OK, a few of you have seen this car. I found it on ebay many years ago and it's just been sitting. It actually still runs :thumbs: It was being made ready for a restoration when I bought it, so I received it in pieces. I think most everything is there... All the numbers match on the car and I can't really find any rust on the car. The pans are still shiny under the battery.

I was going to restore it sometime and probably still will when I get my other cars done. For now I've just decided to pull it back to my Dallas shop and put it back together :thumbs: I'm gonna roll it as a patina for awhile :dance: :dance:

Looks super solid. Is that an original color too?

No, it was resprayed sometime back in the 70's. If you look at the dash you can see the original Strato Silver lurking around.
