    Here is the dirty old snake out of the hole for the first time in 30 yrs. Plethora of NOS parts came with her and some finely built orginal running gear...beautiful. This is an easy build. Tks for the interest and sharing my excitement.

    That is a fantastic find. Please keep us up on the progress of the car. I anxiously look forward to in progress reports. They are still out there, and probably more than any of us realize it just takes a little perseverance and luck.

    I see Texas plates on the car, what was the cars history? Looks like a car dealers sticker on the back like on a used car. The licence plate has the old style renewal stickers on it, have not seen those for a few years since Texas went to the windshield placement of registration stickers.


    Nice specimen to begin a restoration from. Does it run?
