I know this isn't a Muscle Car/Supercar but maybe this will be right up someones alley. I got tired of building big block sleepers and decided to go a different direction with this one. I needed a crusier that I could drive all the time and not worry about the Texas heat.

The is an original "Paint/Patina" straight solid car that I picked up out of El Paso. The floors are solid, with only a couple small spots of rust at the bottom of the rear quarters and lower fenders. I didn't care about the rust though since it only added to the look. Original 283 3 speed on the column. Motor has never been out of the car. The car has 48,000 miles on it. Runs like a top. Doesn't smoke and starts 1st time everytime. Eric at Vintage Musclecar Parts rebuilt the 2bbl and all the plugs, wires, cap, rotor have been replaced. New 4 corner air ride suspension, and all rubber suspension bushings were replaced when the air ride was installed. 18x9" in the front and 20x10" in the rear Billet Specialties "Dagger" wheels and brand new Nitto tires all the way around. Nice car that cruises down road. $15,000 buys it.

I think its great <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif. Two tone seats instead of the rte 66 material would be about all it needs . Fun cruiser. I learned to drive a three on the tree. They are lots of fun if all the bushings and linkages are tight. I'd have a blast with that hot rod. I don't think the insults to a members car are needed either. That's a lot of car for 15K.

The best fun you would have with a car is to not worry about paint!
