Engine & Transmission
Stock 502HO intake manifold, topped by a Holley Terminator EFI system. Billet Specialties was tapped to dress the big block with valve covers and Tru Trac serpentine system. The satin orange paint really looks traditional on this big block, but the level of detail is far beyond how they came from the factory. 550lb/ft never looked this good! A Tremec T56 is stationed behind the rat, because a stir-it-yourself big block is the best kind, especially when it makes all the right sounds. Thanks to the Borla mufflers plumbed into the custom stainless exhaust, this one does just that!
Chassis
Custom-built tubular front control arms and a Detroit Speed Quadralink rear suspension system using JRi coilovers. Wilwood discs with color-matched calipers.
Body Modifications
The Kindig Flat Out rear spoiler adorns the trunklid, paying tribute to the stock “ducktail” spoiler. On the opposite end, a custom front lower valance was hand-formed with the grill opening flanked by round driving lights, possibly inspired by the 5th-gen Camaro. The engine bay was cleaned up with a shaved firewall and swoopy core support cover.
Paint
Porsche Blue Graphite Metallic paint, with a custom hockey stripe with a 21st-century take on the classic “hockey stick” stripe in black and silver by Dave Kindig.
Interior
Seats modified by JS Custom Interiors and a chrome ididit steering column capped by a Billet Specialties wheel. Down below is a trio of billet pedals. What you won’t find, but is indeed present, is a boatload of Dynamat heat and noise insulation and a stealthy Vintage Air system, hidden in plain sight with stock-appearing slider controls. Also flying under the radar is the direct fit HDX instrument system; the black alloy face styling can certainly be overlooked at a glance, but when the key is turned, and the LED backlighting comes on, there’s no mistaking the goods.
Wheels & Tires
Gloss black Forgeline wheels fitted with Toyo Proxes rubber.
