Flames were all the rage, back in the 70s. Bought that way, and was a pretty cool look, for a while.
Being a car painter, I eventually changed the color to "Indian Fire Red", with a polyurethane material called Sunfire Urethane.
At the same time, I swapped out the 300 HP 327, for a built 350. I started out wanting to duplicate the venerable LT-1, but got a little carried away. Took a low mileage 4 bolt main 350 apart, balanced and blue-printed, with a Hi-Flow 1-H cam, degreed as part of the blueprint, Holley Street Dominator intake manifold, Holley 650 Double pumper, and Hooker Street Competition headers. The icing on the cake was a 100 HP nitrous kit, only to be used in emergencies ; )
This car was wicked-fast, and a lot of fun to drive.
