Description
During the custom build beginning in 1988, the steel body was removed from the frame and painted in red. The frame rails are boxed, and equipment includes a chrome rear bumper, a steel grille, a split rear window, a driver’s mirror, and dual exhaust outlets. Paint chips are present on the left rocker panel, below the trunk handle, and in front of the rear fenders.

During the custom build beginning in 1988, the steel body was removed from the frame and painted in red. The frame rails are boxed, and equipment includes a chrome rear bumper, a steel grille, a split rear window, a driver’s mirror, and dual exhaust outlets. Paint chips are present on the left rocker panel, below the trunk handle, and in front of the rear fenders.
Staggered-width polished 15″ Weld Racing wheels are wrapped in Dunlop SP 4N tires up front and Performance Radial G/T and Radial Steel Belted tires out back. The chassis is equipped with front and rear leaf springs, a Ford Mustang steering box, and Borgenson steering U-joints. Braking is handled by Dodge-sourced front discs and rear drums. In November 2022, Classic Performance Restorations of Gilbert, Arizona, replaced the front calipers and performed a brake fluid flush.
The cabin is fitted with Ford Mustang-sourced bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl along with coordinated door panels and replacement black carpeting. Additional equipment includes a four-point roll bar, a B&M ratchet shifter, RJS Racing Equipment harnesses, and a Panasonic head unit with rear-mounted speakers.
A three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a Chevelle-sourced steering column and frames an AutoMeter 120-mph tachometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles. True mileage is unknown.
The trunk is fitted with a Speedmaster aluminum fuel cell with an electric fuel pump along with a battery box and kill switch.
The Chevrolet 355ci V8 was reportedly bored over .030″ with TRW forged pistons and a cast crankshaft for 11:1 compression. Additional equipment includes an Edelbrock Torker intake manifold, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, 461 double-hump cylinder heads, chromoly push rods, solid lifters, and chrome valve covers. A Ron Francis wiring harness is installed along with Mallory ignition components and an aluminum radiator with an electric fan. Work carried out in November 2022 by Classic Performance Restorations consisted of replacing the water pump, coolant reservoir tank, vapor trapper, and radiator cap.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a Dodge Coronet 8.75″ rear differential with a 4.11:1 ratio. A custom exhaust system features fenderwell headers and capped cutoffs. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the image gallery.
