INTRODUCTION: Only 600 miles on this absolutely dialed-in
performance machine! It received a body off frame, rotisserie
restoration with a GM crate motor, 6-speed manual, air conditioning
and a completely upgraded suspension. It looks incredible, handles
exceptionally well and is an absolute blast to drive.
EXTERIOR: The body received a full rotisserie restoration with all
new metal- there is zero rust. It is absolutely straight and
finished in deep basecoat/clearcoat Jet Black with gaps as precise
as a new Mercedes. The lower portions are protected with PPF to
help preserve that beautiful finish. All of the trim, bumpers,
weatherstrips and seals are new, along with factory style tinted
glass and upgraded LED lighting. The turn signals are incorporated
into the headlights, like a new Challenger. The SS hood was added,
but the emblems, antenna and vinyl top were purposely left off for
an exceptionally clean, sleek look. The Forgeline Roadster Shop
wheels absolutely make the car! They feature a retro six spoke
design, center lock application and three piece modular
construction, wrapped in custom made Nitto Redline tires. The
stance and wheel combination on this car is a 12 out of 10!
INTERIOR: It was completely gutted and made like new, including an
all new wiring system and fresh carpet. A '69-style center console
has a 6-speed shifter sticking out of it. ProCar Scat Rally XL
bucket seats hold you firmly in place while carving up the corners,
with the rear seat upholstered to match. The door panels, armrests
and window cranks were all replaced. Everything up above is new
too- the headliner, visors and mirror. Everything across the dash
is new, including retro looking Classic Instruments ZST Series
gauges, Classic Auto Air vents and electronic slide controls. A
tilt column topped with a leather cushion grip steering wheel
completes the driver's area.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is a brand new GM LC8 6.0-liter
crate engine upgraded with LS3 heads, an ASA Hot Cam and Edelbrock
Pro-Flo 4 electronic fuel injection. A Hi-Rise LS3 intake and
stainless long tube headers help it breathe, while an ICT Billet
accessory drive includes air conditioning, modern alternator and
power steering. It has all new wiring, a new wiper motor, aluminum
radiator with electric fan and a polished overflow tank. The
firewall and inner fenders have been smoothed for a clean custom
appearance. It's well engineered, beautifully installed and
absolutely spotless.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is spotless with clean, rust free metal
throughout. The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are finished in
beautiful gloss black, while inside the metal is smooth and neatly
finished in spatter paint. The weatherstrip has also been
replaced.
UNDERSIDE: This one is built to handle and ride like a new car! Up
front is a complete CPP tubular suspension with Pro-Touring sway
bar, Viking double adjustable coilover shocks and modular spindles
with C5 Corvette hubs. In back is a matching CPP tubular suspension
with a custom sway bar and Viking double adjustable coilovers. It
has big 13-inch CPP disc brakes, and the e-brake is new. The entire
fuel system is new, including the lines and hoses. A beautifully
fabricated 3-inch stainless exhaust is tucked neatly against the
floors with Flowmaster FlowFX mufflers and turned down tips.
Looking up at the motor, it's clean with an aluminum oil pan and
high torque starter. A Tremec TKX 5-speed uses a C7 Corvette clutch
and flywheel with a Tilton hydraulic throwout bearing. The clutch
has a nice light feel and the transmission clicks through the
gears. A new DOM tubing driveshaft leads back to a Quick
Performance Ford 9-inch with 3.73 Traction-Lok gears and 31-spline
axles. The body was off the frame and flipped on a rotisserie; the
floors are absolutely pristine metal, and everything underneath is
beautifully detailed and painted. All the cables, lines and hoses
were replaced. This is an exceptionally well engineered chassis
that delivers great handling and is detailed like new.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: We bought this from one of our fussiest customers, and
when he tells me he has a car for sale, I buy it! He's incredibly
meticulous- not only about the fit and finish, but every detail
behind the build: the right components, the right stance and making
sure everything works together. This car is dialed in from top to
bottom.
