  When this wild 1982 C10 went through a frame off restoration It was fully customized. Those touches include a powder coated frame, a tubbed bed with a wood floor and chrome hold down strips. At the rear a ZR-1 Corvette style rear roll pan was fabbed. Then the C10 was covered in Omaha Orange by PPG. The interior features a factory bench seat covered in grey factory fabric but it was upgraded with the Silverado option ,with pull straps, map pockets & chrome trim.     The factory dash bezel’s were fitted with Auto Meter Ultra-Lite gauges, And for control a Grant leather-wrapped steering wheel.   For the main attraction, we have a 502 big block with a polished 8-71 Weiand blower sitting on top of an intercooler.Boost is limited to 10 psi for the street but when it was dyno tested,it made 850 HP at 6,600 RPM with 794 lb.-ft at 4,300 RPM.

        This Sea-frost Green 1968 Camaro was ordered as a true Super Sport with a big block 396, then it was sent to Bill Thomas of Bill Thomas Race Cars in Anaheim, CA. There Mr.Thomas worked his magic on the 396.                   This car also has the Rally Sport hidden headlight package along with front spoiler, and the bolt on fiberglass Stinger Hood.     It features the Matching Numbers 396 block which is a rarity for a Bill Thomas car, because most of his builds had the 427 transplant. However, the original owner wanted to stay with the 396 and Mr.Thomas transformed Chevrolet's 396 into a sleeper big block that could terrorize any 427 on the street in 1968.   The 396 is set up with an Offenhauser Intake manifold with dual Carter AFB Carbs. A Comp Cams solid-lifter camshaft with the original Bill Thomas spec’s was installed during the rebuild .  The engine is mated to a column shifted Turbo 400 Transmission that feeds a heavy-duty 12 Bolt posi-traction rear end with
