Vehicle Description

INTRODUCTION: Only 350 miles on an open checkbook build. It has everything from a 700 HP NASCAR engine and custom chassis to a first class leather interior and all the comfort features.

EXTERIOR: Phenomenal fit and finish! The body is straight as a rifle barrel from rockers to roof! It was cleaned up with flush door handles, shaved rain gutters, a flush mount fuel door and the emblems, antenna and moldings were shaved. The composite Manta scooped hood has racing locks. The wine metallic paint looks like a piece of hard candy, its polished smooth and glossy. There's some high end painted graphics on each side that's smooth to the touch. All of the stainless is polished like chrome. All of the chrome is replaced including the window frames. All new smoked glass and weatherstrips. Intro wheels wrapped in Pilot Sport performance tires.

INTERIOR: First class in here! My words won't do it justice but I'll try, look at the pictures. Every square inch was professionally customized. There's so much sculpturing and 1 of a kind hand fabrication. It's upholstered in hand stitched, glove soft Italian leather. There are 4 bucket seats and a very nice center console. Custom sculpted side panels and rear shelf. The dash panel has a carbon fiber effect and premium billet Vintage Air controls and vents. A custom lower panel was made for a very finished look. The custom gauges show just 339 miles on the odometer. It uses an electric e-brake and a keyless ignition! You hit unlock on the key fob then push the starter button to fire up that NASCAR motor. The console is home to luxury items like power windows, a 12 volt receptacle, JBL Bluetooth stereo and cup holders. Too high class for you? That manual 6-speed shifter will remind you that you're in a wolf with sheep's clothes! You won't see the Fat Mat sound deadener or the amps and speakers but you will appreciate that they are there. The leather wrapped Billet Specialties wheel is on a polished column.
