I came across this car a few years ago. It was an unfinished project. The previous owner commissioned a restoration shop in the Netherlands to do a nut and bolt rebuild on his 1987 110 V8. They started very thorough and took everything apart. Media blasted the frame and bulkhead and started painting many body panels. High quality work but somewhere the owner run out of money or patience or both, anyway the project stopped and that is when I bought it.

I had a specialist in the Netherlands finish the bodywork, gave him new Puma doors to install, and dropped in a tired V8 just to import it. Wasn't sure what engine I was going to do, back then.,

After driving and having a few LS swapped cars, I thought that was the best option. Ordered a brand new LS3 Corvette engine mated to six-speed auto transmission and had a local specialist install this with a brand new radiator, adoptor, new transfer case, new center console, new dashboard, and so on.

Finished it with a brand new Puma interior, new carpet, new headliner, new LED lights, new wheels, new tires, new brakes and much more.
