Well I didn't get a chance to look at it up close, but from what I could see of the car it appeared stock on the outside, except the wheels, tires, and hood. It would have made one hell of a sleeper.

there was a 10 sec. firebird 350 in hot rod recently, even more remarkable is that it was on the origional block, rods, pistons, crank etc, with 60 000 miles, 500 passes, and it's never had a freshen or rebuild!

I just watched the video (my friend taped it running). It had nitrous which purged out the nostrils of the ram air II hood, and it sounded like it had forced induction of some kind.
