I purchased the car nearly 10 years ago for $1500.00 and drove the car for 2 weeks. It had a burned valve in the original 400 engine. It sat for years until I decided to restore it like I would have when I was in High School and had some money. Since it had virtually no rust, it was a body-on resto. I had a 455 built with 9-1 TRW forged pistons, forged rods, Crane cam and head work on a pair of 4X 400 heads. A Performer intake topped with a Braswell 1000 CFM Holley (Nascar style) carb together with an HEI ignition handles the combustion. I rebuilt the T 400 and decided to keep the 2.92 rear as I wanted to drive the car on long trips and eventually run the Pony Express 100 in the 140mph class. The car will go 150+ and I have driven it several times that fast. It turned a 14 flat 106mph in the quarter mile shifting into drive through the lights! (Not enough tire for a drag launch). I was able to purchase one of the last suspension kits from HO Performance just before they closed the doors several years ago. Believe me, with the F-body spindles, 1-1/8" sway bars - front and rear, disc brakes in the front, Monte Carlo Steering box and ZR rated 255/50 ZR16 Comp. TAs this car handles like a Corvette. In fact, I call it "my family man's Corvette". It is painted the original Code White for 1977, with a red Re-pop interior. Centerline Drag Stars specially made with the suggested offset from HO finishes off the stance. I have driven the car literally all over the State of Arizona, racking up nearly 10,000 miles in the process. Highway gears make the gas mileage a little more reasonable, 8 - 10 MPG is average if I keep my foot out of it. Last year I entered it in a local SCCA cone race and much to the surprise of the local members, beat several sports cars including 2 Boxters. The Porsche owners left immediately afterward. CLICK->
