This car was built in Pigeon Forge in 2000 by "Desoto Dave" a well known local guy.
The front suspension was swapped out with a Mustang II rack and pinion with disc brakes, this is a common upgrade to older street rods. The motor was a 350 Chevy mated to a Turbo 350 and a Chrysler Dana differential air conditioning was also added. The front brakes are Disc and Drum on the rear.The steering column is from a Monte Carlo as are the Bucket seats. The complete interior was done in a tweed including the door panels. The Radio leaves a little to be desired.
I bought the car with 28,000 miles and shortly after developed a leak in the # 5 cylinder.I replaced the intake gaskets and still had the leak and still had the same issue.
I then ordered a GM Factory crate motor 350 cu in.I had the starter and alternator rebuilt at local shop. I ordered a new intake manifold water pump and pully, Delco AC fuel pump, coolant hoses, fan belts, MSD ignition, valve covers and Misc. trim parts.The Turbo 350 Trans was swapped out for a Rebuilt 700R4 4-speed automatic. The drive shaft was modified to fit and the u joints changed. A Cruise control was added to ease Highway driving.The Tires and Shocks were replaced at 30000 miles .
There are about 7000 miles on the upgrades to the car its been to Alabama on two separate trips and several trips into Michigan and around Ohio. This has been a trouble free car since the work was done.
