INTRODUCTION: Wicked fast! If a 632 cubic inch, 815 horsepower crate V8 doesn't get your juices flowing, check your pulse! Frame off restoration with lots of driver friendly upgrades including, fuel injection, air conditioning, Tremec 5 speed, custom interior, and much more. This one is built to the hilt and not for the faint of heart!

EXTERIOR: She's got the look! The Gulf Green paint was neatly applied and polished to a reflective finish. The black racing stripes are also painted on and really enhance the overall aesthetic alongside the cowl induction hood. All the panels have been painstakingly aligned and the doors close easily with minimal effort. The bright work has a lustrous shine. All the glass was replaced plus it has new rubber seals and fuzzy strips. LED headlights and dual side view mirrors are much appreciated options. The front grille appears to be brand new. The ensemble is rolling on an attractive set of 17x9 SS billet wheels with Nitto performance tires.

INTERIOR: Custom and comfortable! I love the Dakota Digital Retrotech gauges that are backlit and include a very useful tachometer. It also has an upgraded Vintage Air climate control panel with easy to use electric slides. A retro stereo, USB port, and rear JBL speakers keep the good vibes going. I'm sitting on a very comfortable and attractive reclining TMI bucket seat. In back is a matching TMI bench seat. Lots of other brand new parts including side panels, armrests, window cranks, and fresh carpet on the floor with reproduction floor mats. It also has a nice reproduction console with 5 speed manual shifter sticking out of it. The tilt column, cushion group wheel retractable, front retractable seat belts, headliner, and sun visors are all nice and new. The car was rewired including full harness and an updated push-in fuse block.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Goodness gracious! A BluePrint Crate Pro Series 632 cubic inch big block making 815 hp & 775 lbs of torque steals the show! It has a forged crank, rods & pistons, roller cam, aluminum heads, and high rise intake manifold. Dyno tuned right at the assembly plant. It also has a custom made S3 ECU EFI Harness, Hooker Super Competition coated headers, Accufab throttle body fuel injection, Wilson manifold injectors, MSD ignition system and polished valve covers. The front of the engine has an EM frontrunner system with all polished components including the mini A/C compressor, serpentine pulleys, Powermaster one wire alternator, and modern power steering with remote reservoir. It runs cool with an upgraded aluminum radiator including overflow bottle, water pump, and dual electric fans. The chrome hose clamp covers are a very attractive finishing touch. It also has a Optima red top gel battery and the squirters are hooked up. Upgraded billet aluminum strut assisted hinges help you lift the hood effortlessly. The engine bay is nearly painted body color and has a nice 1972 Chevelle front filler panel.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Painted and proper! Under the trunk lid, inside the jamb, and the entire compartment has clean rust free metal painted Gulf Green. It has a custom cut carpeted mat with bound edges and a piece of insulation underneath it to keep things dry. The weatherstrip was also replaced.

UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored and highly upgraded! The front steering and suspension was completely replaced with beefy tubular control arms, coil over adjustable gas shocks, and a fat swaybar. In back it has tubular control arms, swaybar, lowering springs, and Fox adjustable gas shocks. Long tube headers connect to a fat dual exhaust system with crossover pipe, Flowmaster mufflers, and stainless tips exiting under the rear bumper. The fuel system was completely replaced including new lines. Upgraded front brakes with a Wilwood Superlite big brake kit including drilled and slotted rotors and 6 piston calipers. Also has new 11" disc brakes in back and the emergency brake is hooked up. When looking up at the engine it has an extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter. The new Tremec TKX 5-speed manual trans also looks great and has extremely upgraded Cryo treated internals, heavy Duty scatter shield, billet flywheel, and Centerforce dual friction hydraulic clutch. A race balanced driveshaft transfers all those horses to an American Powertrain 9 inch rear end with 3.70 posi gears and 31 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: Don't think twice! A car this good looking and fast will fly off our showroom floor just about as quick as it will go down the quarter mile! Hang on tight because it's going to be a wild ride!
