The springs are standard Hotchkis #1901F -- which are the ones they call "small block" springs. I have a set of rear Hotchkis waiting to be put on because I want a little more of a G-machine stance now. I'm also putting on rear discs. I’ve got all polygraphite bushings, KYB shocks, WS6 front sway bar and a 7/8” rear bar. With a quick ratio steering box and the bigger tires it handles and rides really well.
In the early 1980’s this car was a custom show car -- lots of red velour and gold trim. I was told it was in a BFGoodrich calendar sometime between ’82 and ’84 (would love a copy if anyone were to have it). It’s hard to see the color in photos but still has the over 20 year old paint of candy apple red over firemist gold and yellow pearl. My engine compartment, trunk, and interior are back to being mostly stock now.
