Less than 1,500 miles since complete restoration in 2007!
This car has undergone a complete frame-off, nut and bolt restoration. The car runs, drives, and handles wonderfully.
I bought the car in 2005 from the original owner's son with 24,808 miles on the odometer (124,808 original miles). Current odometer reading 26,255. Was originally a 2-speed automatic car, but I converted it to a 4-spd floor shift car using all correct 1964 parts. I did all the work on this car myself, except the paint and body work.
