I have owned 19 F-Bodies over the years, but this SOM WS6 is very special to me. I looked for this car for about 18 months before I found it. Thanks to the previous owner (Candy Hendricks) it was in impeccable condition when I got it, but it has came a long long way since then. I am often asked how much I have in it...and to be honest I dont know. But I built the car with the intention of building the best car I could...so there is nothing but the best on it. I didn't care about having the fastest WS6 around, but rather I wanted to build what was the cleanest and nicest car I could build. That's what I have tried to do...and with the exception of the window tinting no one else has ever turned a wrench on the car except me and I am very proud of that. Here is the run down on the car:

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Yes, my car is the October car of the month on LS1.com.

The color is Sunset Orange Metalic (SOM) and yes it is (was) a factory color in 2001 and 2002. SOM cars are pretty rare compared to some of the other colors though.

More comments are welcome!
