INTRODUCTION: Wow, is this a stunning car or what? The fantastic
body lines are perfectly complemented by the gorgeous color,
aggressive stance, and polished wheels. This is a fresh looking,
show quality custom that turns heads everywhere it goes! But the
real pleasure is getting behind the wheel. It's roomy, comfortable,
equipped with air conditioning, and powered by a reliable 350 V8.
This is a street rod you can actually get out and enjoy!
EXTERIOR: Absolutely gorgeous! This car looks like a piece of hard
candy. It features a high quality Minotti fiberglass 3-window
chopped coupe body with a sleek, smooth appearance. No bumpers,
exterior trim, or door handles to interrupt those beautiful lines.
The suicide doors open by remote, and the poppers and control
module have been replaced. The body is straight, fits together
nicely, and shows no damage. The taillights and turn signals are
flush mounted, and the teardrop headlights complement the classic
styling. The color is amazing! It has a smooth, deep, glossy finish
with only a few minor nicks that you'd really have to look for. The
smoked glass adds to its custom appearance, and it has power
windows. It's rolling on a gorgeous set of polished Billet
Specialties wheels, 17 inches in front and 20 inches in back. The
staggered sizes give this coupe an outstanding stance!
INTERIOR: Very tastefully designed and professionally finished!
It's also surprisingly roomy and comfortable. The clean,
uncluttered dash features a matched set of gauges mounted in a
billet bezel. Oval Vintage Air controls and vents are neatly
integrated into the dash. Even the underside of the dash has been
boxed and upholstered for a finished appearance. The ignition,
light, and wiper controls are tucked out of sight. A polished tilt
steering column adds some shine, and there's a Bluetooth stereo for
your favorite music. The bucket seats are upholstered in genuine
leather, and the driver's seat is power operated. There's plenty of
room behind the seats, too. The molded door panels are beautifully
upholstered. The floor is covered in excellent carpeting with
custom-made mats. A custom center console houses working interior
lights, power window switches, and a Lokar shifter. There's also a
matching set of polished pedals. Overhead, you'll find a custom
console, a cloth headliner, and a working dome light. Everything is
beautifully coordinated, creating an inviting interior that's as
comfortable as it is attractive.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The reliable 350 V8 runs great and looks
fantastic! It's equipped with an EnduraShine intake, Holley
carburetor, HEI ignition, and headers. The engine is dressed to
impress with a matching set of polished valve covers, air cleaner,
plug wire holders, and brackets. Additional details include a
chrome distributor cover, billet transmission dipstick, chrome
alternator, and more. It's equipped with Vintage Air conditioning
and power steering for comfortable cruising. The radiator is cooled
by electric pusher and puller fans. Several components have
recently been replaced, including the water pump, crank pulley,
alternator, electric fans, carburetor, wiper motor, belts, and
spark plugs. The engine compartment itself is just as impressive as
the motor. The smooth firewall and surrounding panels are painted
to match the beautiful exterior, and even the hood hinges are
billet. It's a clean, detailed presentation that's worthy of
showing off!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Just as nicely finished as the rest of the car!
The trunk opens using an electric release inside the vehicle. The
entire compartment has been boxed in and professionally upholstered
and carpeted. Even the underside of the trunk lid is upholstered
for a completely finished appearance. The battery and fuel filler
are conveniently located in the trunk, and the battery is new. The
trunk light works, too. No shortcuts here!
UNDERSIDE: The bottom of this car looks pretty close to new! It has
a boxed frame reinforced with tubular gussets. Up front, there's a
polished stainless cover and a Mustang II independent suspension
featuring chrome tubular control arms, chrome coil springs over
adjustable gas shocks, and rack-and-pinion steering. In back,
there's a 4-link suspension with chrome tubular control arms and
adjustable coilover shocks. All the rear suspension bushings were
recently replaced. It has front disc brakes, rear drums, and a
power brake unit mounted underneath the car. It also has a
functional emergency brake system. The entire exhaust system is
stainless steel with glasspack mufflers and large chrome tips. The
custom fuel tank is polished like a mirror! Looking up at the
engine, you'll find a chrome fuel pump, chrome oil filter,
high-torque starter, and a finned aluminum oil pan with a matching
flywheel cover. The Turbo 350 automatic transmission is equipped
with a finned aluminum pan and a remote oil cooler. A polished
aluminum driveshaft transfers the power to a Ford rear end with
3.90 Positraction gears. The level of detail underneath is
impressive, with plenty of polished and chrome components. This is
an underside you'll be proud to show off!
CONCLUSION: This is a showstopper from every angle! The gorgeous
color, incredible stance, beautiful interior, and highly detailed
engine compartment make it something special. Best of all, it's not
just built to look good. With a reliable 350 V8, automatic
transmission, air conditioning, power steering, and a comfortable
interior, it's built to be enjoyed. Whether you're pulling into a
car show or cruising down the road, expect plenty of thumbs-up and
attention.
