Opportunity;
This is an authentic hot rod that defines the late 50’s/early 60’s era. This is not a new 350/350 street rod made to “look like†a traditional rod. This is the real thing, with documented history and provenance that cannot be duplicated. The rare, hard to find vintage parts alone cost over $200K giving the next owner secure value, as the cost of rare vintage parts continues to climb.
In pristine condition, available for $150,000 OBO, will consider 6-figure offers
Come see the car, it is spectacular.
