I have owned this car for 10 years, Did some bracket racing with it , it had a 511 big block, Three years ago i talked to a great restoration guy, the car was complete except for fuel cell in trunk, he removed all racing parts, installed new trunk pan, took body apart piece by piece. Painted body shell every crack got painted.New body plugs all factory parts no after market parts what so ever. This guy is good. So far in the body is $10,000. I am puting a 0.30 440, callies crank,bill miller rods, ross 11.1 pistons,440 sourse stealth heads,585 comp roller. Just a good street pump gas engine.3500 coan convertor,8 3/4 with 391. will post more pics as i make progress :!: Thank all of you for the nice comments believe me my wife is worth every penny spent for putting up with me all these years. she has gave up alot racing with me and helping out with my race car's :!:I told her three years ago that i was selling it because we had too many car's but it went to shop instead :!:

That's gonna be a cool azz street car. If it were me I'd put a 2010 Camaro front clip on it :shock: :shock: Just kidding :wink:
