Im in St. Louis.

I was a parts car of my uncles that he gave to me on my 16th bday. Originally Tripoli Turquoise Metallic. It came to me with a 400 stroker with a cracked block . It was a 4 year frame on resto me an my dad did.



Currently is has a stock 350 crate motor, quadra jet EB carb and performer intake. 2.5 inch flowmasters. Power goes through a rebuilt 700R4 and a (sadly) single wheel rear end with 373 gears.

It was also a vinyl top, we removed it to make sure there was not rust, and being such a PITA, we opted to keep it off, Im glad we did.

Paint is PPG Omaha Orange (3 coats) with one light coat of gold pearl and a ton of coats of clear. Color/Wet sanded the whole thing.

Wheels are ZQ8 wheels optioned from the Chevy S10 in the early 2000's. The hub opening was around a quarter inch small so we made a 5 hole bracket and took a hole saw and some lubricant and machined them out ourselves.

About 4 years ago I had a lady stop short on my and i rear ended her. Had to replace the front bumper, grill, nose, and repaint the hood. It was also a good excuse to upgrade to disk brakes

Oh yeah, and my wife loves the car about as much as she loves me
