Car is near I-75 and located in Middletown, Ohio between Dayton and Cincinnati Payment (cash/PayPal/Cashier's Check) upon pick-up On Mar-10-14 at 19:39:07 PDT, seller added the following information: Let me tell you more about this baby... work supervised by Richard Owsley of Franklin Restoration started by unfastening the frame from the body (it came off clean with nothing broken). 6 dudes lifted the body off (hurry up we're starting to fade) while man # 7 set up 6 -55 gal. drums topped by 4" x 4" cross members. The frame was rolled out between the drums and work began on the frame and components. Every compartment was removed to get it ready for the frame paint. Off to the sandblasters... back to the shop... followed by 2 coats of Gloss Black Imron. Spent over $200 on nuts, bolts, washers and etc. for the front steering and suspension. Engine was rebuilt, rear end rebuilt, transmission rebuilt, interior stripped, radiator replaced. Body was completely stripped and carefully sanded. (The brown spots on the doors are original primer that sunk into the fiberglass). Body trailered to paint shop. Featherfill first and then multiple coats of the whitest and brightest enamel available. Body replaced on frame. Front end alignment. Dyno tested at 425 H.P. That's where the work stopped. 19 Piece carpet set from Pete Chirelli Interiors (Genuine Chevrolet Product) is now in listing.

There may be another info entry if I see something of interest to a bidder but this mostly wraps it up. Dust on the paint as I'm not trying to glam this car up. You know what it is. The pics show that there is no interior damage, fiberglass has no repairs, great glass and trim all around, lots of parts included and clear title in hand. This is a once in a lifetime chance to take a super undercarriage and body to the ultimate level and a place in Automotive History. I hope you have looked closely as I sincerely wanted to show you everything with no surprises later. I wish the buyer much happiness, fun and adventure... equal to or greater than the experiences I have had over all the years of my ownership of this remarkable vehicle. Thanks for looking. Good Luck and God Bless.
