Background:

I purchased this car on 9/9/08 from Auto Gallery, a local classic and performance car dealer in Spring Grove, IL.  I am unsure of the total number of owners this car has accumulated.  The car has been restored, most of the work was completed in 2000, though it does retain many of it's excellent condition original parts.  Body panels (other than the aftermarket hood), and much of the interior seem to be original.  The front seats have been restored and carpet replaced.  The body, undercarrige, engine bay, and trunk have all been stripped, restored, and re-painted; all aspects are very nicely finished and detailed.  Suspension and brakes have been fully rebuilt.  Overall, the car is an excellent condition, super solid, show worthy driver with decent power on tap from the GMPP 350ci crate motor.  There have been some upgrades to the crate motor (Holley intake, full MSD ignition, electric cooling fan) boosting output to approximately 300hp/340tq.
