What is C8DENCE?
C8DENCE is the word CADENCE replacing the “A” with an “8”. C8DENCE in this instance means a “rhythmic flow of a sequence of sounds” e.g. the sound of the JBA Speed Shop AntiCrate™ BBF 385/460/509 Stroker. The piston firing order of 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 is the CADENCE.
I was able to secure both the C8DENCE California Personalized License Plates and C8DENCE.com website URL. This website will be used to document the history of the vehicle. I have been in communication with Fred Piluso, the original owner and builder of the vehicle.

Volo Auto Sales – Buyer Beware!
Purchasing a Classic Car Online from Volo Auto Sales
I am currently writing a review about my “less than satisfactory” experience of purchasing a custom classic vehicle online from Volo Auto Sales in Volo, Illinois on Monday, June 28, 2021.
The vehicle arrived in Costa Mesa, California on Thursday, July 22, 2021 at 13:00 (Pacific Time) and was driven for 10 miles at which time a host of mechanical issues were discovered.

This is an incredible car. Finished 15 years ago and driven 3,500 miles. It still shows and functions incredibly well. I personally drove it home and was impressed. It is ready to be enjoyed – show and go!
