This is a great car. I've been driving it on the road since it has been finished. This is the perfect car for a monsterous power plant such as the new 5.0 fuel injected Coyote motor, 347 strocker, 351w, or even a big block. Matched up to a termac trans and a locking rear end or just leave it the way it is and hit the road! Enjoy weekend cruises, days on the track or as a daily. This car is a blast to drive!
Happy bidding Matt
