The chassis received uprated suspension components and cross-drilled disc brakes at all four corners. A new Chevrolet LS3 376ci V8 with electronic fuel injection and modern ancillaries was installed producing approximately 550bhp, mated to a 4L60 four-speed automatic gearbox. The engine bay was decluttered and fitted with a high-performance exhaust. The interior was retrimmed in custom black leather with a bespoke console, Sport-Comp gauges, and an upgraded audio system.

    RMD Garage is based in Long Beach, California. The build was commissioned by the consignor and is documented in YouTube walkaround videos produced during preparation.

How this record is sourced

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material.
