The car had a Gardner Deep Tone factory style system on it when we owned it...I would assume it still has it, given the limited use of the car. In fact

Karen and I watched it on the live stream in my office. They never mentioned the fact that the SCW did the resto and that Wayne Bushey was one of the owners and he supplied a ton of NOS parts. The quality of the restoration done by Brian and the attention to detail Stan executed during the resto was amazing. The car won best of show at the Nova Nats, big winner at Vette Fest and lots of other awards. No Chinese parts on that ride...all NOS or restored GM [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

You couldn't come close to building that car for $67k today...but the hobby has changed [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

A resto-mod pickup brings a $150k and this car stalls at $67,000 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Barrett-Jackson...
 

Lots more people with more money than sense. Resto mods are in at the moment.
Your Nova showed very well.

These beautifully built 40 Ford Coupes, a lot of them totally hand built to perfection. Seems like you cant give them away now
