67 GTO convertible
It has been nearly a 2 1/2 year project that started out by just upgrading wheels and brakes that turned into a full resto. As many of you can relate to.
Typical Ebay story that I have read about now I got the chance to live it....
The car started as a decent GTO clone but then I started getting the signs. So I took her to Frank at Prodigy and we put a plan together. A new frame and undercoating the body, smoothing the firewall and installing all the Speed Tech goodies came second after fitting the car with BOZE wheels (18 and 19's) and a Wilwood setup with a Hydratech sytem.
I then took the car to Robby at Corvette Masters in Orlando for the motor and tranny install. I swapped the 400 for a 455 and installed a 200R tranny good for 700hp. The drive shaft is aluminum bolting to a 3.73 gear. We are going to dyno in the next couple weeks. My estimates are 525 HP 550TQ. This thing is a blast to drive. I will post the details later.
