OK here is the boring car...but the white walls are gone and there are 15x8 wheels sporting full wheecovers with 245-60-15 Yokohomas now....
The paint/chrome and interior other than the headliner are factory original. The 318 engine has been replaced with a very healthy 360 engine custom built for this type of car. It is correct in appearance for a 1979 360-2 barrel engine. The original 2.45:1 8-1/4 rear differential is now a 2.94:1 9-1/4 & the suspension components/tires have been updated with modern technology.

No power windows and locks, but optioned with 318 engine, tilt steering, delay wipers, light package, halogen headlights, fender mounted turn signals, full gauge/led package, cornering lights, dual outside mirrors, cruise control, power 60/40 split cloth bench seat, heavy duty suspension, body side moldings, a/c, tinted glass all, door edge guards, rear window defogger, full size spare, litter container & am/fm stereo. Unlike the other cars we owned back then, this one was rust proofed with Ziebart; which has actually saved it from rapid deterioration, as these cars were never designed to last more than 10 years.
