I saw one like it in a mag this weekend (maybe Truckin?). It wasn't red though, it was a black 66. It didn't have Lightning seats in it either. It had recovered (in gray and black) Cutlass buckets. It too had a 200 L running gear. The magazine dummies called the transplanted Lightning rear end a 9". Showed me how much they knew (or didn't). The dang engine was detailed with polish and chrome so much, it was almost blinding. It has the lightning bolt on the sides, and the SVT on the tailgate. One sweet ride. It made me wish I hadn't given away the 66 I had that looked just like it. Without all the Lightning stuff of course.
