I can't say enough good things about this car! It's one of the best we have with outstanding fit finishes and function inside, outside, top to bottom! Found on an Indian reservation in Montana, it was then removed from the frame, stripped to a bare shell and put on a rotisserie. Restored as a tribute to the ultra rare factory built lightweight race cars. It even features fiberglass panels and a correct 427 dual quad just like the original. Restoration photos and documentation is included.

EXTERIOR: The body was stripped to a bare shell and put on a rotisserie. Every panel was sandblasted and restored. It was primed and blocked 3 times, painted completely inside and out then color sanded and polished. The roof is tastefully painted to match the interior. The finish is like glass. It features high quality R-Code lightweight fiberglass hood, fenders, trunk lid that fit precisely. It also has lightweight bumpers. All off the trim was restored and the weatherstrips were replaced. The windshield and door windows were replaced. New old school Torque Thrust wheels were installed when the car was restored.

INTERIOR: It was completely gutted inside and lined with Dynomat sound deadener. The seats were recushioned and upholstered in genuine leather using the original style pattern. New carpet and matching mats were installed on the floor, seatbelts were added in front. The interior bright trim was restored. New wiring and dash pad.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This completely rebuilt, blueprinted and balanced 427 FE motor was Dyno tested at 427 hp and 461 lbs of torque! Built by Survival Motorsports, FE motor experts and the Dyno sheet is included. It has a factory steel crank, Comp cam, correct c3ae-j heads, factory dual quad aluminum intake, proper bj-bk 600 cfm Holley carbs and even reproduction spark plug wires. It is upgraded with Flame Thrower ignition system and stainless headers. It's looking good too with chrome valve covers and aluminum oval air cleaner, both proudly displaying the 427 cross flags. The entire engine bay is restored. The components were all new or replaced. It has an upgraded aluminum radiator, correct expansion tank and hoses. Upgraded power brake system with dual reservoir master cylinder. It even has the washer fluid bag hooked up to the squirters, the dust flaps over the suspension and new wiring. All of the components have fresh finishes, and the metal surfaces are painted slick!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's finished as nice as the rest of the car! Under the lid, jamb and inside are painted slick. Under the insulated mat in Dynomat sound deadener. The side liner panels were replaced. It has a jack assembly in a custom made leather bag that matches the interior. It even has a new 5th matching Torque Thrust wheel for a spare!

UNDERSIDE: Completely new and rebuilt suspension and steering components with Eaton rear springs. The frame and chassis components were sandblasted and powder coated. Upgraded with disc brakes at all four wheels, e-brake cables were replaced. Brake and fuel lines were replaced. The fuel tank was replaced too. Nicely installed dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and factory style resonators with turn down tips hidden from view. Looking up at the motor it is spotless, it has a high torque starter. The T10 4-speed was rebuilt with NOS gears, NOS Hurst shifter, new tail shaft, and has a Lakewood bell housing. The rebuilt driveshaft leads back to a Currie 9 inch ordered with extra H.D. housing/axle package, 31 spline, True Trac posi and 3.25 gears. The floors were sandblasted on a rotisserie and painted beautifully in a glossy burgundy. It looks virtually new under this car!

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

This is truly one of our best restored cars! The fit, finishes and function are very impressive. What a great value, a professional shop would easily charge double what we are asking! A real R-code lightweight would cost double if you could find one! Someone will be very, very happy get this very dialed in, show quality car with some real muscle!
