First acquired by TV personality and former host of the hit show "Overhaulin'," Chris Jacobs, in the early 2000s
Freshened up in 2005 by legendary customizer and Jacobs' "Overhaulin'" colleague Chip Foose, a process which included a Foose-designed paint scheme, Foose wheels and Baer brakes
The body was stripped and media-blasted before being finished in PPG Silver and Black with Orange accents
The paint was personally applied by Chip Foose
Previously equipped with a 440 CI V-8 engine and Six Pack setup when the refresh was completed
In 2016, a small fire damaged the engine compartment during a photo shoot but left the paint and appearance of the Chip Foose-built vehicle otherwise unharmed
A 392 CI Mopar crate V-8 engine was subsequently installed by Mopar restoration expert Mark Worman of "Graveyard Carz" fame
Rated at 485 HP and 472 lb-ft of torque
The engine bay was repainted by "Graveyard Carz" painter Will Scott using PPG single-stage Deltron, with the late great Mike La Valle airbrushing a custom Phoenix and flames under the hood
The engine conversion was featured in "Graveyard Carz", season 8, episodes 10 and 12
Displayed at the 2017 SEMA show following the engine conversion
The custom interior was completed by Mopars5150 in 2025
