This is how I found her.

What a mess.

 

This is what I seen in the old car a cool LOW-ROD.

Two tone Paint with 22" Custom Wheels  "PHOTO-SHOPed"

 

So we drove the old car home 89 miles no issues.

The 383 ran like a top the trans shifted smooth

The stock AM radio p layed the tunes.

 

 

This car is complete an original everything works. Wow what a surprize. 

Factory AC. Even the old school speaker fader tucked under the dash ledge worked!

.

 

 

The Seats were big and comfortable.

They will need to be redone at some point but they were not all haggered!

Door Panels complete and near perfect.

 

Time to start the clean up. The car needed to be buffed out and then hand waxed! What a work out.

Looking Much Better now...

20 feet of steel. The "C" big body!

Old Clifornia Black plates..

The 383 Sled pusher! Ha ha..

She runs strong and shes a rubber slinger

Now I want to see if the 22" 9.5 rear will fit?

Oh Yes they do!

So maybe the big 4 door LOW ROD will run the streets soon. Stay posted........
