I bought this car in Sep. of 2001. I had been kicking myself for 15 years for selling the one I drove in high school..my first car. I bought it pretty much as is except for the chrome under the hood and some minor cosmetic touches..."hotrod" emblems on front fenders, "bowtie" tailights and turn signal lenses. The front end has been dropped 3". The rear end had 3" lowering blocks when I got it. I drove it in a Christmas parade and several people asked if it was a low rider, and one guy asked if it hopped. So long lowering blocks. I am much happier with the stance now.

Engine is a 454, with an Edelbrock Performer intake, and a Holley carb.

Exhaust flows through headers, 2 1/2" aluminized pipes and turbo mufflers.

It has a Muncie 4-speed, and a 10 bolt posi rear end.

The wheels are Weld Racing Rodlite's with Kelly Charger rubber. I will be changing to BF Goodrich T/A Radials as soon as these wear out.

The interior is all in tweed, with buckets and a handmade center console. The headliner, door panels, and rear package tray feature embossed flames. It also has power windows in the front. The trunk is also done in tweed.
I should have more pics of the car in the next few days.

Future mods/additions include power steering, disc brakes, air conditioning, custom stereo system, "flame" steering wheel from Billet Specialties, and more chrome under the hood. I'm a chrome junky.
