Features... AM/FM Stereo, Single CD Player, Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Keyless Entry, Remote Trunk Release Restoration... Restored: 2002 It has been chopped 4 inches, and a custom cut top with a small rear window was added. The Cadillac tail lights and rear bumper were molded into the quarters to create a unique look. It has a hidden power antenna in the right rear quarter and an overall sleek, low custom look. The FOOSE wheels ($4000) really set the car off. Exterior... The paint is a Cadillac pearl white and is in very nice shape with the exception of 2 small spots on the hood and one on the right rear quarter by the antenna. I am not aware of any rust in this car. Interior... The interior is very nice with bucket seats from a Cadillac Escallade. It has vintage heat & air with dash, floor, & window vents. The gauges are by VDO and look & function great. The carpet is in very nice condition but one kick panel will need to be re-glued. The headliner is in good shape but the inside window trim was not done very well and would need repair to make show ready. However, it is very functional as is for a driver. The driver’s side door glass is cracked and will need to be replaced. No cracks in other glass. Mechanical... The drivetrain is a GM crate 305 with a TH350 transmission. The engine just clicked over 7000 miles. It is just now broken in good and runs like a champ. The front end is a BRAND NEW rebuilt Mustang II with disc brakes & power steering and it handles great. It has been lowered 2 ½ inches for a low rider look. The car does need the rear shackle bushings replaced ($50) because the old ones are dry rotted but they still function Notes... This car is a GREAT start on a very expensive street rod. A lot of money has already been spent on this car and all the major stuff has been done. I am no longer physically or financially able to finish this car. To be in SHOW condition this car would need a new windshield with the right molding, new door glass guides and fuzzies, one new door window, kick panel re-attached, spots mentioned above on body repaired, door pooper installed on ps, and just a few little touch up details. A very MINOR investment to have a car easily worth over $25,000 Page Hits: 338 |
