Good morning to you all the auction ends in four hours just a recap on this vehicle. This vehicle was purchased as a triple red example the builder had all of the work unprofessionally change the paint to this brilliant metallic silver. The top went to black canvas. Interior was kept red with the carpet being the only piece that has been replaced Dakota digital dash upgrade 5.3 L LS motor back by a 4L 60 E transmission disc brake upgrade brand new wheels, and tires. Vehicle is great driver quality lots of money spent on this billed. Original builder purchased the car for $30,000 and put over $40,000 into building. The car vehicle only has 1000 miles on it since build don’t miss this opportunity to own a great convertible.

@jcargile – Is that fuel injection or blower? IS 5.3 the original 326? ...

Naturally aspirated 5.3 L no blower, supercharger or turbo. The motor has an upgraded cam, not too sure on the horsepower output as I’ve never had the vehicle. Dyno tested
