Mecahnically totally rebuilt by former owner, Joe. California black plate car. Everything brand new and upgraded, I started it and ran it in once it arrived here in Australia mid 2008.Joe fitted a narrowed 9" housing with 3:89 gears and a Trac Loc, traction bars, roll cage, tailshaft loop, line loc, Tacho, bullet proof C6 trans with Hurst shifter, huge Crites radiator, exhaust dump valves at the collectors, trans cooler, 8" & 5" Torque Thrust "D" rims with Mickey thompson tyres and more, about the only original things that were used in the car were the fuel tank, steering box and the rejuvenated rear leaf springs, all new pipes for fuel and brakes etc were replaced as well.
Plan to race it occasionally in nostalgia drags. And attend runs and the odd show, don't even want to repaint it (it has 100% original paint) I like it just how it is!.
