Vehicle Description

Flat out rowdy! Stunning ground up restoration using mostly new parts. You will be the king of the streets flaunting a performance built motor and chassis. Add in the reliability of a modern fuel injection system and you really have something special. The words fast, loud, and beautiful describe this car perfectly!

EXTERIOR: Slick and shiny! The Sapphire Blue Metallic paint was applied with great detail and then polished to a beautiful reflective finish. The black racing stripes are applied under the clear coat. All the panels have been painstakingly aligned with consistent and tight gaps. The doors close easily with minimal effort. All the trim has a beautiful shine and the bumpers have been rechromed. It was also upgraded with a billet grille and a steel cowl Induction hood. The LED headlights and dual side mirrors are a much appreciated upgrades. It's sitting on a beautiful set of 18" Ridler chrome wheels wrapped in performance tires that are size 275/40R18 in the rear.

INTERIOR: Totally new top to bottom! The new Procar bucket seats are extremely supportive and recline as well. The headliner, door panels, dash pad, gauge bezel, steering wheel, rear view mirror, center console, rear seat, rear shelf, kick panels, and carpeting have all been replaced. The gauge cluster has been upgraded with an easy to read Dakota Digital unit. It also has a very cool Lokar automatic shifter, and the Ridetech air suspension controller is neatly mounted to the dash. It has a retro stereo that fits in the factory hole, it comes with an aux jack. The rear shelf and kick panels both have additional speakers installed.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: I'm flabbergasted! Under the hood is pretty as can be and highly upgraded with a LS3 engine that's topped off with a Holley Sniper Electronic Fuel Injection intake manifold. Other upgrades include a Fast fuel pressure regulator, electronic water pump, headers, and aluminum heads. The brake booster and master cylinder have been replaced with a chrome unit that also has a proportioning valve. The radiator was upgraded to a huge aluminum unit with dual electric fans and an aluminum overflow as well. It has beautiful and practical billet strut assisted hinges to hold up the functioning steel cowl induction hood. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and smoothed firewall are all painted body color.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick just like the body. A new weatherstrip was installed. The entire inside is boxed and carpeted. The battery has been relocated to the trunk. The pumps and other air ride components are concealed behind the panels.

UNDERSIDE: Completely redone and upgraded! It's now equipped with rack and pinion steering, tubular control arms, fully adjustable air ride, 4 link rear suspension, 4 wheel power disc brakes, plus drilled and slotted rotors. The dual exhaust system is awesome! It has a beautiful set of headers leading into gigantic 3" pipes with Black Widow mufflers that turn down and exit just before the rear end. The gas tank has been replaced. Looking up at the 6.0 liter LS3 engine it's nice and clean with a high torque starter. The 4L60e automatic overdrive transmission also looks great and has a new cross member. Additionally, it has a Ford 9" posi rear end with 3.73 gearing. Both the frame and floors are solid and rust free with a coating of neatly applied black paint.

SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this car and we replaced the spark plug wires, repaired the reverse lights, rewired the dash, calibrated the speedometer, installed a horn, installed the sail panel, installed a heater block off plate, replaced the window trim, and aligned the hood.

This car is absolutely gnarly! It was built totally right using high quality mostly brand new parts. It is very dialed in and ready to hit the streets hard!
