The story

My wife bought it for me for Father's Day / birthday. We bought it from a friend for $300. He only bought it for some of the trim, rf fender, and hood. He gave me an old hood and fender. It needed a brake booster, battery, power steering pump, and power valve replaced. I had a ps pump and battery. — cheepsk8
