VIN: 136808K102377 Mileage: 7100 showing

With the original 327 cubic inch V8 stroked to 383 cubic inches, and the 700-R4 transmission was upgraded to a stronger 200-R4 automatic transmission with overdrive in 2016. An engine rebuild in 2006 included aluminum heads, Edelbrock Air Gap Intake, and Edelbrock AVS 800cfm carburetor to produce 400 horsepower. A 12 bolt Torsen posi-traction rearend with 3:73 gears was added. A+A Engine Dynamics in New Jersey performed the engine rebuild and install. Exhaust Headers, Flowmaster exhaust, as well as an MSD Ignition system and wiring from Painless Wiring were added. An Edlebrock four link rear end system is in place with air adjustable shocks. This truck has an aggressive tone and is very fast. It retains disc brakes in the front and drums in the rear.

Originally Tuxedo Black, with a repaint that shows well, and the interior in black also. In 2009, the truck received a minor refresh to include installation of a Vintage air conditioning system, Grant three-spoke 14" steering wheel, new door panels were installed, as well as voltage, water temperature and oil pressure gauges. The original 120 mph speedometer and the tachometer inset of the warning lights and fuel gauge were retained. It appears that some of the interior pieces are original, and some restorations has been performed to headliner and such. The original bench seat was replaced with six-way power drivers seat with manual passenger seat and a console added. The 15" Chevrolet Rallye Style 55 wheels with BFGoodrich Radials in 235/60 and 255/60 give the truck an aggressive stance. The installation of the A/C system with an original 4 lever control required the removal of the radio in the factory location, and a blank panel was added. The door rubbers and window seals, and windshield have been replaced at some point. Chevrolet factory service manual for Caprice, Impala, Monte Carlo, and El Camino and Chiltons manual present.
