“The Six”
Originally a California car, that spent about 10-12 years in Canada in the capable hands of Paul Mansell, no rust, always garaged. Paul did all the hard conversion work and considered it 95% complete when he was forced to sell the car to the likes of me.
Engine is from a 95 Pontiac Firebird, rebuilt with a replacement LONG BLOCK 4 years ago, all new sensors including new fuel injectors and ignition packs.
Custom exhaust system.
Custom dash with all new gauges by Speedhut (includes GPS activated speedo) all new switches, has power and USB jacks. Dash was rebuilt and is covered in a new leather cover.
Interior is clean with leather seats with all new foam, new carpets throughout done in the past 8 years.
Newer soft top, noted one minor hole in one of the side corners.
Hardtop (if not sold separately) plus a homemade Bimini top.
5 speed gearbox had new bearings put in last year.
Windscreen already replaced last year with new rubbers etc. however got a stone chip which was filled so also comes with a new replacement screen in case it goes again.
15 inch alloys with new rubber in 2015.
Heater rebuilt.
Gas struts on hood and trunk for ease of use.
Electrics upgraded with relays for low beam, high beam, fuel pump, horn and spot lights.
Third brake light on trunk flashes when brakes applied, really gets people’s attention behind you.
Has a custom fitted small tow hitch, ideal for a small pup trailer. Includes wiring kit and ball.
