The build took place in the 1990s and involved the installation of a 5. 7-liter LS1 V8 along with a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission. Additional componentry included a Ford 9â?³ rear end, a Traction-Lok differential, Fatman Fabrications rack-and-pinion steering, Wilwood front and Ford rear disc brakes, US Mags 17â?³ wheels, Vintage Air climate control, Chevrolet Suburban black leather seats, a Budnik steering wheel, an AutoMeter tachometer, and a Pioneer CD receiver. Exterior features include a chrome bumper/grille assembly with bullet-style guards as well as waterfall hood moldings, headlight eyebrows, tripod halogen headlights, an LED hood ornament and taillights, dual mirrors, side spears, tinted windows, and center-exit dual exhaust outlets with downturned tips. US Mags 17â?³ chrome alloy wheels were mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires in 2023. Suspension consists of front tubular control arms, front and rear sway bars, and rear leaf springs; Bilstein shocks were fitted at all four corners in 2023. Steering is provided by a power-assisted rack-and-pinion from Fatman Fabrications, and braking is handled by power-assisted Wilwood discs up front with Ford discs out back. The interior features black leather upholstery with embroidered Chief Pontiac logos and color-coordinated trim panels and carpeting. The seats came from a Chevrolet Suburban. Other amenities include a custom overhead console housing map lights and a Pioneer Mixtrax CD receiver as well as a Vintage Air climate-control system with front and rear fans.
