Other notes
It has power, dual master cylinder brakes that work great. The front have been converted to four piston disc off of a 1965 TBIRD. . It drives very well especially with a lowered suspension but this is an old car so it drives like an old car. It does have a 1” mark in the paint above the L tail light (see PIC) something got dropped on it after paint. It can be seen and driven anytime and would encourage you to do that. It is stored for the winter but I can have it out within a couple days. It gets a lot of attention when you drive it and is a blast to drive. For that reason, I am not in any rush to get rid of it
Also have $400 car cover custom fit that will go with the car
Car has been driven everywhere and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. It does have some stone chips as it has been used a lot since restoration
I have lots of pics of the restoration so send me what you want a pic of and I will email it to you. I have tried to be as honest as possible
