Nice car.  What's your experience with the Air Ride?

How long does the car stay up once inflated?

How long does it take to come up to proper height once it bleeds down?

Thanks,

Brian

Yea this is the one out of Bakersfield. Got it off eBay .  Engine and chassis numbers match. Original paint is white with a black top.

Takes about 3 minutes to go up and that is with a leak in the air tank. It deflates After 10 minutes. We are considering bypassing the original compressor and tank and upgrading to a ridetech setup where we still use the factory bags . This will also give us more control of the ride height.

If you do make sure you get the system with height sensors and not the one that is only pressure based.

Beautiful car btw!!!  :D

Good to kno thanks !

It's not a show car but a clean driver . It was repainted and they polished and chromed all the trim so it has a clean look. We try to drive it as much as we can. Has the tri power on there too.
