The engine bay is a visual centerpiece — a fully show-detailed 350ci small-block with individual downdraft stacks feeding a Holley EFI system, finished in matching red with polished components and extensive stainless plumbing. The MSD ignition system and billet distributor provide modern spark control, while the custom aluminum radiator and serpentine system ensure reliability on the road.
Everything from the coilover suspension to the exhaust system is dialed in — built to drive, built to show.
🛋 Interior
Inside, you’ll find a full custom interior with luxury finishes and comfort in mind. Heated, full-power BMW front seats provide modern ergonomics. The custom center console includes cup holders and USB ports. Power windows, air conditioning, and a Holley digital dash make this a driver’s restomod — not just a trailer queen.
All gauges and wiring are brand new, courtesy of a full Painless harness and Dakota Digital HDX setup with Bluetooth and BIM module.
