There is a long history behind this car. First of all i am a sixteen year old boy who loves pure american muscle cars. The car was originally my dads. He bought the car when he was 18 and it was almost brand new, it had 3,000 miles on engine. PERFECT interior and exterior. He was rebellious and decided it would be cool to run straight jet fuel through the origonal 350 Small Block... That lasted about a day... it was awsome to see 10ft flames come from the exhaust but...fried EVERY SINGLE piston. so he had to take the engine out and decided to go with something a little more peppy and hard core switching the origanal 350 with a 400 in 1992... Then came trouble with the car. My real mom had an identical car and got IRRITATED with my dad taking her car and smashing into the driverside door. Then took a metal ball bat breaking every window out and smaching in the hood, both front and rear quarter panels, and roof. . . . she then took a knife and stabbed the hell out of the dash and stole everything in the car... the car was considered "Totaled" My dad being a mechanic... fixed it ALL. axcept the inside. the seats and dash are screwed...still. and my dad did not want to give the car to me. because my little brother and step sister wanted it. so he sold it for a grand.... and ther guy who had it messed up the wiring TOTALY so there is none. but i wanted that car. it was and still is my dream car. so i went to the guy. he said no less than $6,000. so i did what i had to. i got 6 grand and bought it back. :) my dad was not pleased at first but is now happy i did.
