Love the bubble top. Rare bird, for sure....
That '23 looks like a Monogram model all grown up. Right down to the split wishbones and the dog dish hubcaps....

I believe it's a 6.2 aluminum block LS3 with a zillion $$ of chrome. Not real sure.
A couple of more pictures. BTW I think the bottom side of the bonnet should be white IMO

The interior is really nice, but I didn't get any pics and now the car is gone back to my friends garage so I might not see it again for awhile.
This showed up today:

I don't understand why put an LS3 in and make that cover for it. Looks like it's hiding a blocky truck intake. A lot aftermarket companies make beautiful composite, and aluminum intakes. Looking at the pictures I thought the LS3's came with the L99 water pump on the other side of the pulley, and the fuel inlet is on the drivers side? Looks like truck pulleys, and f body water pump, or possibly an ls1? I have messed around with the truck/ls engines for my 928. A lot of configurations to make it clear. I currently have a spare dressed 5.3l on the engine stand.

You don't want to see this thing. It's a 500$ junkyard 5.3 with a typhoon chinese knock off intake, and special oil pan. lol Very very ugly, especially with a "patina'd" *cough* used high lift cam...
Very dirty... I'm saving it for a a cheap Chinese turbo build/experiment...

I just hate seeing Chevy motors, even newer ones put in old cars. Car looks nice, though! Would love to see a 389 or 421 in that car
