Car was customized fully in a 50's style fashion using lead and all the tricks of the 50's. Once car was complete it was driven to a few shows and then stored in owners collection of 40+ cars never to see the road again other than a mile or 2 each year to keep in good running order. Car was maintained yearly by changingfluidsand starting it by owners handy man helper.

(Very Cool!)Exterior/Paint:The paint on the car is in good shape. It was done in a two toneburgundy/silver metallic with heavy flake. LOOK Closely @ the photos. I have wet sanded front fenders on the car and half the hood & polished them to a mirror finish so it looks like the paint can really be brought back to life in a Great way IF NEW BUYER chooses to stay with this paint job?? Plenty of clear coat on it to work with. The rear fenders have been color/wet sanded to a super smooth finish. They still need polishing so in photos they might appear dull in those area. There are a few chips here and there from being stored all these years but like I said, ith a little effort, his paint can really POP! (See Photos)Car looks good underneath.

Drove it down the road a few miles to test. Sounded Great but The carbs seemed to need adjusted to run smoothly and I am not versed in that. I attempted to adjust the carbs and now cannot get car to start. Seems to be flooding out, o I will have to leave that up to buyer but I do know the engine runs strong as I did drive it a few miles before messing with carb jetting. NOTE: Although we serviced some items on the car, t WILL NEED to be looked at by yourself or local mechanic before being driveable. This car has been in Hibernation for a very long time without seeing the light of day. Since we drove car a few miles, know the motor runs strong and sounds great but the carbs need tweaked!
