UPDATE

This car is in the final stages of having a new tweaked 428 CJ engine installed. It will be approximately 450+ HP. Has Edelbroch aluminum heads and intake. Runs stock exhaust manifolds and a newly rebuilt C6 Transmission through a 3.50 positraction rear end. We hope to have this car back on the road before Labor Day.

As of this date we are not focusing on the interior or exterior at all. Both are in acceptable but not show worthy condition. We want to take it out and play with it some and then will begin the aesthetic improvements over the winter.

The picture to the left was taken over a year ago when we first dropped if off the trailer in our storage building. We will feature many more photos over the upcoming months.

The engine is in and it has been on its first test drive, now its time to fix some of the oooopps factors.

As we progress with the shake down we will be adding photos. It has a wild cam and you will love the sound. This cat has a mean purrrrrrr. To hear what it sounds like click on the audio below.

On Labor Day weekend the car went to its first cruise since getting the new motor. It has been sitting for years. Here are a couple of new updated photos.
