This is a factory 318 car. Options on Ed's car from the factory include: Radial Tire/Roadability Package, Power disc brakes, Remote mirror, A/C, 3 spd. wipers, Floor pan boom damper and an inside hood release.

From Ed:
I found this car sitting in an outside storage yard in Colorado with 1980 registration along with mice, rats and a family of rabbits living on the intake manifold in 2001. The white interior has been completely re-dyed along with new front and rear glass as well as a new dash cover.

The original 318 engine was seized so it was replaced with a 360 block and built up from there as well as an 8 3/4 rear and 727 trans. It has best times of 12.90's so it's no slouch. Right now I'm cleaning it up and prepping it up for the show scenes, hopefully the Nationals this summer.

The main reason I put all this time and effort into this particular car is that I had bought one out of the showroom in '75 and sold it 2 years later because I didn't think it would pull my new boat, so I traded it in for an International Scout.
