VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
pThis car was purchased as a Dealer trade in in 1967, Fargo North Dakota by my Father John Klapp. Had no brakes and lifter noise. My Dad sold it to my Grandfather, DonSmith in 1972. Grandpa put it in indoor storage in 1972, where it stayed until I inherited it in 21. Car has a correct 63, miles. Nothing has ever been cobbled on or altered, and the 58 year old laquer still has a shine. By the way, the brakes still don't work!


pStatus:


pCurrently attempting to get the 327 running. Had some minor issues with a broken valve stem, and stuck valves. Looking to do a valve job this winter and hopefully after 43 years complete the needed brake repairs so I can drive the car this summer. Currently in my garage with pieces and parts everywhere!
