This car was found in a cow field & bought for $60.
Over five years, he restored it from the ground up.


Engine is a 327 - he decided to make a few changes in early 2004.


Added a fuel cell in the trunk & started work on the interior.

New forged crank, manley rods, SRP pistons, edelbrock RPM tunnel ram, Dart II heads (202/64cc),
comp hydraulic cam (292/501), double roller timing chain, steel hoses, MSD ignition, coil & distributor



Took the car down to bare metal & cut hole in (new!) steel hood for tunnel ram.


Primed the car & got it ready for paint.

May 30, 2004 - car was finished...
June 9th - the 327 blew up - block was ruined.
Got a new engine from R. Cannon - 350 (bored 40^) w/ tunnel ram.
