VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
The car may have originated in Oklahoma per the seller. The second owner originally lived in Osceola MO. I purchased the car from a person that found restoring the car was more than he had planned. I paid $85 for the car which came with a 35 GM. Sold the motor for $35, essentially paying $5 for the car. The car is currently in progress for complete restoration. The work is done and is awaiting the interior to be completed. Had the bumpers and other chrome parts redone in Cuba, MO. Still have some parts that need to be rechromed. The original, numbers matching engine is being rebuilt along with the original ultramatic transmission. I plan on having the car completly restored by the end of March. The car will be put u
for sale in the Spring. I've attached photos of the car as I found it, in progress photos as well.
Vehicle Modifications
MODIFICATIONS:
Installed a newer wiring harness to replace the old one to be compatible with today's fuses. I may need to modify the wipers to an electric motor since it is impossible to find an oil pump that can have the vacuum pump rebuilt.
