I purchased this vehicle inupstate NY (7) years ago andshipped it to Miami. I installed an all new Bel Air Interior, Vintage A/C with OEM dash a/c vents, 4 speed on the floor, Crager Wheels, white wall tires, new exhaust and mufflers, all new body chrome and chromed up the engine. Some oftheaftermarket body chrome and wheels are now pitted due to Miami humidity. The car has a strong running 350 out of a 1977 truck, with Edelbrock manifold and Holley Carb, with high flow radiator and high charge alternator. I kept the stock exhaust manifolds as I hate dealing with headers. The car is very solid and I always get thumbs up and usually have to spend 10minutes where ever I go talking about it. When valet parking inSouth Beach next to Ferraris, Lambos and other exotic cars,people take pictures in front of my '56, not the carsworth $300,000! The car is ready for new paint. I've decided instead of doing it before a sale, to let the new buyer see the condition and pick his own colors. Its a nicedriver but on close inspection you will see dings, dents and somecorrosion bumps. Overall the body is very solid. There are noaftermarket fenders or body parts, except for chrome. The undercarriage still has the original undercoating on it. I have too many toys to keep up with, with 5 cars, 2 boats and a Harley and I've decided to lighten my load. I hate to see her go but she's ready for a new home.
