GarageScout Take

The steel five-window body gives this street rod a period-correct core around a thoroughly modern custom frame and suspension, while the 454 is managed by Holley Sniper EFI and backed by a Turbo 400.

Strengths

  • Steel-bodied five-window coupe with a custom-frame street rod build.
  • Fuel-injected 454ci V8 paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission.
  • Clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
  • Heidts Mustang II front suspension, power four-wheel disc brakes, and four-link rear suspension with coilovers.

Watch For

  • Fiberglass fenders are fitted to the steel body.
  • The engine runs hot in traffic when outdoor temperatures exceed 90 degrees.
  • The electrical system experiences excessive draw with the air conditioning operating.
  • The car has no windshield wipers, although the wiper motor is retained.
