Introduction: Groundup, meticulous restoration with a perfect
balance of vintage vibe while incorporating a lot of modern
features. Only 3,400 miles since finished.
EXTERIOR: This is a good looking truck! The body is clean, straight
and fits real nice. No rust or damage, the doors shut like new. Its
painted an attractive Matador red with a white roof and side
stripes. The paint is polished very smooth and glossy. It's the
Custom 10 which includes all the extra trim. It appears all of the
trim has been replaced: the grille, bumpers, side moldings,
mirrors, etc. It has all new smoked glass too. The weatherstrips
and seals were all replaced. It is squatted down on some 22 inch US
mags wrapped in performance tires.
INTERIOR: Completely restored retro with some nice modern upgrades!
It's been completely rewired including a modern push in fuse block.
All the metal surfaces are painted like the exterior. The dash
looks stock until you light up the gauges and realize they are
Dakota Digitals including a tachometer. The controls for the
Vintage Air are upgraded with electric slides. There's a JVC
Bluetooth stereo with hands-free microphone, serious satellite, a
hidden antenna and 2 speakers under the seat. New carpet down on
the floor. The seat is rebuilt and upholstered with houndstooth,
the visors are new. It has a tilt column with a deluxe steering
wheel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: New Skip White Performance 406 small block made
497 hp and 518 lbs of torque on the Dyno! It has AFR aluminum
heads, Edelbrock intake, giant dual feed Holley carb, premium fuel
fittings, lines and regulator. It also has MSD ignition system and
some coated headers. The front of the engine has a CVF runner
system with billet brackets and serpentine pulleys, the AC
compressor is mini and polished, modern one wire polished
alternator and modern polished power steering with a remote
reservoir. It has power brakes as well with Wilwood master
cylinder. It runs cool with a big aluminum radiator and electric
fan. All the engine bay is clean metal painted very neatly and it
has a set of CVF billet hinges that look great and feel smooth. The
motor is dressed with matched aluminum air cleaner, valve covers,
breathers and plug wire holders.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: There's new hardware on the tailgate. Inside has
extra wide wheel tubs for the wide wheels, the floor has satin
black wood boards with gloss black strips and stainless
hardware.
UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored! The suspension has been
completely rebuilt and lowered. The steering is rebuilt too. It has
a custom dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Upgraded with
Wilwood big brake kit. It's probably overkill but looks great
through the wheels! It includes big drilled and slotted disc at all
four wheels. And red 6 piston calipers front and back. Looking up
at the motor it is clean and has a high torque starter and chrome
flywheel cover. Upgraded with a 700R4 overdrive automatic. A big
aluminum drive shaft goes back to the completely rebuilt 12 bolt
rear with 3.42 posi gears. The previous owner said everything
except the outer housing is new. The under body of the truck is
rust-free metal painted gloss red.
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 service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: I'm really liking this truck! It still has that vintage
truck look but boy oh boy, you wouldn't expect 497 hp under the
hood! The overdrive, big brakes, posi and a/c are much appreciated
too. The quality throughout is impressive.
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.
