    the build is awesome and judging by the car there was no expense spared. these cars are beauties and are timeless. this is where it all started. to each their own. this is the internet so everyone will have their own opinion. i love it!

    I love these cars more than I could ever express. My grandpa had one when I was little with a 383 in it, so much fun just to cruise in. I WILL own one one day. Reps to the OP.

    Wow Wilson's intake manifold, Precision turbos, and HKS wastegates? No expense was spared on this one. I even see a cage inside. Heavenly!! One of the best finds yet!!

    I like it, but I'm not a fan of the modern tech engines or the billet wheels. I'd like to see it with a more "period correct" look, like some polished Torque Thrusts or Halibrands, with a W-block 409, Pontiac tri-power, or something besides a SBC or BBC...
