————————————————–

This is a very recent restoration, the body was stripped to bare metal and the car had very little rust. The front floor pans and spare tire wheel well was replace before being repainted in a great looking two tone scheme. The interior to include the head liner and carpet is band new and is covered with a period correct look. This car has been updated to modern technology and should be quite fuel efficient and comfortable to drive any distance. We only have 30 miles on the car sine the restoration completion.
