Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
The car was custom built in Southern California by Gene Berg. Then it was put in storage for 25 years. Sold after that and took to Seattle. I found the car on line bought it unseen I flew out to make sure that it was loaded on the transporter truck. Flew back to Atlanta the car arrived 10 days later. Drove it for 3 mounts and decided to due a full frame off custom restoration. Mad improvements to bring the car's look from the 70's and bring it up to date.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
Heavily modified port and polished, running a Gene Berg 1700cc Dual 44 carburetors, custom oil cooling system and Comp-u-Fire d.i.s. Bumped the HP from 35 to 135 HP
Suspension Modifications:
2.5" drop spindles, 2" narrowed fully adjustable front beam allowing a 6" drop. Up graded to four wheel disc brakes. Front and rear sway bars, and poly urethane bushings.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Up graded to 16x7" Porsche wheels.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Going with the factor look. Custom A/C, Power Windows. Custom colors inside laying down two layers of sound barrier. Exterior is Custom Blue and Grey with Assie Flash Trim, all new stainless steel and polished aluminum trim HID Headlight, Led running lights, Led conversion for all the rest of the lighting system.
Future Modifications:
Install power door lock and a gas gauge they never came with one. Don't like having to check level with the fuel Stick.
