It is reported that over $65,000 was invested into this car to bring it to this presentation. The project was started with a solid southern car, all the body panels are original, and it was then rotisserie restored. A new balanced and blueprinted 426 Hemi engine was dropped in and the additional expense of a cross ram (period correct) intake manifold was installed. The air cleaner is an original '65 Hemi air cleaner. Behind the Hemi engine is a custom fitted Keisler five-speed manual transmission and a Dana 60 rear end with 4.56:1 gearing. With the overdrive in the transmission, it runs down the highway at 70-mph utilizing only 2500-rpms. Wilwood disc brakes sit at all four corners and a Flowmaster exhaust with a switch under dash activates the electronic side dumps. Another little detail is the use of a hydraulic clutch. In the interior you'll find a correct '65 five-speed console with built in tachometer. Tilt steering was added to the platform and $3,200 was spent on re-chroming and polishing trim components.
