INTRODUCTION: This is in my top five of all the cars we have right now! It has killer looks, the performance is unbelievable and yet you can put it in overdrive and just cruise with the air on if that's what you feel like doing.

EXTERIOR: Killer fit and finish, I did my inspection and did not find a flaw. The beautiful Ascot Blue metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished like glass. Every inch of the body's absolutely straight, the panels fit real nice and the metal cowl hood is a nice touch. All of the chrome moldings, grille, lenses, weatherstrips and windshield have been replaced. The wheels are the perfect choice adding to this car's perfect stance. They are Boze wheels: 18x7s in front, 20x12s in back wrapped in Nitto performance tires!

INTERIOR: Completely restored inside with some tastefully done upgrades. It has good looking digital/analog gauges, upgraded Vintage Air electric slide control panel and a retro stereo. In between the custom bucket seats is a custom console. The deluxe wheel is on a tilt column. The rear seat is reupholstered, the side panels, armrests, rear shelf, headliner have all been replaced.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Amazing! Not only does it look incredible but the performance is awesome. My lead mechanic is raving about this one, he says it's the best built car that we've had! It makes a great first impression when you open the hood with so many polished components. What we have is a dyno tuned LS3 block, 416 ci, Callies crankshaft, Weisco forged pistons, Cam Motion cam, roller rockers, Wegner drive kit, ARP stainless bolts, chromoly push rods, Trick Flow CNC aluminum heads, 3 liter polished Whipple supercharger, Holley Terminator X fuel injection stainless headers and a flex fuel sensor allowing it to run on ethanol. All this delivers a reliable, smooth running, neck snapping 850hp. Change the pulleys and it can deliver 1300hp! It also has an intercooler, remote breather catch cans and the front of the motor has billet pulleys, brackets, a serpentine belt, polished mini AC compressor and alternator, and modern power steering. It runs cool with a Cold Case aluminum radiator, polished overflow and an electric fan. A polished air intake tube and one of a kind valve covers look great. It has a Wilwood master cylinder and new wiper motor. The metal is all filled and smoothed, painted slick like the car and the hood opens effortlessly with the billet hinges.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted slick and have some real nice billet hinges. It's been boxed and upholstered with a carpeted floor. The tank is a reserve cooling tank for the intercooler (in the video I mistakenly said it was for methanol). There's remote battery terminals and an Optima is hidden behind the panel. It includes extra pulleys, belt and a car cover.

UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored, every component removed and most were upgraded. The frame was powder coated and it's been fully upgraded with a custom chassis. Up front has fat tubular control arms, with QA1 coilover adjustable gas shocks, heavy duty swaybar and all the steering was rebuilt. More than just frame connectors, the frame rails go to the back with tubular cross supports. In back it has a four link system, QA1 coilover adjustable gas shocks, and panhard bar. Upgraded brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels. Custom made 3 inch welded stainless exhaust with x-pipe and MagnaFlow mufflers. Looking up at the motor it's all aluminum with a high torque starter. The 4L80E overdrive automatic has a high performance build that will handle up to 1500 horsepower. It has a PTC billet converter and in back is a Quick Performance 9 inch rear end with 3.50 true track posi gears and 35 spline axles.

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: This one checks the boxes! It is ridiculously fast and yet you can cruise comfortably all day long. It is such a pleasure just to look at, but you're going to want to get behind the wheel go have some real fun!

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.
