This gorgeous show winner belongs to Ray Richardson here in Sonoma. Yes, this is the same car that is further down in this gallery, except it got a total face lift. The old 450HP 350 of ours he had in it still ran great, but got yanked-out and was sold to another guy with an early Z/28 which now tears-up the streets in Petaluma, Ca. Once Ray's old engine came out, in went one of our supercharged 355 engines that is as much "go" as it is show. It has a forged steel crank, forged steel rods and forged pistons, Victir Jr heads and a roller valve train among many other things. It is very capable of pumping out over 750HP on any given day without a hick-up.

The car itself got fitted with a 4 link rear suspension with coil overs and a 9" Ford with mini tubs and custom American's. The transmission is a custom TKO 5 speed. The body was completely gone through and painted this wicked dark green, and if you look close, you can see the gold ghost flames. The entire interior was replaced with a beautiful grey tweed. The car was good enough to take 1st place at the Good Guy's Nationals the first time it was out.
