Dual exhaust's with custom, rare Rocket Tips and YES working side pipes (not just for show.)

Engine and tranny done using the Dearborn classic swap kit, which included motor mount pads, and complete transmission mounts and crossbar., oversized radiator with pusher fan installed for when stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, always ran cool at highway speeds, fan was added to extra security in the city.

Fat BFG's tires are couple years old and limited mile, maybe 5-, 000 on orig vintage cragers. All for are 235-60 R15's Tucked in and under nicely, no rubb'in at all. All gauges work as they should, it's missing his sun visors (lost by the guy that did the interior) Back up lights (not on this model) are now extra brake and turn signals for safety. He's runs like a top, stops on a dime, 70 all day lon, even towing my teardrop.Fuel tank is from 1957 Ford Wagon-ranchero, it fits good, but not as original, still holds 18-20 gallons, gauge is off aprox a quarter.
