Joe writes, "I got the car in
2001 with 36000 original miles. The old story of the lady that never
drove it, only to the store and back -- well, this is it. She seems
to have always been garaged due to no rot or rust. I did have to repair
the common eyebrow rot under the trim but it was no bigger then dime
size holes. This car has no plastic and all the work was done in metal.
I painted it in 2003 for my wedding but the roof is still the original
white; it was too clean to redo."
"I just swapped the rear axle with one from a 67 c-body (fury).
It was an direct mount operation (and I highly recomend). The engine
was recently rebuilt due to an oil pump malfunction as I was doing
60! One wire GM alt, mopar electronic ignition, 4bbl carter and weiand
intake, true dual exhaust, stock powerflight, and 7 blade fan. I am
into traditional 50's style customizing (no neon) but I respect stock
puritans. It's home is now in New Jersey, I am from Queens, NY. I
hit many shows - Lead East, Englishtown, rock a billy events, etc."
