I'm told I'm the third owner. It was originally a Texas car. The second owner drug it up to Idaho and then let it sit untouched for many years. I brought it down to Utah, got it running and driving, and then began a complete mechanical makeover.

1999 Vortec 454 with Performer RPM Air Gap intake, generic Flowtech style headers, and a ZZ502 cam. Engine is cooled by a Champion 4-core radiator and a junkyard Taurus electric fan. The 4L80E is controlled by a TCI EZ-TCU.

Full set of AutoMeter Sport Comp gauges. Floor shifter from a junkyard FWD Grand Prix. Bucket seats from a late '80s Camaro. Steering wheel from a junkyard Fiero.

Stock, all original sheet metal and (what's left of the) paint.
