I built my car with a similar idea. I was a fan of the old school pro street cars back in the day. I also like some of today's pro touring cars. I married the two together in my own way.
55 210 Sedan with 565" BBC, twin Precision 76GTS turbos, hidden water to air intercoolers, Holley EFI, 4L80E w/ etrans controls and paddle shift, custom fabb'd 9" 3.50 gear. Car has a/c, p/w etc. Suspension is Qa1 double adjustable coilovers, tubular control arms, 4 wheel discs, 1 1/8 sway bar/anti-roll bar.
Some recent adds since these pics: 390/45/17 M&H drag radials, ceramic coated hot/cold plumbing etc. No dyno numbers yet but, it's fun to drive!
