The description is rather lengthy but this car has so much to
offer. It would truly take 1/2 a day inspecting this car and going
through all the docs to fully appreciate it. The pictures showing
what they went through just to fabricate the air cleaner is
impressive.
EXTERIOR: Solid Texas car to begin with. The body was stripped bare
and put on a rotisserie to be restored meticulously from every
angle. The body is straight as a laser. A lot of attention to the
fit. The body parts were "gapped" making sure everything is flush
and square. It was painted in stunning Viper red, looks like wet
nail polish. All new glass, properly fitted. The convertible frame
was restored. Has upgraded black cloth top that fits perfectly.

the exhaust. Every piece of stainless trim is polished like chrome.
