I can't say enough good things about this car! It's one of the best
we have with outstanding fit finishes and function inside, outside,
top to bottom! Found on an Indian reservation in Montana, it was
then removed from the frame, stripped to a bare shell and put on a
rotisserie. Restored as a tribute to the ultra rare factory built
lightweight race cars. It even features fiberglass panels and a
correct 427 dual quad just like the original. Restoration photos
and documentation is included.
EXTERIOR: The body was stripped to a bare shell and put on a
rotisserie. Every panel was sandblasted and restored. It was primed
and blocked 3 times, painted completely inside and out then color
sanded and polished. The roof is tastefully painted to match the
interior. The finish is like glass. It features high quality R-Code
lightweight fiberglass hood, fenders, trunk lid that fit precisely.
It also has lightweight bumpers. All off the trim was restored and
the weatherstrips were replaced. The windshield and door windows
were replaced. New old school Torque Thrust wheels were installed
when the car was restored.
INTERIOR: It was completely gutted inside and lined with Dynomat
sound deadener. The seats were recushioned and upholstered in
genuine leather using the original style pattern. New carpet and
matching mats were installed on the floor, seatbelts were added in
front. The interior bright trim was restored. New wiring and dash
pad.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This completely rebuilt, blueprinted and
balanced 427 FE motor was Dyno tested at 427 hp and 461 lbs of
torque! Built by Survival Motorsports, FE motor experts and the
Dyno sheet is included. It has a factory steel crank, Comp cam,
correct c3ae-j heads, factory dual quad aluminum intake, proper
bj-bk 600 cfm Holley carbs and even reproduction spark plug wires.
It is upgraded with Flame Thrower ignition system and stainless
headers. It's looking good too with chrome valve covers and
aluminum oval air cleaner, both proudly displaying the 427 cross
flags. The entire engine bay is restored. The components were all
new or replaced. It has an upgraded aluminum radiator, correct
expansion tank and hoses. Upgraded power brake system with dual
reservoir master cylinder. It even has the washer fluid bag hooked
up to the squirters, the dust flaps over the suspension and new
wiring. All of the components have fresh finishes, and the metal
surfaces are painted slick!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's finished as nice as the rest of the car!
Under the lid, jamb and inside are painted slick. Under the
insulated mat in Dynomat sound deadener. The side liner panels were
replaced. It has a jack assembly in a custom made leather bag that
matches the interior. It even has a new 5th matching Torque Thrust
wheel for a spare!
UNDERSIDE: Completely new and rebuilt suspension and steering
components with Eaton rear springs. The frame and chassis
components were sandblasted and powder coated. Upgraded with disc
brakes at all four wheels, e-brake cables were replaced. Brake and
fuel lines were replaced. The fuel tank was replaced too. Nicely
installed dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and factory style
resonators with turn down tips hidden from view. Looking up at the
motor it is spotless, it has a high torque starter. The T10 4-speed
was rebuilt with NOS gears, NOS Hurst shifter, new tail shaft, and
has a Lakewood bell housing. The rebuilt driveshaft leads back to a
Currie 9 inch ordered with extra H.D. housing/axle package, 31
spline, True Trac posi and 3.25 gears. The floors were sandblasted
on a rotisserie and painted beautifully in a glossy burgundy. It
looks virtually new under this car!
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
This is truly one of our best restored cars! The fit, finishes and
function are very impressive. What a great value, a professional
shop would easily charge double what we are asking! A real R-code
lightweight would cost double if you could find one! Someone will
be very, very happy get this very dialed in, show quality car with
some real muscle!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
