I purchased this car in Arizona in 1992 and drove it back to Chicagoland. The smooth contoured lines of this and the Olds with the rear tri-window configuration have always been a favorite. I have been content to keep it in it's original state (aside from having the engine rebuilt) but have been standing on the sidelines long enough. It's time to do a mild custom job. Nice paint, upgraded interior, wheels/tires and, yes, a lower stance should do it. But first I have to get over the sticker shock of purchasing those replacement ball joints.... Cheers, D. Jan Cella

I built this custom 23T with a friend of mine using very unique proven chassy design. The frame is double rail rectangular tube. Front suspension is a 4 bar with adjustable Alden shocks. The rear end utilizes a Curri 9 inch Ford with a posi 456 cog. Wheelbase is 125 inches combined with the low CG gives this machine incredible stability during quick accelerating quarter mile passes. Power comes from 427 open chamber rectangle port 10.5 to 1 Chevy. Sitting on top is a set is an Offy single plane dual quad with 600-cfm vacuum secondary Holly's. The transmission is a turbo 400 with a full manual valve body shifted w a B&M. The torque converter is an A-1 9-inch unit with a 4200 RPM stall. Any questions send to E-mail ajmanoog@aol.com

We have owned the car for about 2 years now, which was a life-long Dream of mine. I will own the car until I am too feeble to drive it, (at which time I will hire someone to drive me around, or have my Honey drive us), or I am not of this Earth anymore.
