1 word...GORGEOUS! That is one of my favorite color combos. Had a red and white Matchbox or Hotwheels challenger when I was a kid that was red with white interior and white top. Guess I have a soft spot for that combo. Very nice.

Hey Eddie.  I do like the car and color combo.  Tell the members some of the  interesting inside parts...........
Sure Ting!  The engine was built in 1997 by Matt Hensley SS/AA, and features edelbrock heads, comp cams fast rate of lift hydraulic cam, pro-magnum roller rocker kit, Comp springs  ARP studs, Rollmaster 3 bolt, factory intake with Pro-Max modded SixPack setup. The 18 splined tranny was built by none other than Mr. Herb McCandless! The driveline is the original. The Trak-Pak Dana 60 by Zumbrota bearing and gear with Timken tapered roller bearings and the factory clutch pak re-placed with new discs. I kept and shelved all my original parts. I like to drive fast through the twistys, and roadracing is where  my interest lay. So the suspension has almost everything Dick Ross has in stock! LOL  1.14 T-Bars,, front and rear sway bars,, all black polygraphite bushings and mount, HD strut rods,, Tie rods ectt  Edelbrock IAS shocks, power front discs that fade pretty quick,,lol,,20:1 Fast Ratio steering all in all a fun torquey "Heavy Duty" package that is a blast to drive.  The Shaker,, steering wheel, dash, Pistol grip  are all original and basically 'unrestored' except for the emblems, new paint on the shaker bubble. The dash was only cleaned and the gauges sent off to auto-electric, Quartz conversion,, electronic ignition too. Thanks for the interest

Pro-Max Sixpack,,These arent the original carbs,, they were 'missing in action' when I bought the car on Fri. March 13 1997. I also need to get a set of wires from that guy on moparts.
