I have a 69 Black on Black leather every factory option car that floMaster used as a pattern car for a new line of stainless exhaust systems that in the words of Ken K****n who has worked there 30 years doing R&D said it is the truest strait no hit C-3 car he has ever seen. Very unmolested professionally body on restored with a 500 cubic inch very factory looking BB and automatic, 3.08 rear end. If you can get past the matching # thing it has about 200 more horse than a original 427, and is a blast to drive (literally)
I would consider selling at the top of your price range if you are interested.

Turn the key and drive it anywhere
Is a black on black leather car from the factory with every factory option and the air conditioning even works." />[i]500" BB makes at least 600 horsepower


I have a few odds and ends left to do yet, but a very solid car that is fun to drive.
