I got that one in the early 1990's. I had a '70 Coupe with a CRR 454 (LS6) that was loaded. Didn't like it. I wanted a roadster with minimal options like roll up windows, no AC, etc.
It needed everything. I have big bucks into that car, far more than it is worth.
427/390 L36, wide ratio Muncie, 3:36 Posi with Auborn guts because I blew the stock diff.
My BIL has it now and continues to restore the interior. I had most of the parts, but was beat up with all the work. These cars are a labor of love.
After Lars Grimsrud built me a Q-Jet for the engine, 2nd gear would get the Comp TA's sideways. A 427 with mild cam is a torque MONSTER and a great driver. Power on demand. The Hedman headers and turbos out the back were just right for that combo.
The lower pic has the 15x7 stock Ralley wheels; I like the 16x8 aftermarket chrome Ralleys with 50 series Comp TAs. Sits lower...
FYI painting a Vette like this, with all the 'glas work, would easily be over $20K; maybe $50K.
