If you want a rare and unique hot rod that gets attention everywhere you go, this is the ride for you. This is a turn key hot rod that passes VA safety inspection and is licensed as a daily driver. It was and unfinished project I bought 3 1/2 years ago and finished with my teenaged daughter. She is going off to college and needs a more practical ride. Here's the low down on the work that's been done.

Has shoulder harnesses up front (2) and lap belts (3) in the back seat. New 2-speed aftermarket underdash heater. 2 layers of sound deadener over the floors, sound deadening carpet pad. If the mufflers are too loud for you, no worries because the stereo is louder.

BODY New tinted windsheild, vent windows, side glass. Side glass is tempered. New windshield and rear window rubber. All new window channels, felt anti-rattle kit with new division bars. This car has no rattles. New door seals and wind lace. New trunk seal as well. Now the bodywork and paint. Car was from Oklahoma and pretty solid. The paint and body work was done by the previous owner and the quality is not the best. Certainly not show, but looks good from 10'. It's about 4 years old and is showing flaws. The drive side door has some creasing where my daughter "hip checked" the door to close it. There is some bubbling on the driver side rocker, front fender and rear quarter aft of the wheel well. Trunk is solid. The chassis had heavy undercoating and appears solid underneath. There is some damage to the right front body mount cross member but all mounts are solid with no rust. No major dents. Passenger side rock panel has some damage from when the car was transported on a flatbed. Some dings from driving it. Door handles were shaved and the driver door is actuated mechanically through the factrory lock mechanism. Side trim is shaved, hood nosed. Has 61 Olds taillights. Paint is Hot Rod flatz champagne metallic with a custom mix cooper roof. The door jams, trunk and under hood were not painted and show the origianl color. I've describe the work and condition the best I can. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to canx the auction if sold locally. Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipment.
