considering my race background, not going to be happy with a daily driver....i love old Nascar race cars and trans am series car.....so this was day one, on stands, removed hood, deck lid, both doors, started gutting interior since we will use almost none of it, I needed a solid nearly rust free car and this is exactly what I found, very simple project, a purpose built trans am look alike from the late 60's early 70's. something we decided to call the Ferrari killer....
simple project, 440cid small block, pushing hps thru a 6 speed Tremec back to a grand national full float rear end, all hung by the latest coil over suspension and 4 link system,rack & pinion steering, 14 point cage, no interior, interior painted to match exterior, aluminum trimmed interior, a pair of late model srt front seats, no respectable trans am car would ever have a back seat, simple aluminum dash, straight out of Nascar, all electronics mounted on transmission hump, and i gave in to the old lady, she demands a kick *** stereo system, therefore it will have a sound system, no air conditioning but will have very basic heat to keep windshield from fogging in fall and winter months, located at the foothills of the Appalachians, we have basically no winters, but lack of heat could make it difficult to see at times.....plus must keep better half somewhat happy....
not sure on color, really thinking Petty blue or plum crazy, however i dont know if plum crazy would look good on this type of vintage car....will have a early 70's style nose chin and a Nascar style rear spoiler, this will be a race car with license plates, since the age of the car, no state inspection is required and thats a good thing, it will have working lights, but no emergency brakes, simple and yet brutal....already have the engine, will have to detune for the street......
