Default New Guy from S.Florida

I have been lurking the forums learning a lot of good information from you folks while searching for my car, and thank you. Now that I have it in the garage I will come out of hiding. Always wanted a 67 big block. Car sat in a collection for a number of years right after a frame off restoration. I wanted a car that looks factory, but with a bit better performance, modern A/C,etc.. Car was originally a L71/435 car, now has a Shafiroff 540/715hp, M-22 (my shop confirmed it) 4:11 gears. Looked at a number of cars and settled on this one. What's cool is shafiroff built/tuned the motor with the factory tri power set up on it. Car has less then 500 miles on the retoraton and motor. Sits a little high in front for me, so have some semi coil overs going on next week.

Jimmy

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm in Boca Raton. I'm torn about putting side pipes on it or leaving the full 3 inch rear exhaust. I know its a personal decision, these cars look great either way.
