current owner I think inherited it, his uncle restored it before he died. The uncle was a machinist and had restored several cars including 57 bel air, a 57 Pontiac convertible, and was doing a 57 Nomad when he died.
Ad says it has a stock suspension even though it has those 14 inch wire wheels. I think the 348 is out of a 58, pretty sure it has a powerglide but don’t know if cast iron or aluminum. I haven’t seen the car up close, last time I saw it was about 10 years ago, it was still being restored.
