Nice looking car. Welcome to the forum.

Is there a story to the "garage find"?

 

[61ratvette]

yes there is, if the central Canada meet happens ,we can discuss it over a beer or 2. It was looking at the right time and being at the right place

Thx gentlemen.. the car does take a good picture. it is a 15 footer. needs paint. all bumpers need rechroming . just bought 2 rear bumpers off
fleabay auction last month, the new wheels and redone interior help out.
it is a nice driver.. I can sit or lean on a fender with no worry. not really scared to leave it by itself unless my daughter learns a 4 speed..
Besides the rad winter project is a carb switch instead of a rebuild, waiting for a black Friday or boxing deal on an edelbrock 1406

Mighty fine looking car. Would love to have one! She takes a nice picture even if it is a 15 footer, most poeple are at least that far away when you cruise by anyway!
