Over 3 years was spent to meticulously Rebuild and Restore this classic beauty. The car was built in San Jose Caifornia and never left California. This is a rust free California car, straight as an arrow. Stock ride height, not lowered. This car is NOT a “RESTO MOD”. We kept it stock except the rear end and the air conditioning.
