- I can't tell why some of your ratings aren't higher. Is everybody looking at the same car that I am? This car is in the great tradition of the Shelbys and TransAm cars. Some purists cant handle the mods, but I see nothing here but 100% true American innovation. Great!

Custom Hardtop / Softtop Conversion
408ci Stroker, Megasquirt EFI w/Holley 900cfm Throttle Body Injection, Unisteer Rack & Pinion Steering, Richmond 5 Speed, Mark Williams 35 Spline Rearend
Originally a pale yellow 289ci 225hp automatic coupe.
I cut off the original hardtop and can either bolt it back on, install the custom vinyl top, or have her go topless.
