Shorty Headman headers empty into 2-1/2" aluminized dual exhaust with H-pipe crossover and twin Flowmaster mufflers. The SS-striped Hardwood fiberglass hood keeps the engine from getting sunburned. Tranny is a TH700R4 with lots of beefy parts. plenty strong to handle the approx 600 horses and BBC torque. Rear axle is 3. 55:1 12-bolt. Eaton posi with Tom's axles and an aluminum girdle. Coupled with the 2500 rpm stall w/lockup converter. she can boil the tires with ease. yet cruises down the highway at an easy 2300 RPM at 65 MPH.

Car has won numerous trophies at area car shows. including 2nd place in her class at GM Carlisle in 2009. Has also appeared in Chevy High Performance magazine in 2010. So what's not to love about this car?Half a dozen paint defects. the previous owner tagged his workbench with the left front headlight bezel. the heat and AC removed by previous owner. there's a dent in one of the exhaust pipes. Radiator has a minor leak where the upper hose connects. Neutral start switch not hooked up. You sharp eyed A-body folks out there will notice the car sports a Chevelle front bumper. I have a rechromed El Camino bumper if you want it. This is not a 1000 point show car. But it is a car that shows well and that you can have a lot of fun with. Car is being advertised locally (Rhode Island) so seller reserves the right to end auction early.
