Since being built nearly ten years ago, this has been a show car
and has won many awards. It was displayed at the prestigious SEMA
show in the ARC Audio booth. In early 2019, after the engine was
overheated, a completely new engine was built. A period-correct
(71-74) 360 block was used and built to 408 cu. in. specification.
The engine, which has only had break-in miles cost in excess of
$21,000. The transmission was completely rebuilt as well and was an
additional $3,000.
