Comments:I bought this car because it was supposed to be a 454 powered SS, automatic, in black. It had Chrysler bucket seats, custom center console and rear seat upholstery, horrible paint, and basically a butchered together car. It was supposed to be just a driver, but turned into a year long project to end up where it is today. I just had to put it back to a stock apperaring car, but wanted a driver that could be driven anywhere, stop and handle good, and look mean doing it:devil:. This is where it ended up. It was quite a surprise when I pulled the engine and went to install the parts for a 454, only to figure out it was a 69 427:D, so I wasn't too disappointed there. The engine is currently being upgraded to ported heads with big valves, bigger carb, better cam choice, and slightly lower, pump gas friendly compression.
