I recently put this car together, but found another car I want to start. It has about 30,000 miles on the drivetrain. It has a 5.0, converted to carb. with an Edelbrock 500 c.f.m. 4 bbl., and A.O.D. (automatic overdrive) transmission with a new Lokar kickdown, and a 3.25 rear. It has the serpentine belt, power steering, new battery, aluminum intake, new u-joints, custom shaft, disc brakes with dual reservior master cylinder, wheel vintiques chrome reverse wheels, an ABS dipped gas tank with a lifetime warrantee, cherry bombs, dual exhaust, new custom interior modeled after the Merury Turnpike Cruiser, Rolled and Pleated dash, all ABS plastic panels were used for the upholstery to prevent warpage due to moisture, new window channel in the doors and side sliding windows, new rubber door seals, 1,200 watt stereo system with CD player, new carpet and floor mats, custom tiled rear floor, Reese hitch and wiring, new front lowering springs and shocks, new aluminum radiator and clutch fan, basecoat/clearcoat paint with RothFlake,and much more that I'm sure I forgot to mention. The things that still need addressed: fuel gauge is erratic, wipers are weak, passenger door glass is craked (the drivers is brand new), AM channels are scratchy sometimes(may be the antenna, but it's new), rear bumper has a bend in one end. This car gets great mileage and is VERY dependable! It is not a full show car, just a flashy driver. The floors have been patched, there is some bondo in the car, but it was a Texas car, so the fender eyebrows and tailgate weren't rotted like most 57's around here. I've driven it to shows up to 5 hours away with no issues. Give me a call. Kevin @ 216-409-7079
