The car’s body and paint work was completed in 1998. Being a southern car, the rust was in the battery box and
hood hinge areas. These areas along with both door skins were replaced with new stampings. The car still has its
original floor pans, torque boxes, shock towers and frame rails. This car was still very solid when it was bought
by my friend in 1992. The engine and transmission were rebuilt and installed around 2000. Parts for the interior,
gages and dash were still being collected to finish the car over the next several years however, only small details
were ever completed on the car.
The car has under 73, 000 miles on it and the odometer has not been reset during the 27 years of the restoration
process, even thought it is virtually a new car today. The transmission has a shift kit, and shifts very tight.
The engine is date code correct to the car’s build date
