The drive train is numbers matching. Motor was professionally rebuilt using quality parts from GM, Manley, TRW, ARP and Comp Cams, etc.

The interior is all original and unrestored except for new carpet and seat belts. All gauges function properly. Original clock runs great, radio works but has some static.
I restored this car to be a dependable driver that can be enjoyed and kept it as original as possible. I have driven it 500 miles since completed. The car runs great and is a blast to drive, everything on the car works like it should. Please contact me with serious inquires and I can provide more information on any questions you may have.
