6'3 and fit fine, anyone can jump in and just drive it like a regular car.

Seats 4 SAFELY - there are no sharp edges or dangers in the back seat for the kids to bear.

I have $45,000 worth of parts and labor thrown into it. It is definitely not a show car but looks pretty good and does what it is supposed to do.

This is an overview of the build...

6" over Front Beam with 2.25x1 over front trailing arms and combo link spindles

Aluminum Tie Rods with heavy duty heims

Rack & Pinion Steering kit with electric power steering

3x3 rear trailing arms

Reinforced axles with Lobro 930 cv joints race tuned

14" of full travel front and rear - actually balanced and functional

Neutral Ride height 11" from ground, 4.5" at full bump and 18.5" at full droop

Fully built 091 with Weddle rack and pinion, Weddle Gears, Geared for good balance of off road and street driving

2.4 GM Ecotec with Mitsubishi turbo, custom tuned LE5 supposedly 250 to 300 hp depending upon how you measure it

Griffin Aluminum radiator w/ overflow bottle

Kennedy Stage III Pressure plate

Tuned King Shocks all 4 corners

Tatum disk brakes - Both Left and Right Cutting / Turning brake

Wilwood pedals and master cylinders

Electric power steering

Great tires and wheels

15 Gallon Fuel Tank

It is as street legal as they come. If you've been doing this for a while you know there is not really any such thing depending upon the cop that you get.

Top Rack is removeable, Canvas soft top is fully removeable and customizable for windows or sun shade, etc.

Fully Caged and PROVEN - I have rolled this car several times, once at about 70 miles an hour. No significant repairs necessary other than fixing blown tires.

I have driven it more on the street in the past few years than offroad. I have NEVER been pulled over or challenged. Of course, I'm sure the day will come.

I'm looking for a decent offer, I do not need anything else but more open space in my garage so no trades please.

Clean Title Car, tags are good, current, paid and up to date through 2022. You do not need to smog this car for registration and transfer.

I'm in Camarillo, 93010
