A throwback to old school muscle cars that makes some noise and has trouble holding traction in the lower gears. Not a perfect showcar, obviously, but runs and drives well. Between the car, the machine work, and all the upgrades, I spent $20k (in 2017 dollars) getting to this point. Has been a lot of fun, but recent life changes force sale. Please email me (454GrandPrix at gmail) with questions or for additional information/photos. $16,000.
