With all the updates, she drives like a new car, with lots of torque from the 331 Hemi. I have a lot of receipts on all the modern upgrades.
It would cost $100,000 to replicate this one.
In Silicon Valley everyone has a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus or Tesla, I wanted my daily driver to stand out. Since she is my daily driver she has all the modern comforts and is easy to drive.
Rear fenders have had the fender seam welded closed to smooth her out. Ghost flames really pop in direct sun light but are still classy.
In fact, she won Class Act at Good Guys last year.
Priced to sell, I'm reducing my stable of cars and downsizing.
No trades and seller is responsible for transportation.
Here's a few of the upgrades she's gone through, you'll notice all quality name brand components have been used.
