Ford Other 1970 Description

As much as I love, and probably SHOULD keep this car forever, I am thinking about selling or trading it for something else. I REALLY want a '68-71 C0rvette, but I'll get into that later. I'm flexible on the price, but before you lowball me, or even offer, come check out the car in person. This thing looks way better in person!

Car has not been dynoed yet, but I believe it to be making around 800rwhp on 17psi and 93 octane pump gas. With race gas it could be turned up a good bit more! Have not had it at the track, either. I don't want to get carried away with possibilities here, but I believe it can run 9s in the 1/4. I will eventually take it to the track to see what it'll do. Until then I thoroughly enjoy driving it on the street, to car shows, cruises, running errands, at day or night, rain or shine, traffic or whatever. It behaves very well and tame on the street!
I'd really like to sell it so that I can be picky about the next car, but here are some trade considerations: 68-71 C0rvettes, resto-mods, high hp street cars, C6 Zoh6 C0rvettes or built C6/C5. I could possibly also add about $8k if I sell my daily driver in time. Don't want trvcks except for high hp L1ghtnings, don't want car payments, don't want drag only racecars. (I had to purposefully misspell the other vehicles because CL doesn't like them mentioned for some reason).
I'm located in Goose Creek, SC.
