Checking the exhaust valve lash wouldn’t be a fun job.

Looking at pics it appears to have been driven regularly. Amazing ride.

Looks like it was done in the late 70's, what a well preserved car. Originally a 390 , 4 speed too.
I wonder what the price is?

You would never know it had a SOHC 427 under the hood, other than the badge on the trunk. Really nicely done.

Big motors  and convertibles don't mix. They twist up something awful. Been there.

LOL, doesn't have to be a convertible to twist up.  They just twist worse.  All those cars have the torsional strength of a lawn chair.  Nice car though, hell of a squeeze job.

well, the 275/60/15 BFTA's will make sure it never gets a chance to twist... ::) Cripes, my s10 with about 150hp less is pretty useless without the DOT's on it, that's gotta be a LOT worse. Put it in a coupe with a 6 point and some 10.5x28 ET Streets and you'd have something worth playing with, but TA's? REALLY??? Honestly, I kinda fail to see the point, hellova lotta work just for drive-in cred. ::) with those tires on it, some guy with a lightly modded LS Camaro and and some Proxes TQ's is gonna make you look like a fool.
