This car is restored closer to stock than pro-touring but has some nice mods. 454 bored 30 over, Edelbrock Air Gap Endurashine Finish, TQ Wheels, Richmond Five Speed, Vintage Air, disc brakes up front and lots of suspension upgrades. He had a SS this exact color when he was a teenager, this was his Fathers Day Present. If I can figure out how I will post the video of us giving him the car sometime it was awesome.

That's a hell of a father's day gift! I bet the look on his face was classic.:attn:

Yeah it was pretty sweet, we had a party for my moms birthday right before fathers day. We blind folded him and drove the car up right in front of him. I revved the 454 a few times then we pulled the blind fold. He stood up and yelled I have been overhauled!!! Except on overhaulin you actually start with a car...

He and his wife are pretty special not only for this car but for the way they care for people in general.
