laundry list of performance upgrades inside, with a C4 automatic
transmission. The engine bay features thoughtful upgrades like a
QFT 4-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and a Shelby-style
Monte Carlo bar, all contributing to its performance. The aluminum
radiator with dual electric fans keeps the engine running cool,
while the ribbed air cleaner and valve covers add a touch of style.
