Notes:
This car has been painted in a light tan and a dark coral metallic base coat clear coat paint.  There are some dust particles in the clear on the hood.  The paint overall looks great.  The chrome is in nice shape.  The front bumper has been rechromed.  The tailgate and doors work great and shut solid.  Windows go up and down good with new window channel felt and some new weatherstripping.  Driver's door window has a little crack in it at the bottom.  New side glass is tinted.  Windshield is great.  All the lights and signals work great.  Wipers work great.

The interior is done in tan and coral material.  Dash is great with rebuilt speedometer, switches, new "Car Shop" orange-faced gauges in the dash.  New Sony CD player and speakers in the back.  This is a heater delete car ("rare").  There is a newer black rug and headliner with an overhead console, and the lights work on it and it holds your sunglasses or whatever.

The motor is the original 361 V8 that has been all rebuilt with just over 400 miles on it.  The heads were redone and it has a newer Holley dual feed carburetor.  Exhaust manifolds with 2.5 dual glass packs and beautiful "Meg's" chrome exhaust tips ($100 just for those tips).  She sounds awesome!  Previous owner said that the motor is pushing around 340 HP.  Engine compartment is topped off with a Holley air cleaner, Edelbrock chrome valve covers, chrome overflow container, new radiator, electric fuel pump that is painted and detailed up.  Transmission is a T-10 4-speed that has been all rebuilt with a new clutch and pressure plate.  She shifts great.  Rear end has 355 gears, with new brakes.

Brakes are power disk brakes with a 2" drop spindles.  Dual master cylinder with power booster, and new lines and proportioning valve.  She stops on a dime!  This is a very nice update.  Front end is nice and tight.  The underside of the car is solid.  Frame and floors are solid.  Newer American Racing rims, with newer tires on them.

The car runs and drives great!  You can drive this car anywhere.
This car was a Calendar Poster Car in 1997, and comes with a picture of it in that calendar.
