454 BIG BLOCK, MUNCIE 4 SPEED

Everything you hear and feel reminds that this analog muscle hot rod is visceral to the bone. From the sound of the wheels rolling on the pavement to the concert of the twin exhaust, Nothing today comes close to the enjoyable seat of the pants experience of this classic 60's ride.
