The body was repainted in silver under previous ownership and features a black vinyl roof, outlined black center stripes, a cowl-induction hood, dual mirrors, chrome bumpers, black full-length body-side moldings, and “SS” and “383” badging.
American Racing 17″ Torq Thrust II wheels are polished and fitted with 245/45 Lemans Performance A/S tires showing 2017 date codes. A four-wheel Wilwood power disc brake conversion with drilled and slotted rotors was installed in 2015, and a Hydroboost assist system from Hydratech Braking Systems was added in January 2017. Steering upgrades consist of a quick-ratio power-steering box and a Hotchkis steering kit with inner and outer tie rods, an idler arm, and a pitman arm. A QA1 adjustable coilover conversion kit has been installed up front, Hotchkis lowering leaf springs with QA1 Stocker Star shocks are fitted at the rear, and SpeedTech sway bars were added at both ends.
The interior features Procar by Scat bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl with a matching dash pad, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities that have been added include a Vintage Air climate-control system, an alarm system, power locks, three-point seatbelts, a JVC CD receiver with Bluetooth connectivity, and a pair of 4″ Rockford Fosgate speakers in the dash.
Instrumentation consists of a 110-mph horizontal-sweep speedometer, a fuel gauge, an 8k-rpm AutoMeter tachometer clamped to the steering column, and a pair of auxiliary gauges mounted beneath the dash. The five-digit odometer shows about 300 miles.
The 383ci stroker V8 is a replacement engine that was installed under previous ownership. It is based on a 350ci GM small-block that was bored and honed and built with the following:
Brodix IK 200 aluminum cylinder heads
Eagle Specialty Products cast-steel crankshaft
Eagle Specialty Products I-beam rods and ARP cap screws
King Racing bearings
Speed-Pro flat-top pistons and Hastings moly piston rings
Comp Cams 305 Magnum flat-tappet hydraulic camshaft and lifters
Liberty Performance pushrods
Scorpion Racing Products aluminum rocker arms
Cloyes Gear billet steel double-roller timing chain
March Performance Pulleys serpentine system
Melling M-55 oil pump
A FiTech electronic fuel injection system and a powdercoated 20-gallon fuel tank with an internal pump and sending unit, as well as an MSD distributor with an adjustable rotor, were installed in January 2017. The car’s chassis number indicates that it was originally equipped with a six-cylinder engine.
Gases exit by way of headers flowing into a 2.5″ dual exhaust system equipped with an H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Hurst-shifted Tremec T5 five-speed manual transmission and a rebuilt 10-bolt Positraction rear end with a 3.42:1 final gear ratio.
