Mercury Charlie Garage in Austin, TX conducted a significant makeover. The car had original taillights procured and re-installed (previously frenched in), the rear was c-notched, paint stripped, scallops blocked, painted with PPG Hot Rod Black. At that time, a new Chevrolet LS3 (430 HP) and 4L70E Connect and Cruise crate motor and transmission package was procured through Scoggin Dickey Performance Parts Center and transplanted into the car. A Street Rod Engineering front end kit (Mustang II) was installed. The former Airride Technologies Airpod kit was replaced with an updated AirLift Performance 3H air suspension kit with Bluetooth compatibility to smartphone controls and a new rear Eaton TruTrac differential installed. In 2019, a Brian Tooley Racing (BTR) Stage 2 LS3 cam was installed with valve train components, tuned, and chassis dynoed by Hot Rod Barn in Marengo, Iowa, making ~375 HP and 333 ft lbs. of torque at the wheels. In June of 2021, new Wilwood Engineering disc brakes were put on the front, and the drums were removed from the rear and replaced with a Ford 9 disc brake kit that would accommodate the clearances. Additionally, a new stall converter was installed to better accommodate the camshaft upgrade. The car has vintage air conditioning, power windows, power seats, remote and mechanical door/trunk poppers and a thumping stereo system with a 10 subwoofer and Bluetooth-compatible Pioneer deck. The odometer was not reset with the new drivetrain. Also with original 1947 license plates (I have the 49 tags for it as well), and new plug wires and new custom wide white tires. The LS3/4L70E combo is estimated to have less than 11,000 miles on it.
