Ultimate Gift for Dad

03-01-2010, 06:12 PM

First, let me say this is not without financial backing from my father, but I have been working to get this car for him forever now, and I hopefully will be loading it on a transport for him next week.

Ever since I was small, my dad wanted to replace his 1970 chevelle that he had as a kid, but he wanted a small upgrade from the 307 car he owned in the form of a 454 SS LS6 car... If all goes well, I will be picking it up tomorrow and storing it for the next week or two before I can send it off to him. He is like a pig in crap right now... Hopefully all goes well...

It is a SS LS6 clone car, done well, very clean, and the perfect driver for him...

307 or Big Block?

It is a 454 solid lifter engine... we will call it ls6++ specs. Should be around 550hp

Hope my kids take care of me like this when they get older. Amazing gift right there.

Was able to finalize the deal tonight and towed it home...It gets to sleep with my toy for a few weeks...

It will be getting dyno tuned, vintage air installed, and general cleaning up done before it goes off to dad.

Dont mind the flash, it makes the paint look bad

Sailchaser · 03-02-2010, 09:07 PM

amazing gesture, your toy in not bad either
