Hello Car Craft Magazine. I am the second owner of 14 years of this now frame up fully restored up very rare 1970 Canadian version Strato Chief. The American version of the Bonneville / Catalina body series.
Powered by a rebuilt and modified 350 Chevy V8, as well rebuilt 3 speed automatic and added shift kit with a 2800 stall converter, which all shift at 5,000 RPM when we get on it. The power to the road is put to the ground by a ltd. Slip differential and 3.36 gears. The Original color was silver but now wears a very cool GMC spinnaker medium blue metallic paint base , topped off with a clear coat.
The engine and undercarriage are highly detailed sporting many Edelbock accesories, upgraded cam, pro-form roller rockers, 3 core rebuilt rad, all new suspension,with front and rear sway bars, brakes, KYB shocks and too many other custom parts to list, topped off by an Accel Kool Blue air filter that breathes out through Dyno Max jet coated headers with 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust with Flowmasters 40 series for a great street rod sound and max horsepower.
She rides on 15 inch polished aluminum American Torque Thrust II's rims wrapped with Performance 60 series Dunlop radials. Estimated horse power is well over 350.
Overall this car if just fun to drive and a great highway performer.
