This car belonged to my husband, he was in the process of restoring this vehicle when he passed away suddenly, the car was sitting for about 3 years before I started driving it. I do not know alot of details but can tell what I know. The engine was rebuilt about a year before he died, I am not certain,but was told it is a 350 small block that has been modified. I have not had to do very much to the car since I have been driving it. Not sure about the mileage, there was around 10,000 miles on it when he passed away. Both bumpers were replace in 2005, which was when my husband passed away. He was just starting to get the car ready to be painted. The interior is new, he purchased both front and back seats,all seatbelts were replaced also. The dash has been replaced. As far as I can see the only thing needing fixed on the inside of the car would be the carpeting, he had not got to that yet. Since i have been driving it off and on, because I had a van to drive, because I am disabled and needed it for my wheelchair. The only reason I had to start driving it was because my van blew up. I replaced the starter, kept up the oil change. My husband taught me not to let anyone look at it. So I have not had very many mechanics look at it, because I am not sure they know what they are doing, with everything being modified, i have not wanted to let anyone do anything to it. I think the car runs great and have had offers on it on a daily basis. I did take a picture showing the hole in the top. The top was place on it probably 6 months before he passed away. I really love this car and not anxious about selling it. But I need to get a van so i have something to carry my wheelchair, plus i have 4 grandkids that i am raising and need the room. The car does not have air conditioning and the heater blowere just went out. With my illness i need air conditioning in my vehicle. I cannot offer a whole lot of information. other than what I have.But i will post pictures the best I can. I also know what he paid for the car and how much work he put into it. The interior is new, the tires are not that good, but I havent had the money to get new ones. It does have nice wheels on it too. Another reason I would like to sell it is to see it finished and painted, and I do not have the money to do this, my only income it disability. This car has ran great for me for the last 2 years, I have only replaced the starter, nothing else major, oil changes and checked the best I could. Any more information, i would be glad to try to answer, I would like to see someone finish fixing it the way my husband had planned on doing. tender loving care thanks
