So much more-
It is not a textbook build but it works. Not too much low end to break parts or blow the tires off builds progressively as speed/Rpms do. Slighly peaky and fun
91 oct with 33-34 deg 35-6 with some good stuff gets even funner.

put hardened parts forks pads upgraded synchros etc in it
Fresh. CF DF clutch F body hydraulics 3" Torino shaft w/spicers. Ripper shifter (hurst is better). Works well

With a 7 or 8" wheel up front the car handles extremely well, no clunks bumps etc. Front runners....yeah you feel more.
Interior
All new "Green Glass" that came in AC cars like this one did.
Repop SS gauges (have orig)changed backlighting to aqua/blue tach is temp (simply unplugs no cutting needed) along with temp under dash just to see how accurate in dash gauges are (good)Many boxes of good stuff inc new emblems if thats your thing
AC panel in nice shape in box. All new wiring/fuse box bumper to bumper. AC and heat gone put pull vents in case really not needed.
Every bezel switch etc is new like everything else.
Tach is temp, simply unplugs under dash. cant see it when yourright foot is heavy anyway
All hardware upgraded list goes on and on
Way way too much to list. Complete but still a blank canvas to put your stamp on it
Best sounds on the planet here! Take it out for that Sunday morning cruise, track it does it all pretty well. Never runs warm starts every time. youre not buying a problem guaranteed.
