This is one of our nicest cars but far from the most expensive! It offers luxury and muscle all in one. Only 1,200 miles on a $100,000+ restoration.

EXTERIOR: The paint job is among the best I've ever seen! It is literally white glass, even the jambs. The body is pristine, every inch is laser straight and the gaps are precise. It's a nice bright white with some metallic for some extra sparkle. The blue stripes are smooth to the touch. The windshield was replaced and the rest of the glass has been tinted. Almost every piece of chrome and trim has been restored or replaced. It is sitting on some shiny 15 inch Cragar wheels: 15x7s in front and 15x8s in back. They are wearing Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires, drag radials in back.

INTERIOR: This has the deluxe XL interior which includes bucket seats with a console, padded dash, woodgrain trim and more. Down on the floor it has Hushmat sound deadener, fresh blue carpet and matching floor mats. The seats are reupholstered and the door panels have been replaced. The headliner and visors are new and fit nice and tight. All the interior lights work. The center console and dash area are very good condition. It has a new deluxe steering wheel and the original radio has been converted to FM. A matched set of gauges and and tachometer were added.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It's a healthy 447 stroker FE engine making about 450 hp! On top is a new tri-power setup with a factory aluminum intake and Holley carbs. It also has a set of coated headers and an MSD ignition system. Dressed up beautifully with finned valve covers, air cleaners and a/c compressor cover. It features power steering, power brakes and a working air conditioning system. It runs cool with upgraded aluminum radiator and Edelbrock water pump. Everything looks neatly installed. The battery is secured, horns work, squirters are hooked up. The metal surfaces are painted nicely.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are literally painted as slick as the exterior. It has a new weatherstrip and a working trunk light. It has been boxed and upholstered with a carpeted floor. There is a spare tire behind the panel. A jack and 2 tubs of extras are included.

UNDERSIDE: It has been upgraded with a complete Hotchkis Stage 2 TVS suspension system. This includes front and rear custom control arms, swaybars, lowering springs, Fox gas shocks and more. The custom exhaust has a crossover pipe, stainless mufflers and electric dumps! The fuel system has been completely replaced including the tank, sending unit and lines. The brake system has been completely rebuilt: new lines, e-brake assembly is hooked up and it is upgraded with Wilwood disc in the front. Looking up at the motor it has a Moroso extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter. The transmission is a rebuilt heavy duty C6 automatic and in back is a heavy duty Ford 9 inch with posi gears. The floors look like a black chalkboard: completely smooth, dry and clean metal with a black satin finish.

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.

Really, this car is dialed in and someone is really going to enjoy it. I wish all my cars were this nice!

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.
