I usually restore these cars to factory condition (to the letter!) However I longed to do a modified street car like this for sometime now. It's got a few modified items from stock- like the weber carb, electronic ignition, electric cooling fan, electric fuel pump and some other goodies. I also rebuilt the engine with a fast cam and put in flat top pistons with a monza exhaust. The suspension recieved new air shocks, front adjustables, polly bushings and some other tweaks for hard cornering. The body was rot free but I painted it a rich orange, almost bright orange and I added a rollbar, (cause it looked kinda cool). How about those "dealer" added go-faster stripes!! Yeah it's kind of a -love em one minute, hate them the next.

I only modified things like the weber carb, electronic ignition, electric coolong fan, electric fuel pump and some other goodies. I also rebuilt the engine with a fast cam and put in flat top pistons. The body was rot free but I painted it a rich orange, almost burnt orange.
