The parking brake mounting position was also re-configured for better fit and performance.Exterior options include LED brake and turn signal lights, clear front turn signal lenses, dual Raydyot side mirrors and 3M paint protection on the nose and spatsWheels are 18” Halibrand style pin drive wheels with Nitto NT01 max performance tires (245 front, 305 rear)The rolling chassis was ordered from Backdraft Racing and the bespoke build was meticulously completed by Millerspeed in Redondo Beach in 2022. The build objective was a classic, traditional-appearing replica with comfort, style and ease of drivability - which is exactly what it delivers. The 427 Windsor engine makes gobs of power, but it is smooth and drivable at lower speeds and in traffic, without surging and bucking, or requiring a lot of slipping the clutch. The twin disc clutch, with the hydraulic master/slave, is smooth and relatively light and the Magnum 6-speed shifts beautifully through the entire RPM range. Large, power-assisted disc brakes provide ample stopping power with little effort and even the steering, although manual, is relatively light thanks to a custom, rollerized strut hat upgrade.For more details on this build and other information, or to schedule a viewing, please call Alistair Miller on (310)408-8798**Payment via wire transfer preferred - not an option listed by eBay so please contact me for wire transfer instructions**Located in Redondo Beach, CA 90278 and can assist with shipping arrangements.
