Details

This is a 138 VIN-code, real-deal car. It's powered by a 396/375hp motor mated to a 4-speed Muncie manual transmission. This car has undergone a complete body-on restoration. The front clip was removed down to the bare frame, stripped and painted. All front components, including A-arm and coil springs, were powder-coated black. All suspension and steering components were replaced with polygraphite units. Front disc brakes were added to include SS brake lines from master cylinder to flex hoses. And a heavy-duty 1-1/8' sway bar was added to beef up the handling. The engine has been completely rebuilt: all ARP fasteners, bored .30 over, hypereutectic pistons, chrome moly rings, comp cams nitrided with hydraulic lifters, roller rockers, aluminum intake manifold, stainless-steel water fittings, brass freeze plugs and stainless oil galley plugs. The crank is turned 10/10 and the heads were reworked to include stainless valves and hardened exhaust seats. The compression is a drivable 9.5:1 and it has a new big-block 4-core radiator. All engine accessories are new, including a 120-amp alternator, aluminum water pump, March pulley system, stainless overflow tank and ceramic-coated headers. The clutch pressure plate, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing and U-joints are all new as well. From front to back, all the wiring harnesses are new, including the dash and engine harnesses. The all-new interior includes carpet, seat skins, headliner, dash bezels, mirror bracket and mirror, door handles, window cranks and armrests. The fuel tank was replaced with a stainless-steel unit to better handle ethanol fuel. The original Muncie shifter is included with the car. Everything works as it should and the car is an absolute joy to drive.
