I can assure you its not the bodywork, hats off to Carl Beckett in Salem Ohio who's shop did the paint work on this car. The owner of the car recently sold it to start another project. The car was finished in 2004 and saw quite a bit of use. Steve, the owner never hesitated to drive the car anywhere. When the original 348 that was in the car when first finished started using oil, Steve bought a crate small block and drove it with that engine until another 348 was built up and reinstalled. I still remember him complaining about the car when it had the small block and couldn't wait to put the wobblehead back in.

If I am not mistaken , the car is now up on e-bay for sale. I know that the original owner sold it last summer.
