At the heart of this stunning example is a fresh Ford 460ci Big Block V8. Equipped with Ford Performance Super Cobra Jet Alloy Heads, this powerplant is designed for easy performance on pump fuel while being a turn key street car.
Sitting atop the alloy Tunnel Ram setup are twin Holley 750 carburetors with MSD Ignition providing reliable & strong spark.

Backing up the strong V8 is a strengthened Ford C6 automatic transmission, purpose-built for heavy-duty performance. A 3200-stall converter provides the correct launch, while an external alloy trans cooler maintains optimal operating temperatures.
Putting power to the road is a high quality Driveline Industries polished Extreme 9″ Alloy differential carrier, featuring a 3.9 ratio LSD center with strengthened axles, ensuring this Customline can handle anything thrown its way.
Stopping power is upgraded, with to its four-wheel disc brake setup utilizing components from the Australian Ford X Series catalogue together with a Wilwood master cylinder.
All suspension items and bushings were completely renewed throughout during its full restoration, allowing this classic more modern handling characteristics without compromising its vintage appeal.
The aggressive stance is further enhanced by a staggered set of Billet Industries wheels—20 inches at the rear and 18 inches up front—wrapped in low-profile tires. The combination not only looks stunning but also ensures maximum stability at higher speeds.
A build of this caliber deserves nothing less than a high-end show-quality finish, and this Customline delivers. Every inch of the body, floor pans, chassis, and suspension components has been treated to a flawless paint job, ensuring that the car stands out whether on the road or at a show.
Inside, the Full Leather interior is top level, including all leather headlining and door cards.
