VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
I purchased it from an estate sale in 2008. The previous owner purchased it to be driven in parades. (She had no drivers license) She purchased it from a doctor from LA in 2003. Maintenance records show the doctor owning the car in 1984. It has the original California black and yellow license plate.


Project status: I'm fixing all the leaks that occur from sitting idle for 7 years. Recently had new foam installed in the interior. Replaced wheel cylinders, brake hoses, and fluid. Refurbished the distributor (breaker plate frozen). New paint for the exterior and replated script. In the process of having the rear bumper re-chromed. New heater cores.

Advised by Brian A. that the car was sold to a dealer. Ozstatman(Mal Harris) 1st July 22
Vehicle Modifications
MODIFICATIONS:
Plan to keep it as original as possible. I did the engine oil pump modification to keep the oil and not air flowing. I replaced the vacuum wipers with electric ones.
