Wow, one of the best cars we have! It's obvious it was meticulously done sparing no expense. The body was off the frame, the suspension and brakes were upgraded, and an overdrive trans was installed to make it an amazing driver. Not to mention these factory colors make it an amazing looker too!
EXTERIOR: Beautiful! It shines like a big piece of jewelry. The body is straight and fits right, the doors shut like new. Repainted its original stunning Barrier Blue color and it is polished .....
like a mirror. They went the extra with the trim: the bumpers, handles, mirrors, emblems and even the vent window frames, and headlight bezels were replaced. The stainless trim was either replaced or polished. All new weatherstrips. New white power top with a restored top frame. Rolling on a set of new 17 inch Torque Thrust wheels and performance tires.
INTERIOR: The factory born white interior not only looks cool but it feels cool in the summer too. They started by putting sound deadener on the floor, then new carpet along with reproduction Pontiac mats. It has a nice original console in between bucket seats which were completely rebuilt and reupholstered. The backseat was also reupholstered. The door panels and armrests were replaced. The dash area is mint with a new dash pad and instrument panel. The original appearing AM/FM actually has modern internals. There's a gauge cluster mounted below the dash. It also has seat belts front and back.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Show quality engine compartment. Every component was rebuilt or replaced. The original 326 was rebuilt and upgraded with an Edelbrock carb with electric choke and an HEI ignition system. The front of the motor has billet brackets and pulleys with a serpentine belt, the alternator and power steering are polished. It has power brakes with an upgraded dual reservoir master cylinder. It's very proper: the squirters are hooked up, wires are run neatly, the battery is secured. It's also painted slick as can be, under the hood has a black filler panel for a clean look.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid has been polished as glossy as the top! Inside is rock solid and has sound deadener and a carpet floor mat. It also has a new 5th matching wheel and tire for a spare. The original jack is restored.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and the frame was prepped and painted a smooth satin black. The floors are solid metal given a neatly applied undercoat. Upgraded with a complete Detroit Speed suspension. Upfront it has tubular control arms, coilover adjustable gas shocks and a fatter swaybar. In back it has new springs, bushings, double adjustable gas shocks and a swaybar. The steering was all replaced. Completely upgraded Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels and a custom e-brake. It has a new fuel system and the tank is polished like chrome. New dual exhaust with cross over pipe and stainless mufflers.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and fixed an exhaust leak.
