The car had a 350 in it, but was a factory 396 car. I had a spare 396 in my ‘68 El Camino so I swapped it over. I rebuilt the M21 4 speed. Other than that, the car was a bit of a time capsule, so I’ve left it in tact as much as possible.

Build story

The last owner had it since about 1991. He parked it on stands in 1992 to fix a leaking transmission and it never moved again until I bought it in 2018. It took me until Christmas of 2019 to find enough parts to get it running and driving. I built the engine as my high school senior project back in 2001 and it’s still going strong. I’ve date coded almost every part on the car and so far the engine, transmission, wheels, front valance panel and rear spoiler were the only things not original to the car. So far, the most difficult part has been hood clearance as I haven’t found an original Winters manifold yet.
