Before & After

THE STORY & THE SPECS

I bought the car when I was 12 years old for $1000, it was originally to be a parts car due to its condition and factory options. However my dad and I decided to take a crack at restoring it. We used a rotisserie to flip the car over, replace and detail all the undercarriage and metal pieces in need of repair. The only original metal in the car is the roof and the firewall. The entire restoration took 4 years and was finished just in time for my 16th birthday. The car came stock with a 289ci four barrel four speed, factory in-dash tach, and 3:00 8 inch posi rear end.
