The search did not locate the exact same SS427 convertible that he owned years prior, but it did turn up another identically optioned example, on which Brody then commissioned a professional restoration by local legend Gary Grant of Maple Ridge. Brody was able to track down and buy the car’s original L36 427/385 HP engine from a New York State Rodder, reinstalling it with the 4-speed and the original rear end. Finished in the correct combination of Madeira Maroon paint with a red interior and white top, the attention to detail exhibited during restoration was second to none and sure to please the show judges.
