Build story
Purchased the car in November of last year from a guy in Illinois 2.5 hours away, 93,000 original miles, I drove over there and fell in love with it, told myself I had to have it.
The previous owner was restoring her back to her former glory and swapped the front out with a ’71 front clip, upgraded the carburetor and intake added a few odd and ends before selling it.
It needs a little love here and there, (don’t we all) ill be adding a cam kit by the end of the year and I’m still on the fence if I’ll be supercharging it next year aswell as rebuilding the top end if I decide to go that route.
All in all it’s a labor of love but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
