Vehicle Detail
I have owned this car for 30 years and is a rust free New Mexico car. I drove the car for several years unrestored and about 8 years ago had a frame on restoration. The car was restored to be a driver that could be enjoyed and used often. It does well at car shows and wins a lot of trophies. The motor, transmission were rebuilt and the interior and exterior was completely redone. The brakes, steering, suspension was rebuilt or replaced. I added air and cruise control. The windows are power but the front are aftermarket and the rear are stock. The motor is a 292 y block don't know if it is original or not, but it is the motor that was in the car when I bought it 30 years ago. When the motor was rebuilt for whatever reason the mechanic installed forged pistons and they do make noise when the motor is cold. I have about 10,000 miles on the car since it was restored and it runs and drives great. The transmission and rearend are original as is the rest of the car. The wheels are Torque Thrust chrome. The top works find but does need a little help with the rear deck filler panel when closing, it has not been a problem for me but I think all it needs is a adjustment to flipper switch. The cars shows very well as you can tell from the photos, but there are a few nicks and minor flaws, but over all it is an excellant car. If you have any questions, please email me.
