I originally bought the car in Georgia, it cost me about $300 I thought that was a really good price for its condition. But when I got it home I saw what really had to be done. I yanked the stock 6 cylinder and put a 289 v8 hipo. I had to replace both floor pans and quarter panels. I removed the cale vent and smoothed it over. I removed the old gas cap and welded in a gas door off a late model ford probe. The engine is bored 30 over and i put a new cam in. I lowerd it about 2 inches and put 16inch American Racing Torq Thrust 2s.I painted it in a two tone prowler orange over prowler silver with a small pinstrip. I shaved all the doorhandles emblems and key holes. I added a fiberglass shelby hood. I showed the car for the first time at the Hot Rod Nationals in June and won the Slick and Smooth award.
This is a picture of my car at the Hot Rod Nationals. This is the picture that showed up in the september 2003 issue of the Goodguys Goodtimes Gazette after winning the award.(pg24)
I couldnt decide what kind of intake to run so i made my own. This is a 5.0 fuel injection from a truck that i converted to a 3-2 manifold.
Heres a look at the gas door i put on from a ford Probe.
Its kinda hard to see because of the shadow and because its black but i just got done upolstering the trunk.
If any of yall are wonderen why i care so much about the award its b/c i was competing aginst 7000 other top notch hot rods, and because this award is the same award my dad first won at the same car show in 1995. And also b/c all the work was done by me, my dad of course helped with the paint but that was the biggest achievment of my life.
