History
Restore and modified as a farther/son project in 2010.
We purchased the vehicle as a going road vehicle and decided to rebuild the vehicle when the existing V6 suffered heart attack, we decided to do a heart transplant with a XR8 engine and 3 speed auto (C9).
The project was reasonably fast as it was my sons everyday driver.
