To start...This is a true matching numbers car!

Power comes from 383 Big Block, sucking air through a four barrel with real Mopar Air Grabber induction. Motivation comes in the way 727 automatic transmission which is floor shifted. The 8.75 inch rear end sports a 3:73 gear ratio with the "Sure Grip" differential. The exhaust is a "TTI" brand ceramic coated 3 inch system with full tube headers and DynoMax mufflers.

The interior was redone in black using Legendary supplied pieces. The stock steering wheel was removed and replaced with a Flaming River "Waterfall" wheel. The column shifter was done away with and now resides a B&M "Hammer unit" on the floor. Stu just installed a JVC audio system to keep the tunes rolling.

Just recently I had a friend who is an expert in metal work and custom painting completely redo the car's body and the interior. The process took over 18 months and there is not a drop of body filler on the car. Everything that needed attention was leaded in and smoothed over.

The car has a three color paint scheme with the top half black, then separated by a hand laid Silver flake stripe. The next color is a medium blue which transitions in to Cobalt blue to the bottom of the car. The hood has hand laid flames done in the positive negative look with green pin-striping that matches the pinstripes on the body.  There is a hand painted cartoon roadrunner on the front fenders.

The wheels are 18 and 17 inch American "Hoopsters" powder coated gloss black in the center.

I have attached a Youtube link of the car.
