An exceptionally nice conversion. With the exception of the dual exhaust, I doubt anyone could tell this isn’t stock. A real sleeper.
It would be a great car to drive around.
A great sleeper! Putting modern GM performance V8 powertrains with upgrades in older European cars with otherwise minimal value is a smart move.
