Owner's Comments

I bought the car in 1989 in the condition shown. The 389 and slim jim are gone. Going in its place is a 428 XF code from a 69 Grand Prix with the following mods: forged pistons, roller rockers, balanced, polished and shotpeened crank and rods, fully studded, factory long branch 3 in exhaust, factory cast iron intake that has stainless hi temp paint, stock 750 quadrajet that is correct for the XF. Trans is a turbo 400. Many thanks to Rick Gonser for his advice in putting this combo where the 389/slim jim once resided. The front end was completely rebuilt by me, including bushings, springs, tie rods, ball joints, etc. I've picked up lots of parts over the years including a set of poverty caps with clips, fan shroud, tach and vacuum gauge, s-d hood scoop (2). Also have a dealers manual and an illustrated parts manual.
