EXTERIOR: The Brite White paint was applied with great attention to detail then polished to a smooth and shiny finish. The blacked-out hood treatment and rear bumblebee stripe are precisely applied vinyl decals. Looking down the side of the body it is nice and straight with smooth contours and sharp lines. All the panels are painstakingly aligned square and flush with nice consistent gaps that are spot on. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The windshield was replaced and the remaining glass looks to be good originals. It has dual chrome sport mirrors and pop-up racing style gas cap. The bumpers were rechromed and the trim has a marvelous shine. The power bulge hood with 392 HEMI emblems looks really tough. The front grille, headlights, and bezels are in fantastic condition. The taillights are very nice originals. The correct polished square exhaust tips are exiting through the rear valance. It's rolling on a set of modern aluminum 15" Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich radial T/A tires.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Turnkey reliability! Lots of horsepower! The Mopar Performance Gen III SRT crate Hemi makes 485 hp and 475 lbs of torque! This one is upgraded with Holley stainless steel headers and an Edelbrock air intake. It also has an aluminum radiator with electric fan and all new wiring harness with ECM. The brake booster and master cylinder were replaced and it also has a hydraulic clutch reservoir. The hood hinges were also replaced and all the bolts in the bay are new too.
