INTRODUCTION: Old school looks, new school performance! Powered by
a fuel injected LS1, this striking restomod provides a turnkey
platform that is known for its unmatched reliability. Pair that
engine with a modern overdrive automatic transmission and air
conditioning then you have a bonafied all day cruiser. This car
comes with a big stack of receipts and literature to document the
build, which includes pictures. Turn the key, hit the gas, and
never look back!
EXTERIOR: Classic and classy! I love the fact that the builder kept
everything stock looking but added modern larger staggered wheels
for a real slick look. The air ride lets you slam it down for a
real cool stance. Gazing down the side of the nice and straight
body is satisfying with its smooth contours and sharp lines. The
Ravishung Red paint was applied with great attention to detail then
polished to a reflective finish. The panels were nicely aligned
with good gaps that are better than average. All the glass
including rubber seals and fuzzy strips are new. All the brightwork
is nice and sparkly. The front grill was refinished and the
headlights were upgraded to halogen. The stylish "bullet" rear
taillights look like new, as well as all the emblems. It is rolling
on a gorgeous set of chrome wheels by US Mags that are 17x7s up
front and 18x8s out back. They are wrapped in a good set of
performance radials.
INTERIOR: Fresh and clean! The entire interior was refurbished
using lots of new parts. I love the fact that the builder used the
original style upholstery for a "factory" look at first glance. The
headliner, sun visors, kick panels, door panels, and carpeting were
also replaced. It has new seatbelts front and back. The rear shelf
was also redone and JL audio 6x9 speakers were added. The dash and
exposed metal was painted red with a satin finish, providing a very
clean look. It was upgraded with a nice set of VHX Dakota Digital
gauges that look great. Additional air vents were added under the
dash for the modern air conditioning system that works with the
original climate control. All the chrome is nice and shiny. The
controller for the air ride system is easily accessible. It was
also upgraded with a new polished tilt column and steering wheel
too. The rear view mirror is new and it has a nice set of
embroidered floor mats as well. The aftermarket center console has
a very practical storage compartment and cup holders, but could be
easily removed if you want.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Custom and contemporary! The 5.7 liter LS1
engine is rated at 355 horsepower. It is also fuel injected for
turnkey reliability. Being equipped with power steering, power
brakes, and modern air conditioning makes cruising a breeze. The
serpentine belt drive system really cleans up the clutter in the
bay. And the custom covers over the intake and valve covers really
dresses things up. An upgraded aluminum radiator with electric fan
keeps the powerplant cool. Everything was rewired using a Howell
engine wiring harness. It has practical and pretty strut assisted
billet aluminum hood hinges. The underside of the hood and fender
wells are neatly painted black. The firewall is painted Ravishing
Red just like the exterior. The latch mechanism was even chrome
plated for an extra custom look.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are
painted slick just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced.
Inside is nicely finished with custom cut carpet that matches the
interior and also has bound edges. The air tank for the air ride
suspension is mounted out of the way on the shelf and the lines are
neatly routed.
UNDERSIDE: Totally restored! The front end was gone through and
rebuilt with lots of new parts, bushings, and hardware. 2" drop
spindles were added for a nice rake and ideal stance. The upgraded
airbag system allows you to adjust the ride height with the push of
a button and slam it almost to the ground when parking. It also has
upgraded Ridetech Fox HQ shocks plus front and rear swaybars as
well. Very nice Wilwood disc brakes at all 4 wheels with slotted &
drilled rotors and new lines too. The dual exhaust system was
totally redone with o2 sensors and Glaspack style mufflers. Looking
up at the engine everything is nice and clean with an aluminum oil
pan. The 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission also looks fresh
and has a tubular cross member and a new mount. The rebuilt and
balanced driveshaft leads back to a Ford 9" rear end with panhard
bar. The floors are solid and rust free with neatly applied satin
black paint.
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.
CONCLUSION: I'm really liking this one! With its pre-muscle car
aesthetic and modern drivetrain you truly have the best of both
worlds. If you want to be cool on another level, this is the ride
for you!
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.
