Professionally built for SHOW & GO. If you want to
enjoy the nightly “cruise night” or weekly car shows and don’t mind
head turning and attention getting behavior with large smiles. This
might be the car for you. This award winning “Street Rod” was
built with all the attention to details and quality craftsmanship

for another caretaker that would continue to give him that TLC that
he is used to getting.

- Paint is sprayed with
PPG Ultra Violet metallic basecoats. Over that
is a ton of artistry and experience that went into the laying down

the purple violet basecoat on the fenders, doors and hood.
The car was then sealed with numerous coats of clear coat, hand
sanded and polished to an award winning mirror glass finish that
still ranks among the best paints jobs around. Close up it is
clear that Willy has been paid a lot of attention over the
years. It has certainly aged well with only a few small minor
chips due to normal wear and tear. Rest assured the body and
paint still looks absolutely amazing.

Willy is well engineered, he handles and steers smoothly and is
a pleasure to cruise at 30 or 70 mph. He starts easily even
in hot weather. The transmission shifts as it should with no
effort. The AC was charged up last summer. The distributor has a
new electronic sensor. New spark plugs. Tires were replaced the
fall of 2016 and they don’t have more than 500 miles on them.
This car has less than 9000 miles on it. Driving
this car is an indescribable experience and thrill that will keep
you smiling while you motor down the road. The car is priced
right considering amount of high quality parts this car was built
with. No dealers please.
