noticed! The body is in excellent shape. The panels are straight as

laid down like glass, it's polished wet and glossy. All the stock
trim was replaced, the V on the hood and trunk were removed for a

It's slammed down and sitting on American Racing gasser wheels:

floor is the square loop carpet and a custom console that runs
front to back. 4 bucket seats with custom cushions and glovesoft

Clean white face instruments and clock. A custom panel below the
dash has the Vintage Air controls and vents. There is also a
polished tilt column with a red rimmed wheel.

UNDERSIDE: Wow, underneath this car looks like it was dipped in
gloss red paint! All rust free floors and the modified frame is

SERVICE: We inspected the car and adjusted the carburetor, rebolted
the dipstick tube, lubed the driver window regulator, replaced the
passenger window regulator and handle, and repaired the driver's
door lock.
If you are shy, this is not the car for you. It's clean and classy
but at the same time it's like bam! People will notice and they
will be impressed. But really, it's not about them, it's about you.
When you're sitting in the custom leather interior and decide to
mash the pedal, YOU are going to be the one that's impressed!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
