For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamed of owning this car. Two years ago, I finally made that dream come true. Not long after, though, the motor seized up. I saved up and invested in a new 396 LT1 engine from Golenengineservice.com, and for a while, it felt like heaven. Unfortunately, the new engine was too powerful for the transmission, and it broke. My car has now been sitting for about nine months, and I just haven’t been able to save enough to get it back on the road.

Life has thrown me a few curveballs lately. I left a better paying job and a roommate because both situations were unhealthy for me mentally and spiritually. I have two kids, one in private school, and my money has been needed elsewhere. I’m grateful that God has provided everything we truly need, but it breaks my heart to see my dream car collecting dust. I keep the engine running and maintained, but without a working transmission, it can’t go more than a hundred feet at a crawl.

This car isn’t just a hobby—it’s something I hope to one day hand down to my kids (my daughter seems to love it even more than my son, though he’s more of a truck guy). I want to build it the right way so it’s a dependable daily driver, and I’d be so grateful for any support to help me get it back on the road. Every bit helps, and your kindness would mean the world to me.
