Yep that's a very nice rig.
I saw it in Daytona a few years back at the huge show and
swap meet.
I have the full f-71 package on my rig. With the hollow sway
bars and stuff.
They spent allot of time in playing with that car so you
know the setup is just right. That one was setup nice, but
they lied to me when I ask them what the backspacing on the
back rims was. They said it was 5 1/2" (tt2 11" rim) and I
got a set of tt2's with 5 1/2 offset and they stuck out.
When I saw the car I could tell it was more like 6" because
I got under the car and measured the distance to the leaf
spring it was 1/4" and mine was 1/2. SO I ordered another
set in 11" with a 6" offset and they fit much better.
That kinda sucked... I loved the car though and it was
for sale when I saw it. With the ls1 and 6 speed, it must
handle allot nicer then my big block.
