Description
Power is provided by a Chevrolet 350ci V8 with tuned-port injection paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and additional equipment includes independent suspension with coilovers, disc brakes, staggered-diameter Boyd Coddington wheels, shaved trim, a dual exhaust system, a custom interior with pewter leather upholstery, a Kenwood stereo, and a backup camera display.
The 350ci V8 features tuned-port fuel injection and chromed accessories, and have been fitted with an aftermarket intake manifold, water pump, alternator, and pulleys.
Servicing since 2012 has included tightening of the valve covers, re-wiring of the Assembly Line Diagnostic Link connector, and replacement of the spark plugs, ignition wires, map sensor, fuel pump, a fuel hose, and a coolant hose.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a Corvette-sourced rear end.
A polished aluminum driveshaft has been installed along with a dual exhaust system with coated pipes.
The fiberglass Wescott body is finished in two-tone Mercedes-Benz Anthracite Gray Metallic and Pearl Black with magenta, purple and silver striping.
Additional features include a chopped windshield, shaved handles, a Dan Fink Metalworks grille shell, front turn signals incorporated into the suspension components, flush tail lights, and a polished central exhaust outlet.
Boyd Coddington New Wave aluminum wheels measure 16×7″ up front and 18×9.5″ out back, and they are wrapped in Dunlop SP Sport tires.
The frame was reportedly sourced from Boyd Coddington along with the independent front and rear coilover suspension, and braking is provided by cross-drilled discs at the front and inboard discs at the rear.
The steering rack was repaired in March 2012.
The cabin is trimmed in pewter leather with matching door panels and carpeting and features polished metal accents on the center stack, side panels, and speaker grilles.
Appointments include a Boyd Coddington steering wheel, a B&M shifter lever, a Kenwood stereo, and an integrated display for a backup camera.
