INTRODUCTION: Very meticulous frame off build with many handmade details! Don't let the subtle beige fool you, there's a dual quad stroker under the hood, and a built 4-speed with overdrive, a posi and custom chassis under the car. It is beautifully detailed throughout!

EXTERIOR: California car with a super clean body. A metal cowl hood was added, the laser straight panels fit square and flush. The beige paint is polished smooth and glossy. The bumpers were color matched. Decal stripes were added to give it some pop! The rest of the chrome and trim has been replaced or restored. The windshield was replaced and the windows were tinted. The weatherstrips were replaced. There is a third brake light custom built into the rear molding and a back up camera mounted above the license plate. so backup camera. It's rolling on Coy's five spoke aluminum wheels wrapped in G-Force tires, 17s in front and 18s in back that are much wider.

INTERIOR: It has been completely redone and has several custom touches. Upgraded with a Ron Francis wiring system. On the floor it has plush carpets with Lloyd's embroidered mats. The center console is home to the stereo, headlight switch, vents, air ride controls and a four-speed shifter with a custom drilled handle. The lower dash is upholstered and has dash pad on top. The instrument panel is custom with a beautiful set of Dakota Digital gauges. It has a nice cushion grip steering wheel and the turn signal lever was custom fitted with a button that controls the overdrive. The air ride gauge is below the dash and seat belts were installed. The door panels are reproduction with custom-made billet trim, handles and armrest bases. The headliner and visors were replaced.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It was meticulously designed, assembled and detailed. The heartbeat comes from a 385 that's been built, balanced and stroked. It has aluminum heads, dual quad intake with fuel injection, MSD ignition and coated headers. Beautifully finished tall aluminum valve covers, the front of the motor has polished brackets, alternator and pulleys with a serpentine belt. There are brushed aluminum inserts on the firewall and above the radiator. It runs cool with an electric water pump, a big aluminum radiator and overflow bottle with three electric fans. I am really impressed with the hard pipe hoses with custom fittings. The power brake booster is chrome and the master cylinder is polished. There is so much detail and handmade custom items in this engine compartment.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Even the trunk is filled with little details! Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted smooth like the car. It has custom upholstered inserts on the bottom of the trunk lid and billet stainless hardware. Inside it's completely boxed and upholstered. It has a side compartment that opens and built in lights that turn on with a switch. There's a battery box, the compressor and components for the air ride. The floor is carpeted and there's a special made cradle with hammered silver paint that holds the polished fuel cell. A chrome fire extinguisher, car cover and a bra is included.

UNDERSIDE: It was treated to a very detailed body off frame restoration! The frame was boxed, it has been smoothed out and painted hammered silver and has bow tie shaped access holes. Up front is upgraded with tubular control arms, coilover adjustable air bags, upgraded sway bar with billet brackets. The steering was all rebuilt, it has a 525 steering box. In back it has upgraded billet lower control arms, adjustable upper control arms, a swaybar, adjustable gas shocks and air bags. Stainless fuel and brake lines, and stainless e-brake cables were installed. The stainless Magnaflow exhaust system has an X-Pipe, machine turned pipes and polished turn down tips. The brakes were upgraded with polished calipers, drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels. Looking up at the motor the oil pan is painted silver like the frame and there is a high torque starter. A Lakewood scatter shield houses a Centerforce clutch. The Muncie M21 is a reproduction Auto Gear Supercase, and there's a Gear Vendors overdrive and a Hurst Competition Plus linkage. Complete rebuild of the 12 bolt rear end was done by Pro Differentials and it has an aluminum girdle cover. The rust free floors are pristine. They were given two coats of bed liner, two coats of primer, two coats of beige and then two coats of clear coat!! There's a battery disconnect and remote jumper terminals under the car along with a fuel shut off, filters and pump under the car. A custom made grille was installed under the radiator.

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: This car would cost a fortune to duplicate at a professional shop! Not only the typical restoration costs, but this car has so many hand fabricated one of a kind pieces and that's where labor costs really soar. A pile of documentation is included. It's a great value for a fun, unique muscle car!
