Introduced in 1989, Chevrolet debuted the Lumina with two body options; a 2-door coupe or a 4-door sedan. Serving as a more family oriented car, this Lumina on Craigslist begs to differ.

This 350 cubic-inch V8 under the hood is a surprise for this custom Lumina.

Straying far away from the term family, this Lumina for sale is a one of a kind Scorpion that the owner spent two years designing and building. According to the owner, it has an early 1970s alloy 350 cubic-inch block with numerous engine upgrades.

Producing a hefty 400 horsepower, it is clear that this Lumina wants the pedal to the metal, not a run to the grocery store. The black paint may look a bit faded but it’s truly hard to tell since the pictures look like the car has morning dew on it.

The custom body kit, headlights, and Scorpion decal separate this Lumina from the rest. What’s more, the Lumina has 20” wheels and tires that have less than 500 miles on them.

With close to $5,000 in engine work alone, the asking price of $4,000 for this Lumina is a steal. It doesn’t matter if you like Luminas or not, you’re getting a 350 cubic-inch V8 engine that is fully functional for a low price.

According to the owner, power hits the pavement with a rebuilt 1987 Cadillac Seville 440T4 automatic transmission. The one of a kind Lumina also has new ceramic brakes with drilled and slotted rotors and Brembo caliper covers.

The owner’s time spent on this Lumina build has paid off since they now have a 400 horsepower Chevy coupe. What are your thoughts on this Lumina?
