This is one bad looking, tough sounding, pavement pounder. Truly street or strip ready. 650 hp with BFG radials will take you to the outdoor theater or cruise night. Change the blower gear that is included to bring it to,1,000 hp, put the slicks on that are included and it will pull a wheelie at the strip! It has had the same owner for the last 23 years.

Body is in really excellent shape, does not have the usual stress cracks or damage. 25+ year old paint is glossy and polished like a mirror.

Custom driveshaft. Fat 3 inch, very nicely bent exhaust all the way out the back. This car has such a cool factor. It is exciting, isn't that what owning a collector car is all about.
