She has been finished for a few years and never, since day one, has had any issues or needed any additional tweaking. This car was reassembled with a Fanatic's brain and an OCD eye.
This has been my experience; Many Muscle cars that you see on websites are usually just fancy wheels and shiny paint that look good on a computer screen or rolling onto the auction block. Most of those cars need an additional $15,000-30,000 or more just to make them safe to drive. Most of these Muscle cars for sale have more hours in fancy photography work than they actually have in the build of the car. These cars need to be built and dialed in so the cars are enjoyable and safe but most miss the mark. Not this Pontiac~ This one is a Jaw dropper from Head to Toe (or you might say Roof to Tread) and it is GM fuel injected new car reliable. You will not have a Gas smell in your garage from the open air filter carbureted engine. The second you see this car in person you realize there is a big difference from a quick paint job and rebuild to a high end refinished and perfect second to none muscle car build.
I will list many of the parts that have been used in this build. I will explain the reason for many of the parts that I've chosen. I have spent $118,000 dollars in total to build this car correctly, to drive and handle like a corvette but ride and absorb bumps like a cadillac. This was my canvas by using my artistic selection of the perfect parts put into a steal body. The original color of the car was in fact Burgundy with a black interior and a Black top.
BODYLicense plate says it all. DAMSTRA8Meticulous straight flat body panels with every gap perfectly aligned and spaced.Burgundy metallic; Brand Spies Hecker Base and Spies Hecker high solids clearZero orange peel, mirror finish reflection and what seems like machined straight surfaces.I do have 1 Gallon of Spies Hecker base that was mixed at time of paint job that will go to the new owner.
