Excellent!! From the "Daisy" wheels, to the color, the two tone interior and seats, just the perfect combo. What's the powertrain? LS motor w/6speed? Somebody will be a lucky owner!

Sorry nothing like a LS motor in it just a tried and true ZZ4 with a M21
I wont use another tremec as the last 6 were not good . I price my cars in the 80k range and if I went with a tube chassis and ls motor the price would go up to 150k , and face it there are a lot more people with 80k than 150k . plus if you wanted to put a tube frame under it you could as all the expensive work is already done

Always nice to see them fixed up....Rather than rotting away! Always amazes me how people will let cars rust to the ground then sale them to someone who wants to fix it up!!!

this clip was going to be installed on a 65 BB conv seems some drag racer bought this conv new ran it on a drag strip for 9k miles . He really wanted a coupe so he cut his conv in half and started to install this clip to his bb cowl . Well he died before beginning any welding . I bought this from the guy who owns the 2 piece 65 conv I am working him hard to sell me that car too although he is one of those guys who always say someday I will fix it up to put things into perspective he has so much junk or I mean nice restorable cars it took 2 hours just to excavate this clip

How many coats of base and clear did you spray? The paint looks great. I am getting close to finishing the block sanding on my 67. I thought I knew the color I was going to paint it but your car has made me have second thoughts..... Love the color.. Is it a PPG paint?
