'65 Monza - Art Silva conversion, KEP, Buick 215 engine
Acquired the car from a fellow enthusiast in Illinois in 2024. I was drawn to the 215 style build due to its preservation of the back seat and the light weight of the Buick engine. The car is as I purchased it a year ago, but alas too many projects on the list ahead of it. Engine runs, brakes work and transmission shifts. Currently the cooling system is not filled. Engine build has a custom Isky reverse rotation cam (documentation included) and is reported to be stroked to 266 cu in
During the process of marketing the car online I was contact by the gentleman who built the car and he provided some interesting information - "I built this car in the 80's as a young Marine in SoCal on a shoestring budget. Raced it in Oregon through the early 90's till I sold it to someone from Cali to fund the family. It's originally a 1966 110/PG I scored off a little old lady from Pasadena. I can't believe nobody did anything to it mechanically. The engine is stroked to 266 cubes wearing ported 64 Buick 300 cyl heads. Custom grind reverse rotation camshaft that I had Ed Iskendarian carve up for me. ... Other than the rust, it looks like the day I sold it. - RS”
