I bought the car exactly one year ago June 1st 2001 from my brother
in law. I had to sell my 1971 chevelle 454 to get it, but I really
wanted this car. I bought the car for $7000 and drove it on a u-haul
trailer to west palm beach from memphis.
The car was originally blue,
and had been repainted once five years ago to red. The car is all
original less paint and engine. The 350 was replaced with a YC 455.
The 455 had been built 2 weeks before I picked the car up, but a year
later after disappointing times at the strip I came to find the the
first guy didn't build the engine correctly. The pistons were too tight
in the bores, and it finally just died on me. Now the engine is back
about $2600 later a 468 is installed, 6H heads, mild cam, and forged
pistons. After wrecking it going around a corner I replaced both rear
axles with new Moser ones, and both rear wheels with new pontiac II's
15X8.
I love this car, it puts all my friends ricers to shame with
just the sound. I'm only 17 and I plan to get this running good before
I get too old...lol.
The future holds a POSI and 3.73's, a new carb
still undecided, 3" exhaust, and drag radials. Heads?
