INTRODUCTION: This car is an absolute knockout! Everything about it
works- the sleeper look, aggressive tires and stance, killer color
combination, and of course the performance to back it all up. Under
the hood is a supercharged LS putting out serious power, but the
entire car is built to be driven and enjoyed. It looks incredible
sitting still, but wait until you get behind the wheel.
EXTERIOR: The gentleman we acquired it from was a body man for 30
years, and his experience certainly shows. The panels fit very
nicely, there's no rust, and looking down each side it is straight
and smooth. It has a clean, understated appearance with all the
emblems removed and no antenna, although it does retain the bow tie
mirrors flanking each door. The bumpers have show quality chrome,
while the grille and stainless trim around the windows have all
been restored. All of the glass was replaced with smoked glass, and
the weatherstrips were replaced as well. Best of all, it maintains
that old school look of a post sedan, rolling on 15-inch steel
wheels with poverty hubcaps. It has Cooper tires, extra fat in back
which might be your first clue that there's something muscular
lurking under the hood.
INTERIOR: Stunning in red and absolutely pristine, this interior
captures the essence of a '66 Biscayne while incorporating modern
comfort and style. Starting on the floor, it has a beautifully
fitted red carpet with matching mats. The two sport bucket seats
are very comfortable, and I love how they were upholstered in
vintag style fabric that looks right at home in the car. Both the
driver and passenger seats are power. The rear seat was rebuilt and
reupholstered to match. The side panels are all new reproductions,
including the armrests, window cranks and handles. Overhead is a
new red headliner and matching visors, all fitting tight with no
wrinkles. The entire dash area is pristine. It has a new dash pad
and instrument bezel with a sparkling chrome outline, along with a
full set of custom gauges. The climate control panel has been
upgraded with Vintage Air system with electric slides. A custom
center console features an armrest, large storage compartment and
cup holders, and it houses a touchscreen Kenwood stereo with hands
free controls. Speakers are built into the console along with 6x9s
in back. It also has a tilt column with a polished wood rim
steering wheel and an upgraded wiring system with modern blade
style fuses. It's exceptionally clean and tidy, right down to the
smallest details.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Very clean, tidy and impressive engine
compartment. At the heart of it is a 6.0-liter LS with CNC-ported
LS3 heads, an LS9 cam and an LSA supercharger, producing
approximately 750 horsepower! It has coated headers, a serpentine
front runner system and an AMW air/oil separator for the PCV
system. The firewall and inner fenders have been smoothed, and all
the metal is beautifully finished in silver. It has modern heat and
air with the lines neatly concealed behind the inner fender and
billet fittings where they pass through the firewall. A Champion
aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps it cool, and even
the hoses use premium compression style clamps. It also features
power steering with a remote polished reservoir, an all new power
brake system, upgraded Newport Engineering wipers and a modern
alternator. Everything is thoughtfully installed and neatly
organized, giving the entire engine compartment a very clean, high
end appearance.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and throughout the jamb,
it's painted slick Lunar Silver. The weatherstrip has been
replaced, and opening the trunk reveals a great pop of red. Fresh
carpet covers the floor, and the entire compartment is completely
boxed and upholstered for a very clean, finished appearance. A rear
panel opens to reveal the subwoofer and relocated Optima battery,
neatly secured with a billet hold down.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and everything underneath
this car has been restored or replaced. The frame was powder coated
and all of the suspension is new, including tubular components,
front and rear sway bars, and a four-link rear setup with a Panhard
bar. The steering is all new with CPP components. The brake system
was completely redone with disc brakes in front, stainless lines,
and all new components including the e-brake. The fuel system is
equally impressive with stainless lines, a Rick's stainless fuel
tank, ZL1 fuel pump, and VaporWorx controller. It has a beautiful
MagnaFlow stainless exhaust system with an X-pipe. Looking up at
the motor, there's a Holley aluminum oil pan and high torque
starter. The 4L80E overdrive automatic transmission uses an ATI 10%
overdrive damper. The rebuilt driveshaft has heavy-duty 1350
U-joints and connects to a 12-bolt rear end with 3.90 posi gears.
From the nuts and bolts to the springs, shocks, U-joints, steering,
suspension, brakes and fuel system, virtually every component
underneath this car has been replaced.
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: You're more than welcome to come see it in person. If
you're on the fence, I have a feeling that'll be the deciding
factor. Once you see the quality for yourself, hear that
supercharged LS come to life and take it for a ride around the
block, you'll be coming back inside to sign the papers!
