So here she is. Its not much to look at right now, its pretty much a box with 4 doors in it. I've got a vision though, it'll be some time before I can do anything major to it, but after I graduate college and get another car to drive every day I'm going to tear into it and make it the ultimate sleeper.

 

 

Being an ex police car, this car is built to take some abuse. Its got a 318 with a 4-bbl thermoquad, and 360 heads that was built specifically for the AHB package. The engine has various modifications from the civilian 318 that makes them even more bullet proof then they already were.

 It has sway bars in the front and rear, and surprisingly handles pretty good for a big car.  Its got 2.94 gears in its 8 1/4 inch rear end for now.

 Its a pretty neat car overall, something you don't see every day. I plan on driving it everyday for the next 2 years until I graduate college and buy another car. After that I will start working on it.

 

 

So far I'm stockpiling parts

I have an eddy aluminum intake, dual exhaust kit, firm feel steering box, electronic ignition and a cam kit so far. I'm looking for some aluminum heads, and maybe some engine internals. I have a spare 318 out of a 1972 dodge demon that I might just put a stroker kit into and build a stock looking small block stroker to put into this thing.
