is it an original or was it restored?

It looks great for a 57 year old car.

The signs are mostly reproductions. 4-5 signs are original. The original sign prices are just ridiculous.

It is a beautiful car. The paint looks original too. The 401 " Nailhead " engine is legendary and is built strong with forged rods and cranks not to mention being a " torque monster. " Tommy Ivo, raced
twin-Nailhead (placed side-by-side) in dragsters. By the way Chris, Jay Leno and Tim Allen, a.k.a, Tim the tool man Taylor called and said with your second classic car acquisition, you are in now " In the club "


Your membership is pending.



Congratulations on your new car purchase.

Oh I am so jealous Chris, what a beauty, if you get sick of it and feel generous you can ship it as a gift to me, I will give you the address!
What's the mechanics like? Are you likely to pull it down or is it fine the way it is?
