Default Gorgeous bird! and the garage...!

Dang, it looks like your garage is set up cleaner and better lit than some clinics and emergency rooms.

The car is a beast for sure. My Dad almost bought my Mom a '68 Firebird 400 'vert back in about '85 at a Kruse Int'l auction but they picked up a '65 Mustang ragtop instead. I was rather crushed as you might expect. Alls well, they turned it in a few years and made 4k.

I'm in Monticello MN, BTW.

Taking this one anywhere local again soon?

We will be at St. Paul on Friday nights. They have a great car show there every week.

The motor is great with a ton of torque. It's Butler Spec. parts (Carb to pan) that was assembled and dynoed at Wheeler Racing in Blaine, MN.

Nice motor. My plan is to go the Butler Performance route also. Butler is located about 75 miles southwest from me.

How do you like you TKO 600?
