There are about 70 detailed pictures of the entire restoration process. This car was finished in June of 2000.
There have been about 700 meticulous miles placed on this car since it was completed. Its factory equipment includes a 265 cu. in. small block V8, an automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, tinted glass, an AM radio, two-tone paint and dual exhaust system with chromed outlet tips.
Here are some relevant facts about its restoration:
It has been restored to “Concours” condition utilizing original and correct replacement components throughout.
Prior to refinishing, the all steel body was hand fitted and detailed and the clear-coated two-toned original paint scheme has been polished to perfection.

The tires are upgraded P215x75R14 Coker classic whitewall radials and these are mounted on original equipment wheels with caps and wire covers.
