The only mod I would say is an HEI Distributor to replace the points system. Other than that it is all factory.

Build story

My dad bought this car for my mom a couple years ago and she hated it. I fell in love with it and starting working on it. The brakes were really bad so put a dual master cylinder in it and replaced the front factory disc brakes. The 390 was complete and just had to do the usual tune up. I started the project when I was 17. With help from my dad and grandpa we redid most of the wiring and replaced all the vacuum hoses which there were a lot. I was able to put the dash and interior back together during quarantine of 2020. Its a lot of fun to drive. It even has the sequential turn signals in the back. Still need to replace the transmission because a different owner put the wrong one in and is leaking. The paint is still really good and everything is there. It even has factory air conditioning and factory cruise control. I love the deep tone exhaust as well.
