About “Lucifer”
I got this car in pieces and I have put it together and made it run. Not a real common car, I have only seen 2 others myself, one of which was in a junk yard. I picked up the car from an 18 year old kid who had driven the car drunk, and ditched it into a pole, the body was really rough and the interior needed a lot of work (it still needs some work but it's better than it was). He had also torn the motor out to try and rebuild it, but he didn't know what he was doing. I tralered the car to my house and started the project of putting it back together and rebuilding the motor the correct way, and replacing parts that needed to be or would need to be soon (Alternator, starter, fuel pump, carb, belts, wiring harness, voltage regulator, rear end, u-joints). It's also been bored to a 480.

The engine has been bored to a 480 and there is also a Carter AFB Carb installed. I have also made a custom wiring harness for this car as I could not find anyone that has one.
