modified, including a paint job by Gene Winfield. Built at
Celebrity Kustoms. The list of modifications include a chopped roof
line, static suspension drop, shaved door handles, gas door, trunk
emblems, modified front and rear bumpers to accent the body line
and door poppers ensure the smooth and sharp body lines of the

engine and a 3-speed automatic transmission. El Conquistador was
exhibited at the Petersen Automotive Museum for several years.
