People either love or hate the red interior. There doesn't seem to be an in between. Being old enough to remember when this was a popular combo, I still love it!

Like how many FEET (not inches) are you pulling the front end up on that bad *** launch

It was powered by a naturally aspirated 565 with a TH400 when this was taken.
No IRS, it has a 4-link set up (4:11 gear w/trans brake) car ran a best of 9.24 @ 148 with that combo.

The 565 is now gone and I just finished a 496 pump gas combo for it. I'm sure it will be about a full second slower but, more consistent with better street manors, and much easier on my wallet.

Josh's father did all the work custom shaping/building the flares to be as tight fitting as possible. A copy of them where made and can be bought at Custom Image Corvette.
