Purchased from the original owner in 1991 with 34,000 miles on it.
Below: the original LS-5 454.
And this is what it looked like when I brought it home...
After 12 years, it is time for a little change - I added the Chevy Van / Truck rims. They were actually available in '74 on the Spirit of America Impalas. I have only seen pictures of them, but I like the look - especially when they are painted body color. And I can easily pop the beauty rings off and put the original hub caps back on.

Got to hang out with Gene Simmons. He is tall, and of course, his boots had 3" heels that day.
