Power is provided by a 454 big-block hooked up to a TH400 three-speed automatic and nine-inch rear.

The chassis has been modified to accept an adjustable air suspension system on all four corners. Braking is provided by power drums. A dual exhaust system exits ahead of the rear wheels.

Lead Writer Diego Rosenberg is a native of Wilmington, Delaware and Princeton, New Jersey, giving him plenty of exposure to the charms of Carlisle and Englishtown. Though his first love is Citroen, he fell for muscle cars after being seduced by 1950s finned flyers—in fact, he’s written two books on American muscle. But please don’t think there is a strong American bias because foreign weirdness is never far from his heart. With a penchant for underground music from the 1960-70s, Diego and his family reside in the Southwest.
