While nice, it does not show near as well as this car. See link ending in 214705 on Barret Scottsdale Site.
This is a great car to drive and I have put 2,000 miles on the last 3 years.
This car was special ordered with all the above options and NO power steering or brakes for MAX HP. With 28:1 ratio it feels like power steering and the 8 lugs stop you quite well.
This was a nice car prior to restoration in 2007 with all original panels, rust free and as nice underneath as on top. Pre Restoration Mileage of 96,000
Enhancements to original drivetrian as follows:
-Potent Cam Upgrade for approx 340 HP
-Functional GM "Jac Pac" air shock system w dash controller & compressor
-Compound Starter for quick starts & extra Header Clearance
-Dealer Installed 68 Pontiac HO Cast Headers for that crisp sound
-Electronic MSD Ignition System
-Functional Pontiac Tach & Vacuum Gauge (installed per 1961 Dealer Sheets)
-Spare 8 lug rim with wheel adaptor, jack and iron are included
This car was a featured Early Muscle Car at the 2016 Telluride Concours and has won awards for the beautiful interior color scheme.
