Its a 78 and pretty much getting all re-done, GM performance 425hp 383 stroker, TCI TH350, 9" ford rear with 3:50 gears, all tubular arms front and rear, agr steering, 11" disc brakes all around. Body work is done already with an SS ground effects kit and new interior. Now that the cobra is done (not that it will ever be done !!) I can get to work on this.
