History
I've had my pride and joy since I was 16 years old. Im now 32, and this cars been a big part of my life & we've traveled a lot of roads together. She started off at a dealership as a little V6 when I first laid eyes on her, and over the years it turned into a full V8 355ci Conversion.
It's never easy to put my car in to words, and its inarguably a love/hate car; but I have no question that everyone who sees the car in person, and more importantly, hears the car, falls in love instantly with open cutouts and barking velocity stacks, screaming through cross-streets.
To put it briefly; It's nearly a limousine but has the motor of an angry old race car, and the appearance of an automotive Rottweiler.
