Nice car. Too bad the 396 is gone. I don't understand why so many people cut the floor like that to install these shifters. I've had a ram rod and 2 super shifters in my Camaro and I didn't cut that long slot for the shift rods. Looks like the 3-4 shift lever is installed upside down on the transmission.

Racing fuel.

Hope the speed parts stay on the car, rather then striping to make the car more original for profit.

I really like that car. Comparing pictures 1 and 2 shows a lot of work went into making it look good while still looking bad.

The car is staying the way it is. Getting cleaned up and some stuff that needs to be fixed or replaced and then driving the wheels off of it!
