What an incredible custom build! One of the nicest paint jobs I
have ever seen and a mechanical masterpiece! It drives as good as
it looks, if not better! 1 finger steering and stops on a dime. 427
with 540 Horse Power and genuine leather interior.
EXTERIOR: The paint and body are absolutely amazing. The body is
laser straight, the paint is high end German Glasurit base
coat-clear coat paint mirror, and when I say mirror, I mean you can
read the fine print on a contract from a loan shark in it! Even the
unseen areas such as the jambs, bottom of the rockers, etc. are all
of the same quality. The windshield was pulled and the dash was
repainted to the same finish before installing a new windshield.
All the weather stripping, window felts, etc were replaced. The
doors and sheet metal fit excellent. They open and click shut with
ease. It's a CA car with new quarters. SS Hood was re-fabricated
and raised for a higher cowl. All the bumpers, door handles and
chrome were replaced. SS 427 badging were added, not a real SS.
Black convertible top is excellent.
INTERIOR: The interior is custom made in genuine leather
upholstery. 4 hides of leather were used, even the door panels and
console are leather. It has the rare fold down rear seat. Dash is
nicely detailed, all the chrome knobs replaced, metal repainted.
Has Dakota Digital tach and gauges, the heater controls all move
freely and are operational, wipers work, classic am-fm stereo that
fits in the factory hole. The top frame was dismantled, painted and
detailed and a new black top was added.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine bay is very nicely detailed. New
Griffin performance aluminum radiator. The engine is a 454 block
rebuilt to 427 specs. Has roller camshaft, high volume oil pump,
Edelbock aluminum heads and intake, GM valve covers and a 7 quart
oil-pan. Quick fuel dual feed Slayer 750 carb. with K&N filter,
MSD electric distributor with AL6 multi-spark box, blaster 3 Coil
and MSD wires. Ceramic coated headers and 2.5 inch aluminium
exhaust with Hooker welded mufflers. Transmission is a 32 spline
M-21 with a large input bearing, new clutch, pressure plate and
throw-out bearing. Custom built Ford 9" rear-end with 3.50 gears,
hardened axles with a Chevy bolt pattern and a Detroit Locker. The
entire drive-line was balanced and is running Redline synthetic
oils.
UNDERSIDE: The undercarriage was completely dismantled, sub-frame
removed and respectably detailed. Rust free original floor pans,
new brake and fuel lines, new gas tank, new suspension front and
rear. Front and rear sway bars, new springs, traction bars, Gabriel
air shocks. This car was custom built for fun and they hit their
mark. It is a blast to drive and is strong competition at any show.
It has excellent street performance and drives effortlessly with
smooth steering, easy stopping, tight shifting. A car anyone can be
proud to own.
I, Brian Grams, just returned from a small road trip with this car
putting just over 500 miles on it, and I could not have been
happier with its performance. It was mid 80s and sunny, I drove it
on average of 70 MPH for about 2 hours straight and it never missed
a beat. It never got hot, would start hot as easily as it would
cold, no slow cranking just popped right off. At 80 MPH you can
take your hands off the steering wheel and it will drive perfectly
straight. The entire car has been balanced, there was no
vibrations.I drove it in packed tourist town with lots of stopping
and slow driving with no issues. Plus when parked, in the sun with
the top down, the tan interior never got hot to touch. This trip
was surely a test of endurance and this car passed with flying
colors!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail.
