There’s a dropped I-beam axle up front with power disc brakes and a Vega steering box, the X-member was removed and the center of the frame was reinforced, and a 9-inch Ford rear end hangs on leaf springs. A C4 3-speed automatic transmission is unobtrusive on the road and with 3.25 gears out back, it’s a comfortable highway cruiser at 70 MPH with the A/C blasting. There’s also a mellow-sounding dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers and chrome tips that look great peeking out from under the rear valence. It tracks straight, rides reasonably well for a hot rod, and just works like a car should work, no excuses needed.
