Not sure where or how to start describing this vehicle. First
impressions get people wondering. Second impressions keep them
wondering. They might notice the aggressive stance to the chassis
and wonder what lies beneath that custom body. Dressed in Black
with a hood scoop outlined in silver with blue pinstripes, the look
up front is super clean. There are no hood or fender lines breaking
up the flow of the body. The spoiler reaches low to the ground with
fog lights and ducts cut into it. An oval grill with horizontal
bars allows air in for cooling and headlights blend smoothly into
the fenders. The bed of this vehicle features road racing aero down
low and custom cutouts on the leading and trailing edges of the
wheel wells. A hard bed cover continues the silver with blue
pinstripe treatment down the center. Lift it up and you will find a
nice flat cargo area with extra stowage below a lift up panel.
Open the door and you will find an interior from the Caprice wagon
that the chassis is based on. The door panel has a black upper with
a pull handle set in wood grain panel. The center section is gray
with vertical stripes and is underlined by black which matches the
carpeting in the car. The bucket seats echo the look with gray
pleated seating surfaces edged by smooth black vinyl with SS
embroidered into the headrests. There is a leather wrapped steering
wheel mounted on a tilt column with cruise. A rectangular dash
display has clearly visible gauges for the speedo and tach as well
as fuel, oil, water and volt meters. Wood grain cuts across the
center with controls mounted in it including those for the R134 A/C
system and AM/FM radio. The black and gray center console has a
nice armrest as well as the switches for the power windows and a
shifter for the 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive that
was sourced from a late model Camaro.
Tilting the hood forward on this car is fun and dramatic. And, it
exposes another nice piece of hardware borrowed from the Camaro. A
6.2-liter V8 that sits down in the engine bay rather nicely. There
is a cold air intake, a black cover dressing out the intake
manifold, and silver covers with Chevrolet in script dressing out
the valve covers. Hooker headers flow back to a dual exhaust system
with free flow mufflers. The substantial amount of power that
engine makes is sent back through the 4-speed automatic that was
sourced from the same car so everything works together nicely. A
solid axle located by a trailing arm rear suspension with coil
springs transfers all that power to the ground. Up front, a control
arm suspension with coil springs and a stout sway bar keeps the car
cornering flat and ventilated disc brakes haul it back down from
speed when you decide to let the horses run. The rubber meets the
road through 275/50R17s in the back and 225/50R17s up front mounted
on American Racing wheels.
