I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A VIRTUALLY RUST FREE PROJECT. THE FLOOR PANS & TRUNK FLOOR ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. THERE WAS HAIL DAMAGE ON THE CAR. & DENTS.

PAINT & PANEL FITMENT: I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON A SHOW QUALITY PAINT JOB ON THIS CAR. IT IS TRULY GORGEOUS. I AM QUITE PICKY. I HAVE A 1957 CHEVY SHOW CAR. & WAS IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THIS CAR TO THE SAMNE HIGH STANDARDS. DOOR & TRUNK/HOOD GAPS ARE ALL EXCELLENT.

THIS CAR STARTED OUT AS A GREEN SMALL BLOCK CAR. MY INTENT WAS TO LEAVE THE 500 LETTERING & LOOKS. BUT CHANGE IT TO A GO MANGO 440 CAR. I AM IN NO RUSH TO SELL THIS. & I DO NOT NEED TO SELL IT. BUT WITH FAMILY OBLIGATIONS. I AM RELUCTANTLY DOING SO. I HAVE QUITE A BIT MORE INTO IT THAN THE ASKING PRICE. I DIDN'T WANT A PATCHED UP FINAL PROJECT. AS MY PLAN WAS TO KEEP IT FOR A LONG LONG TIME. SO I STARTED WITH A REALLY NICE CAR. & HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THIS LEVEL.

THANKS FOR LOOKING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. PLEASE CALL ME AT 316. 258. 6169. EVENINGS & WEEKENDS ARE BEST. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME & INSPECT THE CAR-- I THINK IF YOU DO. YOU WILL BUY IT.
